The rest of my experience at LAX was fine, I did not have extensive layovers at the airport either on the trip to Kauai or the trip home from Kauai. The LAX staff I encountered were all professional. I got some fresh air outside at LAX, and returned through security, helping a man behind me who had several toddlers and several bins, and that's where i lost my driver's license! Despite calling LAX security and lost and found numerous times, I never got my driver's license back. This was in the "old days" and on arrival at Kauai, I went to the rental car place and my county courthouse in Madison County Alabama faxed some documentation to the rental car company in Kauai and fortunately I was able to get a rental car that way!

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.

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.

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!
