A nice airport! Very busy, but we had a flight early in the morning with United to Hawaii. I'd definitely recommend getting TSA PRECHECK, otherwise you're in for a long wait to pass security. Otherwise the rest is pretty quick and easy!
Ugh, worst international airport when it comes to departure tsa. THEY PATTED MY MINOR CHILD ON HIS PRIVATE PARTS!
We have Global Entry/TSA Precheck. My son broke his zippers so everytime he get on the scan, it beeps, he went through it 3x. Took shoes, socks, no belts, empty pockets, nothing left on him but pants, t-shirt and underwear. Then, this tsa went to pat him and touch his privates! The other tsa told him, he can't do that. We made a complaint and have a to wait from someone higher ups. Hope he gets fired.
As for arrival, customs officers and employees have better manners and friendlier.

It's one of the largest and most busiest airports you'll ever see. This airport is just as busy as it gets, lots of foot traffic inside the airport and lots of traffic outside the airport as well, lots of cabs and Uber which is very costly due to all the traffic. Despite all that, this airport is very easy to navigate, I didn't have any problems getting to where I needed to go, so that's a plus for me.
I recently took a flight out of LAX airport, and it was one of the best airport experiences I’ve ever had. There were not many people where you check your bags in. The security was about a 5 minute wait, and the walk was very short to my gate. Overall I had a great experience at this airport.
What can I say? Getting in and out of this airport by car is an absolute nightmare. Waited nearly 90 minutes to get picked up from Terminal B today. On the plus side, baggage services were reasonably quick, immigration wasn't bad at all (thank you GlobalEntry), and our plane only sat on the runway for 30 minutes before deplaning. Terminal B is also very nice with plenty of amenities. Unfortunately, just doesn't make up for the huge inconvenience of getting picked up from here. But if you're coming into LA, your kind of stuck with this.
The airport is quite busy (at least international terminal), but it is managed quite well (e.g. security inspection). Decent shopping and some eating shopping inside. Seems enough space to sit down which is becoming an issue due to allocation of space for retail.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LAX airport exceeded my expectations! The facilities were clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable travel experience. The signage was clear, making navigation a breeze. Security procedures were efficient, ensuring a smooth process. The staff was friendly and helpful, addressing any inquiries promptly. Although a busy airport, I experienced minimal delays. LAX is a top-notch choice for travelers. ✈️🌟👍
