Today I have returned home via the magic of time travel. I boarded a plane at PVG around 1530 and disembarked at LAX at 1230 THE SAME DAY! Time travel! ooooooooooooooooooo
Seriously, it was on AA and the flight itself was OK. However, it will never be up to SQ standards. Like EVAR, And to top it off, like my last flight that landed here, we parked at Terminal 4, marched all the way to the TBIT for passport control and baggage recheck then had to march BACK to Terminal 4. To top it off, once you claim your bags, you leave the secure area which means no returning to the TBIT unless you’re willing to queue 45 minutes to clear security. The QF lounge is nice (probably the best lounge in the state) but not worth that.
LAX is probably the crappiest airport in the state.
