News Summary

• LAX has largely avoided the severe staffing shortages and multi-hour lines seen elsewhere.
• Call-out rates at LAX have remained manageable compared with other facilities experiencing 40% to 50% absenteeism.
• Spring break crowds have added pressure, but security has kept pace without the bottlenecks plaguing other hubs.
• Experts recommend arriving at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international departures.
• Those with TSA PreCheck, CLEAR or airline priority boarding should still benefit from faster lanes, though even standard screening has moved efficiently this week.
