Nothing like coming off a long flight I'm having to either carry your bags upstairs/ walk more for a ramp..

I've always loved Delta and the old terminal was just fine. This new one is fancy ( gearing up for the Olympics?), but stairs at baggage claim.??? Uh, NO.

Got to the gate 1:45 minutes early, breezed through.

I was traveling to Hawaii and LAX was one of my only options, typically try to fly out of Burbank. But I have to say, LAX has really made huge improvements, I was surprised. I had not flown in or out of LAX for years. Inside was very clean, lots of new shopping experiences, food, etc. the line to check in to our gate was short and moved fast, the security line was also very quick. Could have been we were there at 6am, but either way a much better experience than my previous ones. Traffic getting too and leaving LAX is still a bear and why I am leaving this as 4 stars. It is such a pain driving there and driving back, the round about can be difficult as well, but it is mainly the freeways that are the headache. Overall, very happy with my recent experience at LAX and I would consider traveling through there again when I have to, but the traffic still does not make it my first choice, although they have made tons of great improvements to LAX overall. Enjoy!

LAX is really busy!! This time my plane landed further from the terminal than usual. We had to go down a series of ramps to get off. It seems like there's always construction going on. It's very clean, but noisy. All the employees I have interacted with have been helpful and kind. There's a lot to look at here too, public art and all kinds of people.

It's a good airport terminal. Clean. Well spaced out. LAX is its own beast getting there. But once you're at the terminal, it's good. Big with ton of space to spread out and sit. Tons of places to eat

It had been a while since I last flown out of this terminal as I don't usually fly with Delta. On my most recent trip out to Rome, Italy, I came here to catch a Delta flight out to JFK Airport. I was pretty impressed by all of the renovations that they had done to this terminal! Everything was now modern looking and way more spacious! I definitely wouldn't mind flying through here again in the future!

Fast quick arrival area and good tsa security. Organized and safe, professional and capable staff. Patrons need to pay better attention as many needed to be guided which line to go to.

Check in.

Great signage, outstanding security, Delta staff on point and all kiosks were working. Had to arrive at o'dark thirty (0330) for early flight. Please note: this terminal's TSA won't open until 0400. You can check bags but will not go through until then. Was amazed there were so many food and drink options available at that hour, as well as, sundries and gifts. Signage is outstanding, bright, very clean, safe and Delta rocks.

I am so glad their TSA line was fast and convenient. Nice airport with plenty of support staff to keep the passengers safe. Bathrooms and Delta VIP lounge are readily available throughout the airport. Plenty of restaurants and bars onsite.

We were in our way to Hi and TSA was taking their job way too serious! My bf and I both have TSA pre and I have global entry. We were both "randomly" selected to go through the scanner thing as was about every 3 out of 4 people. On top of that, I was asked to remove my jacket, watch and take my iPad out! My bf was asked to take his shoes off and place his laptop outside and his iPad on a separate bin. From there, his bag also got flagged. There were so many "flagged" bags that the conveyor had stopped. We sat them making an older lady open a tin of cookies that was sealed and was supposed to be a gift only to find out there was nothing wrong with it. My bf got flagged because he had a vape in his bag. They have never flagged his vape before and he travels often. Overall we were there about 30 mins just because of them being a pain.

Fresh Juice at the WESTIN CLUB LOUNGE at the Westin Los Angeles Airport for Marriott Bonvoy Elite Members

4/21/2015 - Boarding The Westin Los Angeles Airport Shuttle leaving at 7:55 AM and arrived at the Delta Terminal 2 at 8:03 AM. Thereafter, 1) went through a self-checking kiosk to get a boarding pass; 2) went through a security checkpoint via my Global Entrance ID, which cut down the time by an estimated 30 minutes; 3) exiting the checkpoint at 8:30 AM after my carry-on bag was sorted out for an additional inspection, which took about 8 minutes due to Men's Disposable Cotton Boxer 20pk - No issue at all. Started to walk and enjoy the hallway scene beginning at 8:30 AM. Took a few photos for sharing. Tip: Enjoy the WESTIN CLUB LOUNGE at EVENING APPITISERS last night and BREAKFAS this morning, which is better than DELTA SKY CLUB in my opinion. Watch the video of the Club Lounge at this site for comparison with the SKY CLUB - See the fresh juice I had this morning at the WESTIN CLUB LOUNGE. In summary, boarding the Delta International flight at the Terminal 3 this morning is so smoothly - a 5-atar rating is warrantted! Also, thank Marriott Bonvoy Elite program to let me enjoy the Westin Club Lounge to mitigate the DELTA SKY CLUB I can't visit this morning with a few hot food, parfait, fruits, cuppucino, etc.

We made it to lax airport headed home and there was not a long line but the checkout process was horrible we went through tsa with an hour to spare but by the scanning process was long, slow, and ridiculously unorganized. My grand baby had a simple stroller and it took them 20 minutes to pass it to us. There was 23 of us and they searched each one of our carry one items, by the time we got to plane we had less than 15 minutes to board. Again there was 23 of us but nothing was really taken from our bags but a few necessities that were overlooked but to search each bag was outrageous. LAX get it together

I am flying in from MSP to lax on Friday night at 11pm via Delta arriving at terminal 3. I have a flight that leaves at 8am to Hawaii in the morning on Saturday. Do I need to go through security again since I am flying into and out of terminal 3?

No.

Departed via TBIT and I've gotta say that the process since a decade+ ago is now very streamlined…read more My wife and I had no problems whatsoever and the wait times weren't too long either. Albeit it wasn't peak/holiday season, TSA was quick, mobile check in, and all the signs are now easily viewable. There's many friendly agents that streamline the process along with many lines, find one that's shorter and the process is ultimately quick and efficient. Not long after, easily find our gate and the rest is up to you. The restrooms are clean and there's plenty of food and drink options. I'd suppose that some flights/airlines require physical boarding passes, so watch out for that. Can easily get that resolved via the agents at your respective gate. Traffic aside from before arriving to LAX, everything else was very smooth and efficient.

LAX. Los Angeles International Airport. Just that…read more.. With that being said, this is a huge airport hub so be prepared for the traffic getting in the airport, inside the airport and getting out of the airport. Whether its downstairs at Arrivals or upstairs at Departures, the traffic is just bad. There's rarely a time that I've been here that there's no traffic. Make sure you leave with enough time to park (if you are parking in the structure) or before your flight time departure. Traffic and TSA are long lines so plan accordingly. Today, I went to the Bradley International Terminal. Its at the far end of the airport so I had to go through the traffic of Terminals 1-3 to get there and Terminals 4-7 to get out. Be prepared for lots of stop and go and people cutting you off. Just drive safely and be aware of other drivers who aren't as careful as you. You've got this!

TERMINALLY BUSY Know…read morewhich terminal you're flying out of before you head to LAX. Terminal 6, which services Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Air Canada, is towards the end. Unless you take the short cut near Terminal 1, you're going to be crawling through five other terminals before you get to yours. Since Alaska is the primary airline, this hub is constantly bustling. Gates are small, and there's never enough seating as you get closer to take-off. Food options are okay, though the longest line is always the one at Starbucks. You'll have to hunt for your water bottle water filler, but it's there. One advantage of this active terminal is that you only have to drive by two others when you exit. Disadvantage? If you're taking a shuttle, sometimes they're full before they arrive. After a long flight, that is terminally disappointing!

This star doesn't accurately reflect my opinion, because I'd need a 0 star option for that…read more 1. No agents at the arriving flights terminal.... Couldn't find a single one. 2. When you do find one, they're clueless. It seems they're as confused about the horrible signage and directions around the airport as well. I had an agent tell me to stand next to "the green pillar" to wait for an uber.... But she pointed at a purple one.... Assuming she was colorblind, I looked for a green pillar. I found it. Called my uber, waited next to it. Turns out? You don't wait next to the pillars at all. You take them to the Ride app section and get picked up there. Not sure why that's so hard to articulate, "wait by that green pillar, and a shuttle will take you to where you wait for an uber" would've been a pretty damn simple direction, but again, the agents here are VERY confused.

I know people love to hate on LAX but honestly.. I've never had any trouble flying in/out of there…read more(hopefully no jinxing for 2026). On our last flight from LAX to JFK, we had a 12am flight and traveling with our 3mo old puppy and everything was easy breezy. We got to our parking (cheap) reservation on time, didn't wait too long for the shuttle and the agents for JetBlue were so helpful AND loved my puppy, made our night by taking pictures of/with him. There were lots of (clean) restrooms, quiet area, unfortunately all the restaurants were closed but otherwise, no problem flying out from LAX at all

Mixed thoughts about LAX T5. It's an easy to get thru if you're in gates 50 and above. And even…read moreeasier if you have TSA pre check. Never a terribly long line. When I know I'm flying out of this terminal, I don't think about getting to the airport early. Whereas if it was another terminal I absolutely would. Staff generally are annoyed but not as bad as JFK. They ain't winning awards for customer service but they do explain things pretty well. This time around I flew out of gate 52D. If you're in any of the 52 gates other than A or B, know that you need to get to the 52 gate and then you'll have to chat with a gate agent, scan your boarding pass, then take another bus to your gate. Thats how big LAX is. You need to jump on another 5 minute shuttle ride to get to your gate. The 52 gates aren't world class. It's pretty old. Probably just neglected since most of the flights here are regional / short distance flights. There's flights to Seattle, Bay Area, etc from here. Overall verdict - you could certainly do worse. But for how big it is, I think it's a pretty well oiled machine. And that in of itself earns a 3 star from me.

TERMINALLY BUSY…read more Thanks to Southwest and Jetblue, Terminal 1 at LAX is bustling. Expect a bottleneck outside this popular terminal due to so many drop-offs and pick-ups. If you take a shuttle, they have an exclusive lane that lets them navigate faster. TSA usually moves fast, but sometimes the lines are long. Mid-day, I waited less than 5 minutes. Pre-dawn, can be busy. Food options include Urth Caffe & Bar, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Chick-fil-A, and Rock & Brews. Restrooms tend to be clean, and there are water refill stations near them. Gates are often overflowing with people, so I'll find a quiet spot with a view as soon as I've reached the concourse. It's usually peaceful until someone inconsiderate puts their phone on speaker. Dude, NO ONE wants to listen to your nonsense. NO ONE. If only Southwest had a club lounge!

I'm really not a fan of LAX. It is highly congested with both foot and car traffic. Getting dropped…read moreoff is the way to go, but it is still hectic and drivers charge a premium. Driving here to pick up or drop off people is a nightmare and gives me anxiety every time. They have a newer section at the Tom Bradley International Terminal that makes you walk for 20 minutes to get to your gate. I called this area the Annex. Plan ahead if you're flying international because you never know if you may end up having a really far gate assigned to your flight.
