Talk:Los Angeles International Airport

Noise lawsuits
There used to be residential neighborhoods right up to the property line, on the north side. After a lawsuit, in (I believe) the 1960s or 1970s, the houses were bought up and the homes razed, forming a noise buffer zone. It looks bizarre to see the remaining streets, sidewalks, trees, and streetlamps with no homes! Maybe it is still that way; I haven't flown out of LAX since 1992, though. Hi

Terminals 4 and 7
I screwed up when editing those two sections. Anything to fix that?

phonetic sounding of initials
when we say that it is LAX, pronounced ELL 'AY 'EX, 'could' there be some parenthetical thingy that says the bleeding obvious to the obviously thuck as a bruck, where it is is explained ? Not as in laxitive, as in L A X. d'dur .....

How the hell is this vandalism?
I put that african destinations were not included in the maps of the world, to inform users, not to vandalize. Why does it keep getting reverted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.172.212.47 (talk) 17:43, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Usefulness of this photo


Can anyone actually see LAX in this photo - apparently it is left centre and I know LA reasonably well and I can't really see it. I suspect this was originally put in in the erroneous view that the bottom left lighted area was the airport - but this is the LA port at longbeach as stated in a couple of edits ago and in the actual photo description. I think the kindest thing to do with this photo is to remove it entirely. Andrewgprout (talk) 01:24, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

"The 'X' in LAX" section
But where does the "X" come from or what does it stand for? 2600:8800:785:9400:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 02:14, 25 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I feel like the section in the article is pretty clear that it doesn't stand for anything. They needed another letter to fill out a three-letter abbreviation. Probably used it because it could serve as a placeholder in a formula. --Jfruh (talk) 01:09, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Tom Bradley
Can you tell me why Aer Lingus, Aeromexico, Aeromexico Connect, Air Canada, Alaska Airlines' international flights, American Airlines' international flights, American Eagle's international flights, Avianca, Avianca Costa Rica, Avianca San Salvador, Copa Airlines, Delta Air Lines' international flights, Delta Connection's international flights, Dynamic Airways, Hainan Airlines, Interjet, Qatar Airways, Southwest Airlines' international flights, United Airlines' international flights, United Express's international flights, Virgin America's international flights, Virgin Atlantic, Volaris, and Westjet are located at other terminals instead of the Tom Bradley International Terminal and why ATA's international flights, Eastern Airlines' international flights, Northwest Airlines' international flights, Pacific Southwest Airlines' international flights, Pan American World Airways' international flights, TACA International Airlines, Trans World Airlines' international flights, and Western Air Lines' international flights were located at other terminals instead of the Tom Bradley International Terminal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clrichey (talk • contribs) 00:35, 29 November 2021 (UTC)


 * The name of the terminal is somewhat misleading; the other terminals all predate it, and many have their own customs facilities to receive international flights. For airlines that have a big presence in the airport, like United or American, they'd rather have their international flights come into the same terminal as their domestic flights to make it easier for passengers to transfer from one to the other. Most of the airlines that have international service out of the Tom Bradley terminal are non-US carriers whose only flights into our out of LAX are international and often only have a few flights a week. (Some entirely domestic routes go into and out of Tom Bradley too!) Jfruh (talk) 01:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
