LAX Airport

Hi, I am planning to fly into LAX with my 3 daughters (youngest is 19 mo) in the next few weeks. I will probably have 7 suitcases, and it will be tricky to get my luggage, get through customs and recheck it all. I see there is something called 'Skycaps' of which I am not familiar. Can I expect help in this situation, and from whom? Or should I make other plans to get all my luggage in (ie freight)?

Thanks

Hi was wondering if you could shed some light on the booking website Car Rentals 8 i have read some bad reports about scamming. Any information would be great. Thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know of any luggage storage places in or around the airport?
Or has anyone had any reviews on laxluaggage.com?

Thanks

Hi, Does anyone know where China Airlines is??

I'm arriving at terminal 1 tomorrow and catching a flight from terminal2. Can someone give me directions? Thanks

We are looking to book a flight on Southwest from Tucson to LAX and then going onto to Manila, Phillipines on Phillipine Air. We are wondering how much time we need to allow for the connection at LAX both on inbound and outbound--we found tickets that would work but the LAX time for the returning connections (arriving from Manila into LAX and then getting over to SW airlines) is 1 hour 45 minutes and we are wondering if that will be enough time--the ticket is for a 79 year old man--who is in pretty good health but couldn't do any "sprints!" thru the airport.

I was wondering how easy it is to go through united's security? I usually fly southwest and it's a breeze getting checked in and through security. Is it the same for each airline? Do they each have their own security check point?

Hi i'll be in LAX tom for my flight tomorrow and i'll be bringing 2 laptops and 1 hand-carry. will it be possible that I may have to surrender one of my laptops?

Parked around 5:30 am Oct. 30, 2011. Left around 8:30 am same day. Attendant took my ticket and said 8.00. Gave him a $20 and he gave me $9.00 change. After checking, I was overcharged and didn't receive the correct change. I asked him about the change and he yelled, I gave you your change!

Of course you are in a line and don't want to hold up other cars. The attendant was black, heavy, had hard time even reaching for my ticket and had a bad eye. I felt bad because he could have been disabled and lucky to have a job.

Later I got angry because I felt ripped off and since there is nobody to report him to on site, he could be making a little extra money on the side. I am sorry if he is handicapped, but I thought you should know if he is not able to make the correct change or if he is dishonest. As a senior citizen, I can use all my change.

if someone is detained by customs in lax where will they be sent to what jail?

My boyfriend is arriving back home at LAX the day before I do and would like to retrieve my car from the off-site parking to drive himself home with (and then pick me up the next day!). Where can I leave the key for him at the airport?
Thanks!

Lost a red folder holding two certificates from Industrial Hygiene Class. Left in seat back on US Airways flight 1437, from Charlotee, in 6C, on Friday, September 16 at 8:30 pm. I went to lost luggage and the employee said he went to the plane and could not find it. I know it was there. It was slightly wedged under the tray. He was gone some time and longer than it should have taken. I am doubting he actually went and looked. If you happened to find it please contact me. Thanks. BTW: I hope to never fly US Airways again. Not a feel good experience. I used to only fly this airline and after the merger with American West service got bad. Want more info? Contact me about the flight attendants.

How long does it generally take to clear customs at 7am on a weekday

I travel to china quite frequently for work. Last month going through customs the guy asked for my drivers license in addition to my passport, found this odd in an uncomfortable way, told him I only travel with my passport, as my DL in china is obsolete, duh! He made me pull out everything in my wallet and says why do you have so many credit cards, I said I have 3, Amex, mc, visa because when you travel some countries only accept certain cards, he looked at me like I was nuts. Then I was thinking after he let me through, he was good looking, not my type, mind you I looked like a hot mess in my eyes, why the hell would he need my license, is he planning to stalk me, truly made me uncomfortable. Is this standard to ask someone for their DL and credit cards...... Wtf? Traveled everywhere for the past 10 years and never was asked for this. Anyone know why? Thoughts?

I was at LAX today and observed a young girl emptying the entire contents of her suitcase into a trash can. As it turns out she did not have enough money to be able to pay for her luggage so she threw away all her belongings in the suitcase. 4-5 security people stood and watched this while the young girl sobbed and they did nothing. They offered no assistance or advise. After all her clothes, shoes etc were thrown away and she started to make her way to her gate via security, a security official instructed someone to have a janitor come empty the trash so nothing could come back on them. My sisters and I paid for her luggage and some nice gentleman who had been observing as well helped us take her clothes back out of the trash and put back in her suitcase. I want to know who the hell I can contact in regards to this pathetic behavior on the part of airport security

Hi all.
I arrive at TBIT at 4:40 PM and i am supposed to have a connecting plane at T7 (United) at 7:25 PM. Do you think i have a chance ... I think it can be a little short...

Hi, I was travelling from LAX to Sydney on V Australia on Monday, July 25th, terminal 34. I left a pair of leather, orange flat sandals in the terminal bathroom area. If found please let me know or does anyone know another way to contact the airport for lost items? Thanks.

I'm flying from Pittsburgh to Sydney. I'll be arriving at LAX with an hour and a half to get through customs, I imagine grab my bag and get it rechecked, and get from terminal 7 to B. Keep in mind I'll be arriving at 9pm to LAX so it's off peak hours I believe. Is it dooable?

I read on the LAX website that if you arrive into TBIT that you do not need to exit and reenter security if your connecting flight is in terminal 1,2 or 3? Can anyone confirm this?

I arrive into TBIT from MEX at 6:15pm and have 1.5 hours before my connecting flight leaves from terminal 1. No checked bags, just a carry on and I'll print my boarding pass for the connecting flight in advance. Think I'll make it?

Is there a pharmacy at lax?

I am arriving with Air Canada from Vancouver into terminal 8 and need to go through customs before departing from terminal 4 on Qantas for Australia ... how much time does it take between terminals? Will I have enough time if there is two hours 40 minutes between flights? thanks.

Does everybody have to claim their baggage first, or can you check it through (from Tahiti to Toronto)? My flights are on a Sunday after Labor Day. Thanks

Is there a western union agent at LAX?

Hello. My name is Pasin from Thailand. My passport number is R-731464. I travelled from Los Angeles to Bangkok on 1 June 2011 with TG-795. I forgot a SONY VAIO green laptop computer at the security check point. It is in the pink soft case. I called TSA lost and found many times and left the message to the answering machine. However, there was no response from them. Could you please do me a favor passing this message to the right person to contact me and advise how to get it back. The laptop contains a lot of significant information about my education. So, I really need it. You can also contact my mum by "soodkanueng.m@thaiairways.com". My cell phone number is +66858102500, and +66819276401 is my mum's. I'm grateful to your help. Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Pasin M.

Hi, I Left a Black I phone 3 on Flight VA 11 on the 8th of March 2011, which was flying from Sydney, the flight got in to LAX at 8.45 am. is there and chance you have it?? Thank You!

I will be arriving in terminal 3 and departing out of terminal 4. Is there a way to get to terminal 4 without going out of security and back in?

Travelling LAX to BNA mid day Sun 17th Southwest Terminal. Security line diverted to auxilliary screening area to handle the volume. I have hip replacements which set off metal detectors. Upon reaching the head of the line, I saw no body scanners. Did I have an option to ask not to go thru the metal detectors? If so, did I have a right to ask to be taken at the front of the line in the area in which the scanners were? It wouldn't be much of a choice if I had to go to the end of the line stretching out the building and down the sidewalk for several hundred feet as I would risk missing my flight. Instead, I endured an "enhanced body search". I promise, you want to avoid these if possible. Anybody with a similar experience or advice?

If I am arriving at LAX via allegiant and flying out via frontier and i have already checked in in advance can i just go to the frontier gate or do i have to go through security? My flight comes in 20 minutes before i need to be on the next one. How far is it from the allegiant gate to the frontier gate? Thanks so much!!

Hi,
My parents are visiting USA and arriving at LAX on a Monday at 6:55pm. I understand that they need to get their luggage and go through customs before they can go check in for their domestic flight out of LAX to ABQ. The problem is, I was wondering if there would be sufficient time to get their luggage and go through customs within one hour? Their domestic flight from LAX to ABQ requires them to check in latest by 7:55pm. And this is not a connecting flight.

I would really appreciate any input I can get in regards to this matter.

Thanks.

Arrive LAX from Mexico with about two hours to connect with a European flight with a different carrier. Do I have to clear US customs first? Is there anything I can do to expedite?
