We arrived at 1:50am, some three hours late, at the third world like Terminal 3. Wow, except for the new TBT, LAX is a bad airport at best... but T3 is the absolute dregs of LAX.
The second airport terminal I ever visited was T3 at LAX, also after a long delayed flight and a 2:30AM arrival landing from the west. Let's just say I'm glad I started at the bottom and it could only get better
