Jane DoeSeptember 2, 2014Fly Delta! They give you actual food (starbucks-esque little healthy boxes) not those airline peanuts we're all used to. 😍🍴☕️
Melissa BrennerAugust 17, 2012Always super busy. Luckily there are outlets around the waiting areas of the terminals in case you need to charge your phone. Try food at a place you've never heard of, some of it is good
There’s an EarthBar in Terminal 6. The Osteria across the way from it serves some decent wines as well.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)December 10, 2013LAX Gifts: Travel in style ladies! Stylish Victoria’s Secret passport/boarding pass holders make great holiday gifts! #LAXGifts #FlyLAXIntl
DoubleTree by HiltonSeptember 27, 2011Long flight? Peanuts are okay, but bringing a filling, healthy snack like almonds or fruit will keep you tied over until your destination. For more travel tips and fun, follow @DoubleTree on Twitter!
If you have to use the restroom, hold it until you get to your next city. Or find a crack den... It will be cleaner.
Wait out the airport traffic in the cell phone lot at 96th and Vicksburg and have whomever you're picking up wait at the curb once they have their luggage.
International frequent fliers, you can get to Tom Bradley Int. lounges from T4 / AA after security. Make use!
Carla JeanNovember 1, 2011LAX Is A GIGANTIC Airport!! The Views Are INCREDIBLE!! Check Out All The GREAT Gift $hops As You Wait To Board Your Flight!! I LOVE FLYING!!
If you're on a long layover, Encounters is the best place to wait it out. Barbarella-style 70's decor with a view of the runways makes you feel like the swinging jet-setter you are.
AmmaroDecember 27, 2013Rent a car! Don't bother with taxis and pu - it will actually cost you less to drive around and you'll get to see more of LA!
Emre AktunaSeptember 18, 2018New design is very good.Clean and comfortable.You can use free internet
Brett SiksniusOctober 9, 2019Rental car shuttle takes some time in and out. United is terminal 7 (the last one when getting back to the airport)
michael simmonsAugust 12, 2014Use the cut-across road (left side exit located just after y get into the airport)to get to United airlines terminal 6 and 7.
LAX Terminal 6 has the most power outlets you will find in any North American airport. It's also incredibly loud so don't plan on too many productive business calls.
Look for the underground train. It takes you from terminal to terminal with out having to go out side. They have golf carts down there moving people and bags around.
Green line bus takes you right under the runway. If you are lucky you can have a flight land right above you!
Lemonade at gate 52 is always delish! Especially when it comes to vegetarian options. Try the chili!
Joshua Herzig-MarxNovember 18, 2016Terminal 3 is terrible: small, crowded, insufficient security stations, long lines, few amenities, and in desperate need of a revamp. But the dog walk area is a nice treat to get outside in the AM.
When coming to pick up the wife or girlfriend always bring a dozen red roses. That's how I roll.
With the new machines, I was able to clear the borders (for entry) in no time 👍🏻
When on an escalator, stand on right, walk on left. Put your bag in front of you. You never know when you're blocking someone from the flight they need to catch.
Shani BMarch 13, 2019Register for Global Entry! You get TSA-pre check and easy lines when returning through US Customs and Immigration
Come early just in case drop-off traffic and security is impacted! Pretty much smooth sailing afterwards ✌🏾- Great airport, free wifi, good coffee, plenty of places to hide out
Tom Bradley International Terminal seems just revamped, very good environment and with free wi-fi and nice DFS.
Prathyusha SandilyaDecember 9, 2018Very big airport but very organized. Get there well ahead of time to avoid marathons inside.
Patrick LeeDecember 10, 2012Sometimes at night, its easier to have family pick you up in the departure deck rather than on the arrivals. Very few people are on the departure and it's less confusing for the person who is coming.
Airports are great places to prepare for a presentation. Visit the newsstand and read a book, paper or magazine for timely items. Customize the presentation with fresh news or ideas.
Fernando FloresJune 27, 2014Make time to grab a beer / drink after arriving! Some great places to grab a drink and some grub.
If you can Avoid Driving to LAX choose Road Runner Shuttle they go from LAX-Long Beach Burbank etc... They have really good Prices, are On time and Professional also dress the part (805)-389-8196
Jenny MoomooJuly 13, 2015This place is crazy . be ready to swap gates.TSA is a little bit more specific any other airport I have been too which is expected, so be ready for instructions.
At the Tom Bradley international terminal (B) there is only 1 small bar after you go through security so if you're looking for food or drink, get it in the main public area.
Breathe deep: LA has that amazing sweet, desert air. And make sure your sunglasses are within easy reach.
Hint: Your gate number will tell you what terminal you're in. Gate 15 is in Terminal 1. Gate 64 is in Terminal 6. If your gate begins with a B, you're in the Bradley International Terminal.
The airport club lounges are great place to meet A-listers and pharmaceutical reps while getting a decent continental breakfast.
Terminal 3 has a ‘Dog Relief’ area after security. It’s a good place to sit outside and catch some sun between flights.
United has a Marmalade Cafe, a Kitson & a Coffee Bean. It's like "Little LA", but no traffic, panhandlers, or effing Umami Burgers. #onlythegoodstuff
Johnny at the first security check point for USAir and Southwest is the best. Ask him about his golf game.
Use the departure lane; it’s less busy and tell the person you’re picking up to meet you on the 2nd floor
IrinaAugust 14, 2014LAX is like a Frankenstein's monster: too big, too patchy, too disjointed, and too inescapable (unless you have a private air strip). But don't fret: you'll get through it.
Wojciech SkrokJanuary 25, 2015Good? That in every seat in Tom Bradley International Terminal (Departures) is USB plug in for chargers. But worse that there isn't Smoking Area at all after security check! BE AWARE!
Rated one of the most dangerous airports in America. In dire need of updated which they are thankfully. Still is our doorway to the world.
If you're flying Southwest & don't have your boarding pass already, stop @ the kiosk by the door. Then you can go in the Express Lane if you need to check a bag. Faster than the full service line!
Hannah EspiaJanuary 2, 2014Got free WiFi from the WallyPark shuttle buses that come every few minutes. Just enough to check in on FourSquare :))
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)December 3, 2014Air New Zealand now operates from the new Tom Bradley International Terminal and no longer from T2.
Busy airport with good network of shuttle buses to all rental cars
