Going in December I left my house a full 3 hrs prior for the NK flight out of LAX. Drive to airport is 20 minutes. Took me 1:45 to make it to terminal. LAX is an absolute standstill sh**show entering the airport area, and the same standstill once inside the horseshoe. I didn’t even have time to drop car at the employee lot. I was only off 2 days so parked it in terminal 5 parking at LAX which is $40/day. Even parking like that and waking to the terminal, we got to gate about 40 minutes before departure. Barely made it!



Lesson learned for holiday period at LAX!
