Editorial Review for Los Angeles International Airport – by Lee Parker

In Short
Despite being the third busiest airport in the world, LAX is fairly easy to navigate. Laid out in a giant U-shape, it houses 79 different airlines in eight domestic terminals, with the sleek Bradley International Terminal nestled in the bend. The one-way, lower-level roadway through the U-shaped area is for arrivals; departures are on the upper route. Security concerns permitting, some airlines offer curbside check in, and parking is available in on- and off-site lots.

Considering this is one of the busiest airports in the country, I’m surprised at how few problems I’ve had at LAX. It’s pretty easy to figure out the loop around the airport coming to drop off or pick up friends, and traffic moves through at a pretty steady rate. When I’m flying out myself, I think they do a good job getting people through security in a timely manner. Plus, I like that all the airlines have their own terminals. This airport definitely isn’t as unorganized as other ones I’ve been through, namely Dulles International outside of Washington D.C.

The Los Angeles International Airport, or LAX for short, is my second favorite airport in the country. I love the U-shaped approach lanes with the skip to Terminal 7 for the hurried. Parking nearby is convenient. And the lines always seem to be short and move fast as compared to other airports. The terminals are a little on the drab side but spacious and clean. Baggage claim is close to the plane exits. All in all, its easy to get IN, get OUT. That's why I like it.
