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.
