    Most affordable Beer/Shot combo I have found in an airport. $13.

    If you have to leave from Gate 1 or 2 in Terminal 1 (SW Air), bring some sort of entertainment. They both look like sets from a prison movie and are removed from the other gates with no windows or TVs

    New terminal 6 for United Airlines express is awesome! Can’t wait for the rest of the LAX facelift!

    Was able to get from arrival terminal at Virgin Air to International departure terminal via tunnels. Didn’t have to go past security, was very helpful.

    Instead of driving around in circles while trying to pick someone up, you can park at the airport Encounter restaurant and wait if there are parking spots available.

    Gladstones is really the only option for food or beverage. Grab a seat at the open seating area near the bar instead of waiting for a table.

    Though a major airport, it does not contain the number and variety of amenities you might expect. A long layover is a good excuse to explore the surrounding areas to help pass the time. Read more

    Welcome to LA, home to parking lots that double as highways. 18 miles separate you from downtown L.A. once you hit the road. At least picking up your Emerald Aisle rental will be a breeze.

    As for a room if you have two cats to get past security. Easier than taking them out with a lot of activity happening.

    The most amazing place to sit and wait for your flight. In the Qantas Lounge.

    A sad and miserable airport. Airports like PDX invite you to linger and explore while awaiting your loved one or waiting for your flight. LAX encourages you to get the **** out one way or another.

    Under renovation, looking to be much better. But if you are traveling here before Oct, note that the dining places are not opened yet. There is free starbucks and mineral water though...

    Be ware of the lady with the drawn on eyebrows that checks your carry ons Before you get through Security. She takes her job seriously, just like how she draws on her eyebrows... Seriously.

    Be aware TSA rules, prepare, organize your personal belongings. This will save you time and reduce stress.

    Crowded. Take the left exit for Terminal 7 for a shortcut or to go down to arrivals. Watch out, the 105 Exit is on the far right.

    LAX takes a little longer to get through than most airports so for a safe measure of time be sure to get here 2 hours before departure.

    If you're going to fly with your child, make sure you teach them to be quiet first. Some of us would like to blog and do work in silence.

    Southwest Priority - they don't have a specific lane setup for checking baggage - but if you ask, they'll skip you to the front of the line. Skip through security line as well ;)

    If you are outbound from the #USA, bring a mask. Particle counts here are high. If returning from #Beijing or #Taipei, enjoy the #AirQuality!

    Pre check is the way to go. Get to keep everything on and just breeze through security.

    Flew Southwest, got to airport at 3:10 pm, flight departed 4:00 pm. Made it through security, had time for a drink and the plane left on time. Very impressed!

    Contrary to popular belief, this building in the middle of the airport is not a spider. It's a space ship. Enjoy a meal at Encounter the next time you have a decent layover.

    Spirit ppl are super responsive! I left 2 leather jackets and sunglasses at 1 floor. Lady bring it to me in a 5 min and when I was trying to tip her, she didn't accept any money from me! Thanks Spirit

    Upgrade if you've got a long layover. It's more than worth it for access to the VIP lounge and your flight will be so much more comfortable.

    Whenever I fly out, I specifically wear my studded booty shorts and lots of massage oil all over my body to cause stress at TSA. Guaranteed enhanced pat down, if you enjoy that sort of thing! ;)

    One of the few places you can get something for breakfast that resembles low Carb. It ain't perfect but the other restaurants in T2 are worse.

    Come with plenty of time plenty of traffic jams in the airport. If you don't mind paying for parking your better off parking to avoid the traffic jams.

    You can now goes from Bradley terminal to terminal 4,5,6,and 7 after security. Tips go to terminal 4 which is American Airlines and walk to Bradley terminal for faster security.
