Recommendations After Arriving at Los Angeles Airport (LAX) 

1. Carry-On Luggage

   Make sure not to forget your belongings on the plane. Many passengers recommend doing a quick check before disembarking to avoid losing personal items, especially electronic devices or important documents.

2. Connecting Flights

   If you are waiting for a connecting flight, keep the following in mind: 
   
   - For domestic flights, you must collect your checked luggage and go through immigration if arriving from another country. 
   
   - If your final destination is outside the United States, you generally do not need to collect checked luggage. Passengers note that some cafes and services are available 24 hours, which is useful for those with long layovers or flights at inconvenient times. Check how to move between terminals.

3. Checked Luggage

   If LAX is your final destination, head to the baggage claim area and locate the carousel assigned to your flight. Keep in mind that several flights may share the same carousel. If your luggage does not arrive, seek assistance at your airline's counter or ask airport staff for help.

4. Immigration

   Follow the signs to the immigration checkpoint. 
   
   - If you are a foreigner, prepare to present your passport, visa (if applicable), accommodation address, and potential reservations. 
   
   - Some passengers note that lines can be long, but the process is usually efficient if all your documents are in order. Only answer the questions asked to streamline the experience.

5. Picking Up Passengers

   Passengers can be picked up at the lower-level arrivals area, just outside the baggage claim area. 
   
   - Use the LAX Cell Phone Waiting Lot, a free space where motorists can wait until passengers call to indicate they are ready to be picked up. 
   
   - If picking someone up at Terminal B (Tom Bradley International), use the pickup area located on the lower level of Parking Structure 3, also free of charge.

6. Public Arrivals Area

   Upon arriving at the public area, if you hired a private driver, they will usually have a sign with your name. Avoid using unauthorized taxis offered by strangers. Recommended transportation options include: 
   
   - Door-to-door transportation 
   - Scheduled transfers 
   - FlyAway Bus 
   - Public transportation 
   - Taxis, Opoli, Uber, and Lyft 
   - Car rental
