    Whatever your travel time to LAX, add another :20 to get to the actual terminal once on the roadway. Traffic is as bad in the airport as outside. Also if you a frequent traveler get CLEAR. Its GOLD.

    For Backpackers: Go Airport or Super Shuttle are available outside at the curb for a cheap ride. USA Hostels Hollywood is a brilliant stay for a great price and atmo and perfect location

    Great airport, easy to move through security quickly. Food is overpriced, but fairly efficient place to travel through.

    If you have a Priority Pass, it’s worth calling them and asking if they accept it - on Sunday, I’ve walked to every lounge that was on the list and I was turned down in every terminal.

    The lemonades in terminal 5 (delta) is hands down the best restaurant at the airport. If you're feeling lucky, sneak into the delta sky club across the way for free booze

    According to LAX itself, so long as you have a same day boarding pass and a government-issued ID, you can go terminal hopping. Make of this what you will...

    When you land at Tom Bradley Terminal on a layover, after you cleared customs, go right back in to cross security. It's much faster than walking outside.

    You can take lax flyaway shuttles to different areas in the city. You might want to take Uber or cab from there, better than the airport itself

    Connections are reasonably accessible and the immigration control is greatly improved with the self service lines. Having said that, it has nothing on the transit hubs in Asia...

    For an airport this size w/the # of domestic and int'l passengers coming through, it's pretty deplorable and disorganized. Give yourself extra time dropping off your rental and taking the shuttle.

    [PIC] Key part of @Clear value is the trained team members available at T2/T3 pods to help members through security quickly & effortlessly

    Marmalade Cafe in the United terminal 7 has tasty an fresh food. The roasted veggie and goat cheese wrap is flavorful and delish.

    I usually fly Delta, and the Delta terminals are undergoing renovations. This airport is always crazy busy with inadequate seating and restrooms. Food options have improved more recently.
  • Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
    [PIC] 8 days until Delta moves May 12 from T5 to T2/T3. Other airlines swapping terminals too. Contact airlines for info & http://www.laxishappening.com/laxonthemove.aspx. #LAXontheMOVE

    If you can, fly American Airlines. Relatively a breeze checking in and somewhat organized. As for LAX, what can I say, they're a work in progress 😎

    If the arrivals area is super busy when you're going to pick someone up, it's usually faster and easier to have the person meet you at the departures area instead! People tend to move faster.

    Always 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

    Taking a red eye? Buy one of these sleepy neck pillows at the gift shop. Well worth the $15. But don't pull the tag off or the little inside beads will fall out :(

    Vegetarian & on a budget in Terminal 7? The best deal would be Carl's Jr/Green Burrito - a cheese quesadilla with beans is $3.49 plus tax #traveldeals

    LAX is a gigantic airport and the hub of SoCal. No matter what day and time it's jam packed. Getting from one terminal to another can be a real pain in the a**; keep in mind to allocate plenty of time

    Learn the streets within the airport. If you're trying to get out of the airport from terminal one and go all the way around, you're missing a great shortcut!

    Free WiFi, not much seating in the holding area at gates 61 & 63, make sure to come early to this gate if you care to sit comfortably.

    All the outlets on those Samsung charging stations occupied? Not to fret -- there are power outlets to be found at LAX. Just gotta keep your eyes open. Tip: bring a power strip and share an outlet.

    Make sure u budget extra time for arriving to your terminal. Google maps only calculates the time to get to the airport itself.

    If you're here for a 6am flight, and like me, you like soup for breakfast, CPK starts serving soup at 5am (2 vegetarian options too).

    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.

    On a busy night it can take an hour to drive once around World Way so don't warn your friend who is picking you up because you might lose your ride.

    Terminal 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.
