Tips from LAX for smooth travels during July Fourth holiday

Airports

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is preparing for a busy July Fourth travel period, with high passenger numbers expected through July 8. Doug Webster, Interim Chief Operations and Maintenance Officer at Los Angeles World Airports, noted, "With the July Fourth travel period already bustling, we will see continued high passenger numbers at LAX through July 8. Looking ahead, domestic travel remains steady leading into the fall, and international travel continues to grow, with notable increases in travel to Canada and Central and South America."

In response to anticipated higher traffic throughout the summer, LAX has provided practical tips for travelers to ensure a smooth journey.

Travelers are advised to plan ahead by checking flight statuses before arriving at the airport and utilizing online check-in options if available. Those meeting someone at the airport should verify the flight status and arrival terminal beforehand. Real-time traffic and parking information can be accessed via the automated @FlyLAXstats X feed.
