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
If you are flying domestic, have just a carry on and already have your boarding pass, getting here an hour and 15 mins before take off is just about right during off peak times.
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.
There are lots of food options in the international hall. Don't forget to buy candy for people back home.
If you are picking somone up after 8pm, have them come up to the Departure level. It won't be as busy since many flights arrive after 8 pm.
Total chaos if you're picking up someone or being dropped off. Security isn't as tight as it is in other airports. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
The Blonde GypsyMarch 16, 2013This isn't a tip, it's a statement - Terminal 4 is where you will find HOMEBOY Bakery. Pretty much the raddest bakery name I've ever encountered. That is all, have a nice flight.
Star Alliance Lounge is the second best after Istanbul! Very modern airport. Nice to come back.

It's an Airport. Security is strict so no messing around guys!. Good selection of places to eat, decent sized gate waiting areas and nice lounges if you're that lucky.
Johnny at the first security check point for USAir and Southwest is the best. Ask him about his golf game.
DoubleTree by HiltonAugust 7, 2013Come by to visit the El Segundo Museum of Art. With only 2,000 square feet of exhibit space, they showcase art works from all over the globe.
Klatch Coffee in UAL terminal is CLUTCH with best espresso in any domestic airport.

Sign up for Global Entry to help getting through customs and immigration faster. Well worth the $100 and valid for five years, especially if when going through the madness of arrivals at TBIT!- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)May 19, 2017[]PIC Have you heard?

Prathyusha SandilyaDecember 9, 2018Very big airport but very organized. Get there well ahead of time to avoid marathons inside.
The newish LAX-it (LA exit) way of getting to the rideshare pickup seems painful but isn’t bad. Better than the mess it was before.
You can easily spend your entire layover in line for a latte. You're better off just hitting one of the expensive bars for a morning drink. If it has OJ, it's a breakfast food.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)July 16, 2014LAX Travel Advisory for #CenturyCrunch happening July 25-28. Get details & traffic tips -->

If landing here close to 5, choose your immigration line wisely, shift changes happen at 5 and it is anything but seamless. You think this is something they would have figured by now.
Try out your digital boarding passes here, you can check in and board all from your phone. The good restaurants are at the international terminal. If ur going to Vegas fly Southwest.
United has a Marmalade Cafe, a Kitson & a Coffee Bean. It's like "Little LA", but no traffic, panhandlers, or effing Umami Burgers. #onlythegoodstuff
Everything about the domestic terminals suck here. I travel a lot but it's embarrassing that this is the airport where I live
If flying virgin, upgrade your seat while checking in. $55 for main cabin select (free food, booze!!!, and movies and you skip security lines) when flying to Seattle. worth it.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)April 24, 2017[PIC] Hawaiian Air moving in May from T2 to T5. Other airlines moving too. Contact your airline. http://ow.ly/zzSP30b3L7E #LAXontheMOVE
If you have a lot of time to kill go to the mod bar/lounge in that space age tower. It's awesome!
Yasmin KhanApril 1, 2011Get there early and be old enough to grab a drink before you fly. The staff is infuriating, especially in United Airlines. Be sure to watch when you're flight boards b/c they don't always announce.
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!
Jeffrey VolosinFebruary 28, 2015Best airport ever and so close to el Segundo! It's great. I like hearing the airplanes at night.
If you're coming back internationally, expect to spend 2 hours clearing customs and checking bags back in... Not to mention possibly changing terminals. Make sure you have the extra layover time!
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.
Pro Tip: After you come through security, collect your things and reassemble yourself at the nearby benches. Keep the flow going.
Make sure you give yourself some time on Delta because they have two terminals and have to take a bus between.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)November 5, 2014LAX's 3rd application site for TSA precheck is now open! Travelers can enroll in the program at Southwest Airlines' Terminal 1, on the baggage claim level. Read more
If you have dog there is fenced in mini dog park between American Airlines+Bradley terminal in corner complete w astro turf+fire hydrant
Make sure you get here 2 hours early for your flight. Security takes 15 minutes when you are early and over an hour when you are pressed for time.
Daniel CortésMay 1, 2017Getting here as a foreign passenger will be very stressful for you, the attention is good but the waiting time is just too much.
Adriana PatinoSeptember 19, 2018This airport is huge! When connecting from an international flight make sure you have at least 2 hours to to go thru customs, immigration and the security check points.
