The whole guideGetting out of the airportThere is no train from the gate: the rail station sits away from the terminals and you reach it on a free shuttle bus.Ride-hailingUber, Lyft and Opoli are LAX's authorised ride apps, and they pick up at the LAX-it lot next to Terminal 1.Local laws that catch crew outCannabis is legal in the state and still barred from federal land, and your phone is inspectable at the border.WeatherDry and mild at the coast for most of the year, and the sea is more dangerous than a calm afternoon suggests.Eating near the crew hotelsA letter grade on the door tells you the inspection score, and the menu price is never the price you pay.What to buyTax is added at the till, the rate changes with the city boundary, and there is no refund counter on the way out.TippingA tip is the employee's property by statute, and it is on top of a full minimum wage, not instead of one.
