    I had a great experience flying into and out of Terminal 5 at LAX. I typically prefer those red eye flights for a better experience at the airport.

    I'll start by saying that I am biased as my favorite LAX terminal is #7. Flying out of terminal 5 sucks. You catch all the traffic if the airport and you can't escape it. I'd recommend parking at 7 which you can enter from a shortcut right as you enter the airport. Feels like a hack!

    Just another reason not to like LA... Very few eating choices in this terminal, and all of them are super expensive. I can't imagine if you are middle class person with a family of four coming here to go on a trip and you have to start it out by spending $150 to feed your family burgers and fries! You can do better than this LAX, this is LA for crying out effing loud, get some good restaurants in here !!! And if you can't get good restaurants in here, at least get a McDonald's or Burger King, a place that won't rip us off !

    Older terminal w rare charging stations, smelly musty old carpets, and the most obnoxious not open overnight Mexican restaurant called Loteria that blasted their music all morning from the time I was here for a long layover from 10pm to 8am. It's obnoxious bc not only did none of the airline customers not ask for it at all while people were trying to sleep in the worst airline chairs overnight (these are the standard old ones from over 15 years ago it seems with arm rests in between and almost no charging stations) but it's music they are enjoying blasting for themselves and their image and they didn't ask if anyone wants to listen to it. This should not be airline music for T5 bc that's what it became. I can understand quiet classical music that is soothing and neutral but this was too much and too loud. I have never been at an airport where a restaurant gets to blast their music overnight to torment customers before their flights. So the rating includes Loteria and Terminal 5 allowing this to happen. Very distasteful for a major international airport and hub for so many major airlines. I will avoid T5 as much as I can. I can handle the fact that money is not yet being put into renovating this terminal but I can't accept T5 allowing Loteria to keep their music on all night and at such a loud noise level.

    What an amazing flight. Highly recommend flying American Airlines. The staff and flight crew were excellent. The seats were comfortable and the complimentary snacks were delicious.

    Super easy to navigate and always bright and clean! I love they have a Rock n Brew and a great American Admirals lounge.

    Leaving on a jet plane... Lots of construction going on in LAX so expect delays aside from traffic. Limited staff on Sundays which is surprising; you'd think they were busier today. Had to take a bus to gate 52C. Grab snacks, food or coffee on the main gate. One small shop without a lot of options. No water refill station either at this gate. Can't wait for the construction to be finished and the train.

    I normally fly with American Airlines. The bulk of their flights are out of terminal 4, but some will be out of terminal 5. From time to time, I'll fly with JetBlue where their flights are out of terminal 5. There are several stores such as Magic Johnson Sports, I Love LA, FAO Schwarz, and Rip Curl to pick up some last minute souvenirs. When I want something to eat, I'll pick up a snack over at the Farmers Market.

    At American Airlines Terminal 5 for food the Farmer's Market is usually my go-to spot for a quick breakfast. They serve decent bagel, ham and cheese sandwiches or the same sandwich with an english muffin. There are a variety of sit down restaurants in Terminal 5, but the Farmer's Market seems to be the only one open at 5:00am. Expect a line when you go.

    Ask the Community - LAX Terminal 5

    Are we required to show the proof of vaccination card, before entering the airport?

    No, proof of vaccine is not required. I've flown domestic every week for the past few months and they never ask. Not sure about international, or Hawaii. They usually have their own protocols that don't always line up with domestic protocols..

    Can I take my dog to airport to wait for picking up someone?

    Yes, on a leash.

    Santa Monica Airport CA Tue 2/11/25 On my way! Back to…read moreSillyValley! Sun is rolling into sunset! Going home tonight! © Yes, SMO Municipal airport is slated to close in 2028! It's been a source of controversy for decades! Capping decades of legal battles & protests! One of the oldest in USA! Airport land converts into Park! Meanwhile they shortened the runway to limit jet flights! By the way, this is where Harrison Ford crash landed onto Golf Course instead of a runway! This general aviation airport, naturally long favorite of celebrities & biz heads, had its share of public scrutiny just like many other non commercial airports in California. Like my San Carlos Airport SQL or Palo Alto Airport PAO. Historic significance lays in the fact that famous DC-3 & military aircraft was produced by Douglas Aircraft Co in Santa Monica at the airport before it had moved to Long Beach. Famous tenants like Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise & Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with others, average daily 250 takeoffs & landings, that's a lot of noise! Neighbors in Santa Monica didn't want harmful exhaust, emissions, fueling, lead & carbon, pollution, and noise! At the same time, its use during WWII for military purposes had federal agreements for FAA to allow operations. So various aviation interests contended with the City of Santa Monica over its ownership. They reached the agreement after endless litigation to return the control of the airport land to the city. And at the end of 2028 the city is free to do what they want with 227 acres of airport land! *The one who should care Does she or doesn't So let the beat roll on I'm 'bout to get in the zone I been locked up all by myself But I'm known to grow my own I burn it till it's gone Like there ain't nothing wrong I'm just out in the shade Watching the world go up in flames [ Review #828 w 3 pic Feb 15, 2025 ] Here, can't complain! @Santa Monica Airport CA Thur 2/6/25 Going home tonight!

    Was in the neighborhood and was curious about the flight schools at the Santa Monica airport…read more Walked in and I felt immediately welcomed. Met with Oliver and Jorge and they gave me all of the information I needed to begin my journey into aviation. Prices are very reasonable and the school is going through lots of positive changes. I was also impressed with how many of the staff members are bilingual. 非常好 Great fleet of airplanes to learn from: Cirrus, Cessna, and SportCruisers. I am now looking forward to my introductory flight with the school and will definitely be considering getting my Private Pilot License with them! 谢谢SMF 加油 Muy Bien Adios
