LAX FAQs: Is there any free parking at Los Angeles International Airport?Yes! If you're coming to pick up a passenger at LAX...but you don't want to pay to park while you're waiting...there's a FREE "cell phone lot" at LAX. As long as you stay with your car, this lot is free to use for as long as you need to pick up your arriving friend or family member---even if their plane has been delayed! When your party arrives at the airport, they simply call you on your cell phone, and you drive to their airline's terminal on the "arrivals" level (bottom level) of World Way---the horseshoe-shaped road through the Los Angeles International Airport. The Los Angeles International Airport free parking lot's address is: 9011 Airport Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90009. Since the LAX free "cell phone" parking lot isn't right next to the terminal area, use the following link to see a

LAX FAQs: How do I page a passenger in the waiting room?If you need to page a passenger, contact the airlines on which your party is flying. Calling the airport directly won't be of any help. LAX FAQs: Confusion about airport namesLos Angeles International Airport has a number of terminal buildings. One of these terminals is named the Tom Bradley International Terminal. Tom Bradley was a mayor of Los Angeles; in fact, he was the first Black mayor of Los Angeles. If you fly to international destinations from LAX Airport, there's a good chance that you might need to use the Tom Bradley International Terminal. (However, there are so MANY international flights in and out of LAX that there are several other terminals which handle international flights besides the Bradley Terminal. There is an airport in Hartford, Connecticut (in the northeastern USA) which is named Bradley International. This airport, of course, is no where near Los Angeles. It's a fine mid-sized airport, which I've used myself on several occasions. However, there is no such thing as the Tom Bradley International Airport. Because of the similarity of these names, some people have been confused.
