A quick shot out the window.
I had heard lots of stories about customs in LAX being very slow. I just wanted to get to the hotel cause I was exhausted. It took about an hour and a half to get through; it was slow but not too bad. It was only our flight going through at the time, I can imagine with several flights at the same time it would be a nightmare. We finally got out of the terminal and found the shuttle bus pick up area. Shortly a bus came along to take us to the Hilton at the airport.
Overall the flight over was tiring, but very good. I’d definitely fly VA across the Pacific again, and I would on my way back
DAY 1: LOS ANGELES
We were going to do something but neither of us managed to get any sleep on the flight so we just stayed at the hotel and relaxed.
DAY 2: SPOTTING AT LAX
Woke up at about 2am (still wasn’t quite over the jet lag
). At 6am we walked to In-N-Out burger which took about 20 minutes. We stayed here the whole day, it sure is a great spot! The constant Southwest 737s did get a bit annoying after a while! Here are a few of my shots.
