Los Angeles International Airport Destinations Map
Gallery and Facts
Commonly known as LAX, Los Angeles International Airport is 16 miles (27km) to the southwest of LA city center, and before September 11th 2001, it used to be the 3rd most busy airport in the world. LAX is also the airport with more non-stop flights than any other airport. Los Angeles International Airport is one of the best places for aircraft spotters to see commercial planes, especially from “Clutter’s Park” (also known as “Imperial Hill”), located at the South, always full of press photographers and aviation enthusiasts.
Before being occupied by an airport, the land where the LAX is now used to be a Mexican Rancho. During the 1920s, it started to attract many aviators who used a small portion of this property as a makeshift landing strip, but it wasn’t until 1928 when it officially became Los Angeles International Airport.

Reviews
Los Angeles International Airport Reviews (14)
It’s good and I love traveling on Los Angeles international
I enjoyed the experience.
Lax - Poor Operation
1: very dirty bathrooms as always 2: confused staff who can’t communicate with other departments effectively and can’t communicate with passengers 3: staff yelling at passengers 4: bad attitude 5: only thing good is the WIFI, chairs and weather
My Advice
Big runway’s easy to land with my Boeing 737-800. But pretty busy. 3 stars out of 5: 1st Star: too busy 2nd Star: big 3rd Star: long runway’s for good high speed take-offs and landings
Gone Too Far
For one the security thing is a total invasion of privacy. It’s disgusting and I get checking shoes and doing a light pat but if they can see through your clothes. Why can’t they have a machine to look through your luggage without touching your personal items. It’s gross take the precautions where terrorists aren’t an issue but make sure not to invade others’ privacy. For example, do you really need to search a five year old or a pregnant woman?
Dreadful
LA is a very bad airport to be flying into, especially from overseas. Its security levels are way way too high. Don’t get me wrong LA is one of the best built airports in the world but it’s got to take it easy on security and work harder on getting planes and passengers in and out of the airport in time. LA scrapes in at 2 stars for me.
Fantastic Airport
This is a very fine airport and provides a good security to tourists.
Awful Delays!
I have flown into LAX a number of times over the last 30 odd years. Generally not too bad – but my last visit – Sept 2007 – was DREADFUL! Worst problem was immigration which, even on a weekday evening was a TOTAL MESS. Had to wait for over 2.25 hours to get through – not because of any problem with my admission, but just because of bad organisation. Also as a Brit – a trusted ally – I resent being treated like a criminal and made to give fingerprints, photo, etc, before I could enter. Americans would go crazy if asked to do that to get into Britain, I am sure! Avoid LAX if you can!
Horrible
I lived in LA for 15 years and avoided LAX at all possible if I could. I moved to Houston 9 years ago and I went back to LA for the first time in 5 years and the airport still looks the same as it did before. Only difference is that they added huge letters to the Century Blvd entrance and that’s basically it. It’s old and gritty and reminds me of a warehouse. Try Long Beach, Ontario or Burbank if you can.
Embarrassment To The USA
For the past 3 years I have been flying internationally into and out of LAX. I am not a US citizen but if I were I would be embarrassed that the first impression of my country was LAX. I have flown all over the world and apart from a few airports in West Africa I can safely say this is the worst airport I have been in.
Horrible Airport
My husband and I went to attend the wedding of some dear friends of ours in Santa Barbara, CA. We were also celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. So we decided to fly into LAX and drive down the coast to Santa Barbara. I must say, that of all of the airports I have been in (both domestic and international), LAX has to be the WORST. It’s dirty, extremely disorganized, and not what one would call an "up-to-date" style airport. Furthermore, the people are RUDE. I’ve never been in an airport where the airline employees were so nasty. Not only were the airline employees nasty, but so were the employees of HERTZ Rent-A-Car. As much as I love LA, Santa Barbara, and Santa Monica, I will NOT fly into LAX again. One would think that for an airport that caters to both domestic and international air traffic – plans would be made to expand and update it to make it more appealing to travelers. If any plans are ever made to expand/update LAX…on item airport personnel might want to consider is to hire friendlier/more accommodating employees.
Terrible Place
LAX is a depressing place. It is old, dirty and messy. Arrivals is OK, but departures from Tom Bradley International Terminal is an experience to avoid. Check-in lines were short, but after check-in you have to wait in line to hand over your checked baggage to security personnel. This was a 1-hour line with poor information and ensuing chaos. After that, the security checkpoint – another 30-minute line. You would think that you could then relax, perhaps get a drink or something to eat, but there is a peculiar lack of facilities after clearing security. Perhaps they know that once through security, you are so late that your flight is already closing…
Not Impress At All
Arriving to LAX was easy to get around. The airport looks old. It’s huge. I have no complain about the baggage claims. The waiting area for the shuttle is a bit crowded. Once I had a connection flight from San Francisco (SFO) to New Orleans (MSY) and I had to change the flight to another terminal. The information boards did not help me at all. I had to wonder around the terminal to find a way until I decided to ask one of the officer. She told me that I had to wait for shuttle to get to another terminal. The officer was really helpful on giving the direction for the shuttle area. The inter terminal bus was fast and very frequent. I wish that they could have a sign on how to get to another terminal instead of guessing around to find a way by yourself.
When I landed at Toronto Airport in Canada in May 2023.
I saw the airport from inside and outside with full attention and found it very beautiful and beautiful.
Every problem of the passengers has been taken into consideration.
I didn’t see anything that I found fault with.
I was thinking that there will be any more beautiful airport in the world?
But I heard LA (USA) airport is very nice.
I have a longing and desire in my heart to see him.
I will definitely go see.
