It's holidays season so people will be travelling a lot. That is the reason why so many of my recent posts have been travel- related or adjacent. In this post I want to talk about what a terribly designed and inconvenient airport LAX( Los Angeles International Airport) is.
My issues with it arise due to its massive size and the lack of any internal public transport. If you are unfortunate enough to have a connecting flight that goes thru it, you could end up walking maybe 40 -45 minutes between the gates, no trams or trains and the walkways in very limited areas. And more woe to you if you happen to be equipped with heavy hand-carry, because a short intermission in your trip could easily turn into a rigorous military training regimen. Perhaps the airport grew to its current size organically as need for air services increased, but then why would no one consider the need for automated devices to transport people from one end of the airport to the other?
The second issue is, while the major atrium at the airport are clean, shiny and well-lit, the corridors that connect the different terminals are dark dirty and sketchy-looking. I don't comprehend the logic of spending billions to constructing such a great hat but the cheap ing out on the parts that actually make people like and use the place.
Maybe the next time the airport things will be better? They were doing renovations all over the place, there is something worth being hopeful about.
