Where to Eat at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Traveling through LAX can sometimes be a nightmare, with traffic into the airport, inefficient security lines, and unplanned delays. Since 2019, LAX has been busy with construction and renovations , including a highly anticipated but delayed people mover , which means significant changes for the restaurants, lounges, and bars at the airport. With years of construction already completed, and more to come, Los Angeles International Airport is honestly looking better than ever regarding passenger experiences inside the terminals.

One of the new options is an airport-only food delivery service called Order Now which brings dishes from across terminals, in case a particular terminal you’re flying out of doesn’t have the options you want. Here is an updated look, just ahead of the holiday travel season, and what to expect when seeking out food at Los Angeles’s busy airport. Prices taken at time of publishing.

Members or guests can go through a separate TSA-approved security and take cars directly to the terminal, bypassing crowds and the long walks through concourses. But the experience comes a hefty price tag , starting at $1,095 for one use or $4,850 for annual membership, plus an additional fee per use.

The perks of using PS terminal are good enough that the facility gets to near capacity every day of the week, so reservations are highly recommended. Most people who come in with themselves or up to three additional guests can hang out in the salon, which features well-made cocktails and a sizeable menu of avocado toast, soba noodles, steak, seared salmon, caviar, and other dishes. The food and drinks are essentially unlimited — think of this as a first-class airline lounge, but with top-flight ingredients and preparation.

The other option here is to book a private suite, which comes stocked with snacks, a private bathroom, toiletries, and other amenities — and all of the aforementioned food and drink available in the salon. Sign up for our newsletter. Check your inbox for a welcome email.
