Do you have a US passport? Global Entry?
Will you be checking bags or traveling with carry-on bags only?
With a US passport, Global Entry an no checked bags, I've always made it from plane to curb in 15 minutes or less.
Without Global Entry and with checked luggage, it can take as long as two hours to clear immigration and customs, the wait for the bags at the luggage carousels can be as long as an hour. If traveling with a foreign passport and without Global Entry, experienced LAX travelers recommend three hours.
