Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is preparing for a busy winter holiday travel season, expecting to serve over 3.2 million passengers from December 19 through January 2, 2025. Peak travel days are anticipated on December 21, 27, and 30, as well as January 2.

Doug Webster, Chief Operations and Maintenance Officer at Los Angeles World Airports, stated: “The holidays at LAX are always a busy time for everyone at the airport, but we are prepared and well-equipped to manage the surge in passengers and the travel rush." He added that enhancements like expanded terminals and streamlined security operations aim to ensure a smooth experience for travelers.

LAX has introduced various measures to accommodate increased demand. These include expanded dining options and new destinations. Travelers are advised to plan ahead by checking flight statuses before arriving at the airport. Real-time traffic and parking updates can be accessed via @FlyLAXstats on X (formerly Twitter).
