Are there any lockers or day storage for luggage at LAX?

Recommended Posts

I know there used to be, but I'm not sure if they're still around? I've got a lengthy layover on my way to Australia, and it'd be easier to leave my luggage securely and leave the airport for a few hours than it would be to take it with me and have to dick with security going through it again.

I don't think so. I think lockers at airports pretty much went away with 9/11. Besides, given LAX's layout, if you leave from a different terminal that you arrived on you'll have to go through security again.

Fucking incompetent assholes. If they don't think the lockers are secure enough, they're obviously saying their security checks are inadequate, since the lockers were IN THE SECURE AREA.

So what it comes down to is that I get to carry my rig and travel bag around LA while I hang out with a few friends, and show up 2 hours before the flight so I can clear security, instead of showing up 45 minutes before without bags.

The FAA/TSA have their heads so far up their asses they can see their esophagus.

No, not anymore...

But what you 'can' do is leave it at a close hotel with a few bucks for the concierge, tell him you are not 'sure' if you are staying or not...I've done that in various cities.

OR some friendly .commer might help!;)

When you going to be there?

I might be going out myself Tuesday! B|

How long will you be in LA? Enough time to let a fan buy you a drink?:D

Well, the carrying stuff around doesn't bug me as much as the clearing security. With no bags, clearing security is fast as hell. Carrying a rig? I assume the worst.

Oh well, I reckon I'll figure something out... as for when, it'll be 30 November.

At least a day....maybe two, actually trying to put it off until later in the week so I can make it a LONG weekend and get a load or two in with SD-Slider.;)

I'll know for sure tomorrow afternoon.

Keep me posted especially if you've got any free time in the evenings. I'll be there late tomorrow night through Friday afternoon.

When I flew back home from Philly they took my mascara. One, because it wasn't in a clear plastic baggy and 2, they considered it a fluid. I told them to take the lid off and tip it over to see it anything came out. I was pissed....just ain't right I tell ya!:S They maybe right though....if you mix my mascara with my "plumping" lip gloss, which they took too, you would really be in a heap of trouble at 40,000 ft!!:S:ph34r::S:ph34r::S:ph34r:
