LAX Terminal 5

Delta Terminal is pretty good. It got a few restaurants and a nice coffee shop. Nothing special and can use a great upgrade. Phone and laptop charging stations would be much appreciated. They spend so much money on everything else, why can’t Delta fix up the terminal and make it more inviting to tech driven personnel.

The terminal itself is pretty nice with good food options, but getting here sucked. Not only is it waaaay away from everything else, but the sign at maybe chest level (while you’re looking up like you do in every other airport) pointing to this entryway is easily missed. I was leaving one Delta flight connecting to another as I walked past this sign two or three times trying to figure out where my gate was (there was a gap in gate numbers that I couldn’t figure out). Once I finally saw the sign, it was a looooong walk down an underground hallway to this terminal. When you finally arrive you find yourself in a sparkling terminal with nice facilities and 4 nice fairly large restaurants to refresh yourself and pass anytime that may remain following your lengthy journey. I chose Lemonade, which is discussed in a separate review.

taxi cabs really dont give a shit about how they drive.

Nice terminal, but nothing amazing. It does look recently renovated (so why aren’t there more places to plug in my computer. It also has free wifi that seems to work fairly well
Its food options all seem a bit overpriced. On the up side there were lots of choices.
I wasn’t a fan, but I wouldn’t avoid it either.

LAX is your standard international airport, but the place is clean and the traffic was not horrendous and as an added bonus I was able to find a great parking spot. This trip I was in and out with little hassle.

Nobody in their right mind would actually be a fan of LAX, but relatively speaking, terminal 5 is pretty good. There’s a Lemonade here, so at least you’d get some decent food while waiting.

Eh… I mean honestly this is one of the worst airport terminals. To be honest I don’t think really any terminals in LAX are very good, but this one is always crowded and there are very limited restaurants and shops. Finding charging can be pretty challenging too. It isn’t very big, so I guess that is nice if your gate is at the end. But really just the lack of quality food is my biggest beef. Or I guess the lack of beef?
There is a bar area and a skewer grill restaurant that isn’t too bad, but pricy.
Overall I mean, you can’t really choose what terminal you will fly in or out of. but this is nowhere I want to spend time.

Worst. Terminal. Airport. Layover. Anything. If I had to say which is the worst airport in this country I would list this one way at the top of the list. And it’s not just because I really dislike LA. I’ve gotten a ticket while picking up a friend from baggage claim here who was 50 feet away from my car and walking towards me, sweated like no other because their air conditioning probably needs to be looked at (hint — change the filters!), and had the longest delays of any airport I’ve been to (and this includes the Midwest in winter and Michigan during summer thunderstorms!) I avoid LAX like the plague and so should everyone else! It is the absolute pits.

I was impressed by the food selection at Terminal 5 at LAX. They have a Lemonade, Ford’s Filling Station (Harrison Ford’s son’s restaurant), a Lotteria and a few other good locations. We ate at Rock & Brews, which was quick, offered a great drink menu and had gluten-​free food options. There’s «complementary» wi-​fi in the terminal, but it’s slower than slow (you get what you pay for). They recently renovated the terminal, so it’s definitely a step-​up from the old LAX. Prices are airport expensive, but that’s to be expected. Getting through security was pretty quick — about 10 minutes on a Monday afternoon — but get here early just in case!

Under serious construction. The gate had about ¹⁄₃ the aircraft passenger seating capacity? The overall size of the terminal seems too small no matter how much money the spend on it. Hopefully this place will be up to par after the extensive renovation? Time will tell?

I give it 3 because there are lights and running water and I eventually found a seat but it is Not Salt lake city.
Security wasn’t too bad but the terminal is… Limited.
There are no water bottle fillers, you must scavenge water from the erratic bubblers (that’s water fountain if you’re not from MA) and its truly crowded in here.
Limited food options, limited seating, Duke it out for a charging station. Couldn’t connect to Wifi. One crappy coffee chain? Must have missed it.
Is it Delta? Is it LAX? Is it this terminal? I don’t know but I’ll hope to avoid it in the future. We usually fly SWA so I’ll have a look at the neighbouring option.
My paranoia suspects that this is a reflection of Delta’s «pay for better treatment» class mentality. You can get palatial accommodations and feel like royalty if you go to the Club. Or you can go cattle car with the rest. Another reason I usually fly SWA.(such a Commie.)

I have found the bottom. The bottom of the airport pile. The worst customer set up. The worst food choices. The worst prices.
They limit the good choices, and toucan only get to terminal 6 from 5. That’s it. The prices are sky high. 12 dollars for a small sub wrapped in plastic really?
Avoid this airport if you can.
Even the newsstand as are gouging. This is a crime to the traveler. Their is not enough seating in this terminal. Let alone business stations.
And way to few bathrooms. Every time you get in line. This is travesty.
