Overview

LAX is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, United States (US). The matching ICAO identifier is KLAX. Travel agents see LAX on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example LAXLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO KLAX is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is America/Los_Angeles. This code page explains how LAX is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for United States: JFK (New York), EWR (Newark), LGA (New York), SFO (San Francisco), ORD (Chicago). Related IATA city code in this dataset: LAX. To turn a booked PNR that contains LAX into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.
