Did you know?

  1. 01

    The iconic Theme Building, a 1961 mid-century modern spider-legged restaurant structure, is a designated Los Angeles landmark and one of the most recognisable airport buildings anywhere.

  2. 02

    LAX is famously spread across nine separate terminals arranged in a horseshoe around a central taxiway — historically without a landside connector, though the automated people mover changes that.

  3. 03

    It is the primary west-coast gateway of the United States and one of the top five origin-destination airports in the world (many passengers start or end here rather than transfer).

Sprawling and stuck in traffic

Pros

The international terminal has improved and offers a decent selection of food and shops.

Cons

Getting to and from the airport means crawling through some of the worst traffic imaginable.

LAX is a place I endure rather than enjoy. The terminals are scattered and connecting between them often means going outside and dealing with congestion. Once you're inside the international building things are better, but the approach roads nearly made me miss my flight.
