Are you traveling through LAX any time soon? Then, check out these tips.

Airport Survival Guide: 12 Tips To Get Through LAX Quickly & Easily | The Early Air Way

With nine different terminals, parking located far-away and security lines that seem to stretch forever, LAX, or Los Angeles International Airport, can be a nightmare for many travelers.

LAX is the 6th busiest airport in the world. More than 74 million passengers a year travel through LAX, according to the City of Los Angeles. Moreover, the number of passengers just keeps increasing as well.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the number of passengers flying through LAX is projected to increase to 100 million travelers by the year 2040.

In spite of the increasing number of passengers at LAX, the airport has not changed much in 30 years. The aging infrastructure is not really designed to accommodate the number of passengers that fly through LAX. The airport is currently undergoing $14 billion renovations to address this problem and modernize the airport.

This is great for future flights, but for now, this means big crowds and big headaches for travelers.

Fortunately, there are some secret travel tips from LAX insiders that can help you breeze through the airport with ease.

Here are 12 of the best tips for travel through LAX.

 

#1 Plan to Arrive Really Early

Due to the ongoing construction at LAX, plan to arrive really early for your flight.

It is best to arrive at least 90 minutes for domestic flights and 120 minutes for international.

If you are traveling between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM or 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM, plan to arrive 120 minutes early for both domestic and international flights.

 

#2 Pack the Right Way

Do not stuff your bag so full that you have to sit on it to get it closed. If TSA chooses to open your bag, you will waste a lot of time trying to get the zipper closed as a crowd of other passengers impatiently look on.

In addition, a bag that is stuffed full of things will make it difficult for X-ray scanners to see what is in it, likely causing more time to be wasted. So, make sure that you organize your bag really well.

Neatly fold and stack your items. Packing cubes are really helpful as they keep everything contained in your luggage and maximize packing space too.

Plus, you can keep your underwear and other intimates discreetly tucked into a packing cube. This is helpful if you are ever randomly selected for TSA inspection.

In addition, do not stack books on top of one another.

Rather, spread them out in your luggage to make it easier for x-ray scanning.

#3 Follow the 3-1-1 Rule

You are probably aware of the 3-1-1 rule unless you have not flown since 9/11. Regardless, it is easy to forget and deal with a hassle at the airport.

Basically, this rule states that all gels and liquids must be in containers of 3.4 ounces or less.

In addition, these containers must be in a single quart-size zip-loc bag.

The tricky thing is remembering that everything that is a gel must be packed in the quart bag. This includes snacks that many people carry on such as peanut butter, salsa and spreadable cheese.

To avoid having to throw out your stash of snacks, make sure that they will fit with your toiletries in the bag or consume them before you pass through security.

 

#4 Be Cautious about Packing These Things

Here are some things that might be surprised to learn often set off security scanners at the airport.

Avoid packing them if you must. If you have to pack them, then learn what to do about them.

 

Underwire Bras

Although the TSA says that this is not as issue, many women swear that the metal in their bras has triggered security.

Therefore, avoid wearing an underwire bra on your flight. Instead choose a more comfortable option, a sports-bra.

 

Inhalers

Many inhalers use an aerosol product. If you use an inhaler, inform an officer in advance that you are carrying one.

Make sure that it is properly labeled with the prescription information. This will help speed up things.

 

Headbands

The metal in headbands often triggers the scanner.

Send your headband through security on the x-ray belt to avoid triggering the scanner when you go through it.

 

#5 Skip the Hassle at LAX Altogether by Booking a Los Angeles Private Jet Charter

Want to avoid dealing with all of the issues above? Would you like to skip long security lines, pack as much luggage as you want and not worry about parking?

One secret is to book a Los Angeles private jet charter.

There are lots of myths surrounding private jets, such as that you have to be as rich as Bill Gates or Brad Pitt to afford one. Although that might have once been the case, it is simply no longer true.

Many private jet charter companies offer empty leg flights at serious discounts. These unused seats on private jets can cost up to 75 percent less than a typical private flight.

Sometimes, it can be cheaper to fly via private jet when you add up all of the extra fees that commercial airlines charge.

Here are some of the other benefits of private charter flights:

  • They can often fly when other airlines have to cancel or delay flights because of weather- Private jets can land at a number of smaller, nearby airports and avoid weather issues at times.
  • With a private flight, you will not be required to go through long TSA lines. Forget about emptying your pockets or taking off your shoes and coat. There are no body scanners or metal detectors. This means that instead of arriving 120 minutes early for your flight, you can arrive just minutes before.

These are just a few of the benefits of a Los Angeles private jet charter. There are many other advantages to traveling via a private jet.

Jet Charter Companies in Los Angeles

If you’re looking to charter a private jet out of Los Angeles, you’re in luck. Los Angeles has one of the largest inventories of private jets in the world, all thanks to the Van Nuys Airport.

The Van Nuys Airport is arguably the busiest private aviation airport in the world, closely matched only by its east coast counterpart, the Teterboro airport near New York City. The fact of the matter is however, although Teterboro competes with Van Nuys in the number of rotations (takeoffs and landings), many more airplanes call Van Nuys home than they do Teterboro.

There is little surprise why the Van Nuys Airport is the private jet capital of the country… Hollywood! Many movie studios, producers, and some celebrities own aircraft that are based at the Van Nuys and Burbank airports. Furthermore, supporting businesses and individuals of Hollywood exist in the region, all in addition to the normal economic flow a large city the size of Los Angeles would have.

If you’re looking for a private jet in Los Angeles, The Early Air Way is the place to be. We inventory every last part 135 charter aircraft that is based in Los Angeles, and then weed the ones that don’t meet our safety and quality standards out. Next, we monitor transient inventory through our system, meaning that our inventory of available planes is actually greater than the number of planes based in LA. Finally, we monitor cost-saving empty legs and one-ways better than almost anyone else. Add in the fact that we’re physically based at the Van Nuys Airport and you end up with a company that is capable of providing you a stellar product out of the Los Angeles area.

The next time you need to charter a jet out of the Los Angeles area, be sure to check out The Early Air Way. Below is an interesting Travel Channel video from the 1990s about the [now defunct] Petersen Aviation facility. This is current the headquarters of The Early Air Way.

How Jet Hedging Works

 

When you think about hedging as it relates to planes, you probably think about fuel hedging, which is something the commercial airlines do a lot of as they try to buy fuel ahead of time at a set price to provide consistent costs. Private jet owners engage in fuel hedging, too, but there is another type of hedging when it comes to private flying.

What Is Jet Hedging?

When people don’t want to or can’t afford their own plane, they can buy into fractional jet ownership, meaning they get a certain amount of use of a single plane or multiple planes in one category, such as small, medium or large. These programs offer a lot of advantages, but they also have some limitations. Jet hedging takes the process a bit further by allowing those with fractional ownership to have more control over what type of plane they have. For example, if someone bought fractional ownership in a small jet, say an eight-seater, but needed a larger jet for a trip, a hedging company could help.

Advantages Of Jet Hedging

With jet hedging, you get more control not only over the type of aircraft you fly in but also the way the seating is configured, how old it is and what its customer satisfaction rating is. If you need a larger jet or one that has a bigger range than the one in which you have ownership, hedging can make it happen. And though hedging sounds as though it would add costs onto what you already spend for your fractional ownership, in many cases such trips can actually be a better value. Hedging companies buy empty legs on other jets, which they get at a discount.

Private jet travel already has many advantages over commercial air travel and being able to do private jet hedging is just one more advantage. You can use hedging to make you air travel even more convenient.

Arrive In Style: Los Angeles Jet Charter Travel

The rumors are true: Los Angeles has terrible traffic. The freeways, malls, and beaches are all crowded. At LAX, the international airport, it is a struggle to park, to find your terminal, and to get a seat as you wait for your flight. Instead of starting or ending your vacation or business trip at this zoo of an airport, you should consider taking a private jet. Whether you are coming or going from the City of Angels, traveling with a Los Angeles jet charter will save you time, stress, and discomfort.

Taking a non-commercial plane eliminates your need to drive all the way to Westchester to get to LAX. There are dozens of small airports in the Los Angeles area available for private use by chartered flights. You can choose a convenient location, and even a time that works best for you. By spending a little extra money on your travel arrangements, you can say goodbye to all those unwanted red-eye excursions.

Without having to deal with the unpleasantness of a delayed flight, crying children, or limited luggage space, you can spend your time focusing on the beauty of the city as seen from the plane as you arrive or depart. A Los Angeles jet charter will allow you to enjoy the view of the sparking Pacific Ocean, the palm trees, and the curving labyrinth of crossing freeways. Depending on the direction that your plane is headed, you may perhaps catch a glimpse of the Hollywood sign, Catalina Island, the San Gabriel Mountains, or Beverly Hills.

In addition to the convenience and comfort provided by a private jet, being on a luxury plane will also make your flight a lavish experience. From the personalized service to the spacious seats, you will be flying in style. You even have the option of hiring a masseuse or professional chef to accompany you. When traveling to or from Southern California, a Los Angeles jet charter is an option worth considering.

Whether you are looking to cross the Pacific and spend the week in Bali or cross the country for an important meeting in New York, flying via private jet is extremely convenient. Because private jets generally fly out of smaller airports, there is no need to fight with the crowds at LAX before boarding your flight. You merely have to show up and walk right on your plane.

Choosing a Los Angeles private jet charter also allows you control over your in-flight experience.

Put an Elderly Relative at Ease by Flying With a Los Angeles Jet Charter Service

Traveling by commercial airlines to and from the Golden State can be exhausting, but it does not have to be that way. Standard airline seats can be cramped and uncomfortable, and complex security procedures and the long lines they cause can wear out even the most seasoned and physically fit passenger. For the elderly, the demands made upon you to simply travel from one place to another can become overwhelming. Recently, families looking to avoid these discomforts are discovering an attractive alternative.  If you want to increase the comfort and peace of mind of an elderly member of your family when traveling, a Los Angeles jet charter service can make all the difference in the world.

Flying by chartered jets smoothes out all the rough spots in airline travel. You can avoid large crowds and waiting around, and enjoy attentive service and a wide range of amenities that will put any traveler at ease. There are no intrusive and exhausting security lines, and the planes fly on a schedule that you choose instead of having it chosen for you. For California families, paying a little extra for all the benefits of using a Los Angeles jet charter service can be the difference between traveling with an elderly relative or staying at home.

It is not just the elderly that can benefit from the privacy, comfort, and extra room that flying by a jet charter service can provide. There are many medical conditions that might make you think twice about flying by regular airlines and navigating your way through crowded airports. While you may not have any critical medical needs, you may want to avoid any additional discomfort that you might encounter if you flew by commercial airlines in packed airplane cabins. Travel by chartered jet allows you to stretch out in comfort, with meticulous service reserved for the members of your party instead of shared with a planeload of strangers. If you are traveling in a large group that includes one or two elderly members, you might even find that a Los Angeles jet charter service is competitive with flying first class by commercial airlines.
