Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has issued travel recommendations for the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, advising passengers to arrive two hours early for domestic flights and three hours early for international flights. This announcement was made via a post on X.

According to LAX Airport’s official X post, travelers are urged to "arrive early (2 hrs domestic, 3 intl)" due to anticipated high passenger volume and heavy congestion. The post emphasizes that early arrival will allow sufficient time for check-in, security screening, and navigating terminal crowds, which are expected to increase significantly during the summer holiday period. This recommendation aligns with advice from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), as reported by USA Today, which notes that airports across the country are experiencing some of the highest passenger numbers since before the pandemic.

The announcement also encourages travelers to pre-book parking using promo code "USA25," offering a discount for advance parking reservations at LAX. According to the official LAX travel tips page, reserving parking online secures a spot in high-demand lots and avoids the stress of searching for last-minute parking during holiday surges. LAX reports that pre-booked parking can be up to 60% cheaper than drive-up rates, with promo codes providing additional savings.

LAX Airport’s post further advises travelers to take Metro to LAX via the new LAX/Metro Transit Center. According to Los Angeles World Airports, this center offers a direct link between the airport and the city’s growing public transit network. It connects Metro’s K and C lines to LAX and provides free shuttle service to all terminals, reducing dependence on cars and easing airport congestion. The post also promotes a 20% concession discount available through LAXOrderNow.com with code "LAXSUMMER25," making digital ordering and public transit attractive options for travelers during the holiday rush.

According to Los Angeles World Airports, LAX is the main international gateway to Southern California and ranks among the world’s busiest airports, handling more than 75 million passengers annually. The airport consists of nine terminals and is undergoing a $30 billion modernization project aimed at improving capacity and passenger experience through new transit links and terminal upgrades. These ongoing improvements are designed to position LAX as a leader in innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in global air travel.
