If you're riding a rental bus to your terminal it may be faster to get out at Terminal 1 and just walk. Driving between the terminals is always bumper to bumper so the bus can take forever.
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.- 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
The rental car return is usually pretty far from the airport so buffer an hour for traffic between return center and the airport during rush hour!
Kate BoykoApril 29, 2016I expected more. Very few food places and shops in domestic area. Plus, if you have an international transfer flight with a stop here - you would have to go out, pick your bags and change terminals.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)April 20, 2017[PIC] Volaris flights will depart/arrive in TBIT in May but you still check-in at T2. Contact your airline. http://www.laxishappening.com/laxonthemove.aspx #LAXontheMOVE
Carla LongAugust 7, 2013Love the quick check in I totally forgot about the beverage rule. TSA got a bottle of AZ green tea and watermelon drink along with a bottle of water.
Corey RosemondSeptember 29, 2013If you travel more than 5 times a year I strongly suggest signing up for TSA-Pre. They don't collect anything more than the government already has ;)- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)April 19, 2017Frontier Airlines is moving in May from T3 to T6. Passengers check-in at T6 but flights depart/arrive at T5. For more info visit http://ow.ly/ZNaj30aXx6B [PIC] c: official_speedbirdhd
TBIT has no pre check line and the security check line can be quite long. If you have pre check use terminal 4 instead and use the quick pre check land there.
Magnus ModigAugust 3, 2018USB power outlets next to chairs is so Liw powered that they dont charge at all, it just keep the phone at the same level.
Virgin America and Continental are almost always my airlines, and flights are delayed quite often, so don't be surprised if yours is. Oh, and it gets chaotic in the afternoon.
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!- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)October 11, 2016[PIC] Designated smoking areas outside & away from terminal doors are available. Follow orange signs. #LAX101
Manoj GillaApril 14, 2013If you know your bags gonna arrive late (happens when u check them late at the tine of boarding). I suggest to stay n spend time in the gates instead of walking to baggage claim. No foodspots down.
Dianna MarksJune 24, 2019Sunday night is a busy time to arrive at LAX and there is a lot of traffic. Sunday afternoon is not a busy time to depart from LAX and you should breeze by security.
MiramaxApril 2, 2012You're on Jackie Brown's turf! The opening scene was shot right here. If you're arriving, look for the tiled walls on the walkway to the main terminal & hum Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street."
Ollie MartinMay 7, 2013James Bond lands at LAX with Tiffany Case accompanying a coffin full of diamonds while under cover as a diamond smuggler in Diamonds Are Forever (1971).
Getmanski DennisFebruary 13, 2014Saint that it is airport notion, and I thought it is countries political affairs that figure out how one will enter and leave thе country. Big minus for such a customer relationship!
be prepared for security checkout. everything out of your pockets, means everything. I got here early, almost no waiting. now time to enjoy my 9.00 orange juice.
FlightCenter.comDecember 30, 2011TSA TIP #5 Once through the x-ray machines take your belongings (trays) off the belts & get re-packed & dressed in the areas designated for this rather than holding up the lines at the x-ray machines.- FlightCenter.comDecember 30, 2011TSA TIP #1: Before getting to the screening check points clean out your clothing pockets as well as any metals/jewelry etcetera and put them into your carryon bags (or jacket pockets) ahead of time.
It's big it's slow it's worth getting priority upgrade to avoid the lines, it has decent shopping but the gates can be a long walk. The quality of the terminal depends on the airline you fly though.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)July 12, 2017[PIC] So many choices! Stop by @earthbar in T6 for a variety of healthy & yummy eats! #LAXeats c: @itsronayeh
TO be honest, I have very little good to say about LAX lately. Getting to terminals is horrible, the ride app pickup location is forever away, & you can’t even get a draft beer at the int’l terminal
Mariya YakovenkoApril 26, 2016Everything is pretty much over priced and check in, security, and restaurant lines are very long. Ah, gotta love LA.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)June 21, 2016Water bottle filling stations are available in Terminals 1 and 6 and more are landing in other terminals soon! #LAX101 [PIC] LAWA
Shann BiglioneJanuary 12, 2012Make sure you do your shopping before you get to LAX. It has the most ridiculously small duty free shops on the world (in LA, would you believe). Also make sure you eat beforehand!- Car Service to LAX, LA Town Car ServieJuly 14, 2014Reliable and Affordable LAX Car Service Transportation to or from all over Southern California, 24 Hours a day, 7 Days a week here at Car Service to LAX Read more
If you are traveling to Hawaii, you MUST have your “safe travels” and/or Clear pass prior to arriving.
There’s an EarthBar in Terminal 6. The Osteria across the way from it serves some decent wines as well.
Take the stairs to the lounges in T2, and you’ll find some respite away from the crowds just outside the lounges.
Don't underestimate the walk to gates 80-88 ...it's a long haul. But good news...there are food and shops right by the gates. So don't feel like you have to grab food by the 70s gates.
LAX needs a serious facelift. However the International Terminal is pretty good and Customs is SUPER fast and efficient...unlike JFK.
Ignore the Starbucks line in the AA terminal upon arrival - there's a little known and line-free one just downstairs by the exit.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)June 2, 2016Let's welcome the newest member of the LAX family! XL Airways debuts with nonstop service to Paris operating at Terminal 2.

Ketan SampatMay 17, 2014Huge, crowded airport. They make you tag your own bags. Talk about making customers work and pay for doing the work!
The new terminals and amenities are excellent! ✈️ efficient layout too!- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)April 19, 2017[PIC] Thomas Cook Airlines is moving in May from T2 to TBIT. Other airlines moving too. Contact your airline. http://ow.ly/8UxQ30aXwet #LAXontheMOVE
Stephen BosargeFebruary 21, 2017Ack, definitely easy before you get shuttled to regional terminal. Food is ridiculous price, and not too nice to eat either
Landing in LAX from an international flight with checked bags? You'll need to go through US customs here retrieve your bags and recheck them for connecting flights. Get Global Entry and cruise through- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)May 24, 2016The new @grabmobileapp food app just launched! Save time by placing & pre-paying for pick-up orders on your way through terminals!
Zack WilliamsDecember 18, 2022Compared to some other int’l airports it is a bit of a mish-mash. No railway/light transit connect means traffic is awful. Staff on the other hand are a revelation all mainly friendly and helpful.
Yousif DNovember 8, 2016One of the busiest airport I ever been. Southwest terminal is the best so far!
Whether you go to pick up someone or see someone off, drive up the Departures and park in Parking 3/4. People drop off and leave so the route is not crowded compared to arrivals. Just take elevator do- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)April 21, 2017[PIC] Air Canada is moving in May from T2 to T6. Other airlines moving too. Contact your airline.http://www.laxishappening.com/laxonthemove.aspx #LAXontheMOVE
- FlightCenter.comDecember 30, 2011TSA TIP #4 When loading your belongings onto the x-ray belts load them in an order to help expedite at the other end. THINK, (a) suit case first, (b) laptop bags/purse, & (c) your shoe & belts tray.

"Best terminal in LAX, not much to say. Great retail, great restaurants, quick & easy immigration. The new TBIT was a very much welcome addition to LAX."
Jose Antonio Tena Sendra
"Homeboys has the best food at the lowest prices in the terminal. Their baked goods are delicious!!! Many of the other cafes actually sell their stuff at a higher price."
Leah H
"More than decent Eggs, bacon and potato breakfast at Rock & Brews. Order eggs over easy."
