LAX Gates 74 thru 77: too many counters, almost no seating
So if you wanted to really mess up a whole series of boarding areas, just go through the 74 through 77 gates at LAX.
When waiting to decide what to do for a 772HD boarding at Gate 77, I quickly found out that a) because of the number of high seating counters installed for _each_ gate at the end of Terminal 7, b) there's almost no seating whether at the counters or lower chairs so c) you end up standing in the gate boarding lines (for Groups 1 and 2) because there's nowhere else to go.
Really really poor gate area design and implementation.
