LAX Appeal

Let us give LAX its due in improvements over the past 18 months. My travels into the Pacific and Far East allow me the luxury of entering LAX through the Northwest Airlines terminal an average of six times a year. There I find: 1) There is no charge for carts; 2) Unless arriving prior to 8 a.m., my maximum wait for passport control has been from two to six minutes and 3) When fully staffed, as I have found them to be most of the time, LAX has been faster in processing arriving passengers than most Pacific/Far East airports I have experienced.
