Verified travelerFlew with Qantas Airways-Aug 2026

The Melbourne to Los Angeles flight itself was great, so I do not have many tips other than being prepared for the significant time difference and jet lag. I would also love to see the same level of warm and attentive cabin service we experienced on our SFO to Sydney flight. The biggest challenge was actually at Los Angeles airport. After landing, we had to collect our checked bags, stand in line for immigration and security, recheck the bags, and then travel to another terminal to catch our connecting American Airlines flight. The entire process took close to two hours and made the connection much more stressful than expected. My main tip would be to allow plenty of connection time at LAX, ideally at least 3 hours, especially if you have checked luggage and are connecting to a domestic flight.

CharlesFlew with WestJet-Dec 2025

I had 5.5 hrs between my flight to LA and my flight from LA to Calgary. I barely made it! The plane to Calgary was loading by the time I got through in-flight delays, then inbound US customs, luggage pick-up, luggage drop-off, then TSA checks as I re-entered the secure zone, then fast-walk to the outbound gate. LAX is a difficult airport, designed last century when air travel was much more relaxed. So: plan for WAY more time there than you’d ever want.
