Have you been to LAX since 1984? The terminals are rather dreary and invariably overcrowded and noisy...the baggage carousel areas have all the warmth and charm of a welfare office without the plush ameneties...the bathrooms are invariably filthy, graffitti-strewn and often knife-scarred..even beyond "security". There's a few nice areas but on the whole, especially if you've ever ben to Dallas or other major airports in the U.S., LAX is a second-rate airport with poor access, wretched public transport links and shoddy maintenance.
