Expanding air service

[mr bill]

Is LAX as horrendous as online reviews make out? what is the minimum safe connection time there?
It is horrendous - esp if you are a transit pax not needing to be in US at all. All pax must clear immigration and then customs then recheck bags [that have already gone through security] and then go 'outside' meaning you have to go through Security again and if you have baby milk get pulled aside and given the choice of chuck the milk or get a feel down [only one family member so what maybe the detonator is overlooked 75% of the time given a family of our size?] Total BS. On the return they lost our double stroller to wheel the sleepy little ones through the endless blind corridors needed to get to the BS arena because we landed 20 min early - couldn't get a gate so we were parked on the tarmac and had to be bussed in [so much for being 20 min early]

Other good news: Gate 58 area [DL] shop H2O was only $4.35 per half liter. I didn't buy
Inflight to BJX drinks were for sale - since this was at the end of a 30 hr trek I ordered 2 beers at whatever cost only to learn that the card processor had malfunctioned - so On the House - wish I could have changed the order for something more upscale.

Getting back to connecting time -if the airline's website sets up the trip it assumes MCT is met so should you miss your connection it is their fault and liability. If on the other hand you set up your own cnx independently Airline 1 has no obligation to help you in your cnx to Airline 2

This LAX step-by-step spells it out but misses the need to go though security again
