Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Before I arrived into LAX, I had read countless bad reviews about the place, and was preparing for the worst! It is famous for being small and unimpressive, and whilst of the criticism is probably well justified, I have to say it wasn't as bad as I had imagined. The following review is based on my experience as both an inbound and outbound passenger, and I hope it proves useful to the budding california traveller. The best advise I can give from the forefront is that the place really is not a nightmare, it is not horrific, and alsong as you don't expect one of the world's finest airports, you probably won't be too disappointed. Having said that, I do not pass through LAX ...  Read the complete review

Well the only advantage of this airport is that its near Los Angeles, and has many destinations available across the world to travel. LAX Staff - Rather rude in general and massive conjestion in a normality here - Dont really care about anything other than when their shift finishes - In departures i found no one was even at the information desks Check in Although i went with a really good airline, (Air New Zealand) (see review please on the airline) they are only as good as the airport system. You check in then they way your luggage, then you have to take it miles just to drop it off. You give it to a very depressed person who ...  Read the complete review

Los Angeles Airport, otherwise referred to as LAX is certainly an experience. For a major airport serving one of the busiest cities in the world it is far behind the times. On arriving at LAX, it took a while to walk to collect our luggage. But by the time we got there we could have stopped for a coffee for it took so long for our bags to reach the conveyor belt! However, once we collected our bags it was easy to find our way to our bus stop. As we were on a round the world trip we used LAX to leave LA and head to our next destination. Here we were left more disappointed. The place was busy and cramped with long windy queues to check in and then up some stairs to ...  Read the complete review

Lax international airport is big and very busy. It is divided into different terminals for many international flights. Do not get off at the wrong ones, it will take you forever to walk. Upon leaving: the way to Lax is always crowded. Traffic jams is a usual in that area. Getting out of the freeway on the way to get gas is not such a good idea. Because it is all downtown Los Angeles. Not too safe at night. So be sure you have a full tank of gas and be prepared about the traffic time before you leave. There are parking structures across each terminal. It is advisable for one to park at the correct building to avoid long walks. Rental cars ...  Read the complete review

It is no surprise that Los Angeles International airport is regularly voted one the worst airports in the world. Old, over-crowded and so noisy you can’t hear yourself think. We arrived at Los Angeles airport (LAX) to be greeted by complete chaos just like the other 400 people off the same flight, and there is not much to be said about the place other than constant nightmares! We arrived on a Virgin Atlantic flight, who use the crumbling and ‘compact’ terminal 2 which I was later told one of the nicer terminals, (poor people who have to use the others) and were met with the longest queue for immigration Ive ever seen. Basically, one Virgin ...  Read the complete review
