Guys despite a few valid arguments posted in this thread, most are just pure venting on your behalf. LAX might be the 4th busiest airport (aircraft movements) in the world but it is still one of the easiest to operate into (like most other USA destinations - yeah, the yanks got it right!). Now stop your whining and get over it. It's not rocket science. Oh and by the way, for those of you who are going there for the first time - oh look, it's in the OM-C. Imagine that! Spoon fed... come on boys (and girls), find something real to whine about.
