overnight in LAX between J flights?
maybe on the right section, but I have to make up my mind about the following:
I will be arriving from HNL at 11pm and flying on to JFK at 7am
My inbound flight is in first, the transcon in J, so I'll have comfortable flights/sleep before and after my night in LAX. And I have lounge access.
Question is: if I wanna spend those 5 or 6 hours in terminal 4, will this be allowed, or will I be kicked out? Or should I spend the 120 USD on an airport hotel?
Or is there a 24h lounge?

Pretty sure if you land at 11 p.m. and leave at 7 a.m. that is eight hours, so there would be close to seven hours between flights
Only you can decide if $120 is worth it to :-: YOU :-: @:-)
Of course by the time you do shuttle there and back you'll be lucky to get six hours of sleep

I think the only 24 hour lounge at LAX is the USO, but that's restricted to military.
Here are the hours of operation for each terminal: http://www.lawa.org/welcome_lax.aspx?id=5450
I believe they will kick everyone out after it closes so that the janitors can clean, but I don't know for sure.

Well, we don't have any firm rules about what Budget Travel is all about.
Yes, it gave me pause, but my own self has paid $2K to fly to Europe in Biz only to take public bus to the airport in order to save $25 over taking a shuttle @:-)

Budget is just that: the cheapest option (that's still humanly bearable/possible). J or F flights are not budget by any means. Even though long flights in Y aren't the most comfortable thing, they are surviveable. So let's at least limit the budget forum to all things Y, low cost carriers, budget hotels, hostels etc. etc.

employer covers the flight, I have to sort out my accomodation. I don't have the same resources as my employer, so that's why I thought it kinda fitted here. Sorry if you think differently.
Now considering the car rental option mentioned in a different topic. But not sure where to drive to. Wouldn't wanna be robbed in the middle of the night

LAX area itself is a little sketchy - when work took me to SoCal used to spend many Friday nights there before my morning flight home (employer did pay for hotel).
Santa Monica is not too far away and is very nice, but IIRC they also have no street parking for a few hours overnight. Just for folks who would sleep in their vehicles

That'd be a great option, but you can't drink a lot then of course. And maybe partying isnt the best idea if you are on a work trip haha.
