Time to kill at/around LAX - what to do?
Recently I've been taking the AA LAX-ORD redeye at 11:15 pm with no troubles. One time, however, I decided to try my luck and go standby on flight right before, a 5:20 departure (or thereabout).
Between having to run home early from work to pack, battling wonderful freeway traffic, and the like, I missed the early flight. So my question at this point is, do I battle traffic back home and then back again to the airport (I live in Hollywood Hills area) or just kill time by LAX? I figured even though there was a six hour gap, it didn't make sense to spend another two hours driving around, so I went to that Howard Hughes parkway mall and saw a movie, went to Borders, etc.
My question here is what would you do/where would you go if you had that much time to kill ... Airline club, hang around the terminal, back home, the mall, Santa Monica, etc?
