Short layover time in LA............

[jtaylo69]

Ok, since I have done this as a routine every timeI have gone to china, I just couldn't resist.

 

As most of the folks that has answered your thread are right, I thought I would add a few things.

 

If you are flying on Delta and plan on changing over to China Southern, like the rest of them said, you should have no wories other than retrieving your baggage, should you need to. The only time you will go through security is whan you leave the terminal area in search for food. (If you need a smoke, walk straight out past security, walk around the escaltors to go out the doors that lead to the pedestrian bridge. There you can light up all that your hearts desire)

 

Just remember, you will have to go through security again in which it apears that its heaviest times are 7pm - 8:30, 9:15 - 10pm, 10:10 - 11:45. If you get caught up in this heard of cattle, you can easily expect a 30 to 40 min wait just to get back into the terminal.

 

If you are in need of changing your money over, May I suggest to do it through your bank, as the people at the kiosk on the right just as you walk into Term 5 are not very dependable (They come and go like a fart in church) & then their rates suck Big time.

 

In this term, your choices of selection for food is Pizza, McDonalds, sushi, one or 2 burger joints, and a couple of small convienent store types with very limited selections and on of those liquar & smoke stores.

 

After passing these, you will come to the Gate areas. Normally, Chian southern will depart out of any of the last 3 gates on the right side of the terminal.

 

Below is a small map of LAX and a few number that you may find helpful.

 

Hope this helps;)

Plan to spend the night in LA.

 

It's still the rainy season in China so there

is a good chance you outbound flight will be

delayed.

 

You should plan for a 3-4 hour buffer.
