This morning I was headed towards arrivals. Inspection was occurring on both levels at the Century Blvd. exit.

Used Uber from T4 this past week. Pick up was easy-meeting spot in front of the AA Flagship door on Arrivals level (employee bus zone) I will use again.

Were there any airport extra charges for Uber?

FYI Took it on Thursday evening, and the sign was missing for whatever reason. I walked down to the T6 pickup sign to be sure.

Extra $4 fee for pickup/dropoff.

There still is no sign at T4. Noone seems to know why.

You mean sign "D" pictured below is missing?

Yep. I would venture a guess that the construction around the T4-TBIT connector has something to do with it.

So that D location is basically right about the TBIT taxi queue?

Upper level has a taxi queue? Oh, I see, I think you meant to say above.

The two times we've now used Uber out of T4, we've given the Flagship Checkin as our reference point to the driver. Much closer to where we actually exit, and a known landmark. Also easier to pull in and pick up than in that mess between T4 and TBIT.

Typo in my post - 'about' should have been 'above.' Sorry.

The drivers I have spoke with specifically informed me that they are not permitted to pick up anywhere but the Ride Share locations.

Otherwise, they are subject to a fine; as a result I walk to the E location for T4.

Walked by the Flagship Check-In area and there was another UberX there waiting for his fare. Still missing the ride-share pickup sign in that area.

LAWA is trying stem the loss of parking fees that's why they are charging $4; a novel idea is to stop at IN N OUT on your way to LAX (if you have sufficient time). You can easily be dropped off there, grab lunch or dinner and then walk into the terminal area.

This way you pay for lunch with the savings and burn some calories too.

No way you'd burn as many calories as you just ingested there.

Less about parking fees, more about surcharges placed on taxi/private hire pickups.
