Is there a worse airport than LAX?

It takes longer to get in and out of that airport than it does to just fly to SNA and drive farther even in LA traffic. It’s also poorly designed and really hot

Atlanta. especially if you’re not flying Delta. there’s one main security checkpoint i.e. bottleneck. you have to walk forever or take the dumb train if you’re not flying Delta because those gates are furthest from the only checkpoint

That’s like Dulles... except no airlines are immune

I live in Santa Monica and fly out of it regularly. Once you get to the terminal, it’s not that bad, which is more of a dig on LA traffic than it is on LAX

Really depends on the time of day you fly. The morning schedule is cake, but getting to LAX after a day of meeting or for a redeye is really disastrous.

honestly LAX is not bad except for traffic for about the last mile near the airport

LGA by a long shot. On Wednesday it took me an hour to get from the gate to my car. Then nearly another hour to get car out of airport. On top the flight was 2 hours late because lga.

As someone from LA I honestly don’t think it’s that bad other than traffic which is a given. But I guess I’ve never had to transfer terminals there or anything.

C2 how is your arrival and pick up on Thur or any evening ? Ever have to take a red eye? That what people hate about it. I tend to agree with you at off times though

Is the traffic getting into LGA worse then the traffic trying to takeoff???

That’s a good point C1 I’ve never been more than number 4 for take off at LAX whereas at LGA I was once number 27

Ewr is my pain. Least with lax you usually don’t have to deal with weather issues unlike ord, Dfw and ewr.

Funny. I fly in and out of LAX and drive to OC. As bad as LAX is, it’s still better than connecting to SNA.

For those who have started traveling again... I recently started flying for work and am noticing increased discrimination on Delta Airlines. As a brown person have experienced that in the past, but lately it’s blatant. I’m a diamond and a million miler however, I see more and more out of turn upgrades. Have you experienced and what dis you do about it?
