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.
