“Memorial Day weekend always marks the start of the summer travel season at LAX," stated Doug Webster, Interim Chief Operations and Maintenance Officer at Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA).

LAX anticipates a rise in passenger and vehicle traffic this month and throughout summer. The airport offers several tips for travelers to reduce stress, enhance their journey, and ensure a smooth start to their summer travels.
