LAX New Tom Bradley International Terminal

Question: Is it ever a good time to fly out of LAX. 

Answer: Yes, when it's out of Tom Bradley' "new" international terminal. Today's experience in route to Zurich on Swiss Air included first class duty free shops, free coffee at Starbucks and a complimentary chair massage. . . not to mention clean & beautiful restrooms.
