Not sure exactly where this post belongs, but next week, I will be arriving at LAX from PHX at around 2pm and my codeshare AA/Qantas flight to AKL leaves at 8:30pm. How early can I check my bags in for the flight? What are some suggestions on what to do for the long
layover? Leaving the airport to go into town with luggage isn't a good idea. How about going to a hotel to hang out? Are there any reasonably priced restaurants with halfway decent food in the Tom Bradley International Terminal? Thank you for any suggestions.
