    Looking for pancakes? Of course you are! Hit up Monet's (terminal 6) for some amazing blueberry & banana pancakes.

    If you're flying out of Terminal 1 but want to say goodbye or have breakfast before passing thru security, it's a 2 minute walk to the secret @Starbucks in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2.

    Stand as close to the baggage carousel as you can. Make sure no one else has a view of what's going on...

    Free wifi is fine and security from early international flights that get here before 6 is a walk.

    Don’t park here. Lyft in and out. Oh, you can also stop at In N Out while on your way to or from.

    What's with the toilets, gaps so wide in the cubicles they may as well put the loo in the middle of the room for all to see. AWFULL

    UberX car service from WeHo to LAX for $38, no hassle, clean cars and direct charge to your credit card. It just works!

    There are underground tunnels that will get you to baggage claim and/or outside faster than walking through the terminals. Look for the escalators!

    Be prepared for extra long lines. Baggage claim for Southwest Air and Airtran is always Baggage Claim carrousel #1 or #2 only.

    It was a nightmare getting in/out of here. Rental cars are offsite via shuttles. Long walk between terminals via hot underground tunnels. Hope I never have to come into LAX again!

    If Flying Virgin America it's worth flying "Cabin Select" - Free food, drinks of any kind, and amazing leg room - feels just about (almost) 1st class. Plus you can bypass regular security at TSA and g Read more

    Shuttles pass btw moving planes like it is regular traffic .. to go frm one terminal to another I had to step out and redo security. Old lady trips at the bottom of escalator and humans pile up!

    For Terminal 4-American Airlines First Class/EXP check in, drop off is the door closest to the International Terminal (or by Qantas check-in area). This is to avoid having to fight the crowd inside T4

    If you get a grilled chicken Caesar salad from the Starbucks in the American Airlines terminal, don't use the flimsy plastic fork to cut the chicken! It will break and make a mess.

    Pay attention, traffic changes fast and there are lots of crazy drivers. Look for 20 somethings carrying backpacks on their front; they are paparazzi- stick around you might see someone renown!

    Parking can be a pain. Valet is off site. Most terminals need updating. International terminal is almost complete and delta has had a make over. American is working on theirs.

    Charge your batteries... you'll find Jimmy Hoffa before you'll find an outlet. Random power towers that are awkward and miserable to share.

    Don't arrive at the airport too early. It doesn't open till 4am and if you are cutting it close on time, most airlines will help you get through security so you don't miss your flight.

    Don't hold up the security line - if you're wearing complicated shoes, there are tons of benches right after security where you can do them up

    Parking in Economy Lot C? Give yourself some extra time and prepare for a jam packed ride on the shuttle bus. Central terminal parking is expensive ($30/day), but oh so convenient.

    This isn't a tip either, it's a question - is there not a bar in T4? If you refer me to Chillis Too, I will call you a douche. Also if you charge me $5.29 for Evian, you're also a douche (Hudson News)

    Haven't been here for past few yrs and security have changed a lot but it is not as bad as everyone makes it to be; maybe bc domestic flight? Went thru security at 11am and got thru around 11:15ish.

    If you are on an American airlines express shuttle, you have to take a bus to a separate area with no coffee and only cpk. Get your coffee and snacks before boarding shuttle!

    If you stay at the Sheraton next to LAX, don't! Sleep on your luggage in the grass. The bed was like sleeping on sail cloth on top of 1/8" plywood on top of old truck leaf springs. F this place

    If you are flying United, you should join TSA's pre-check program first. It allows you to go through security without removing shoes, laptop or liquids. Was a breeze!
