Pret a Manger is an international sandwich shop chain based in the United Kingdom, popularly referred to as Pret. Emphasis is on the use of natural ingredients and sandwiches that are made on the day of purchase. Sandwiches are packaged in paperboard rather than sealed plastic. You won’t find ‘sell-by’ dates on the freshly prepared sandwiches and salads and the milk and coffee is 100% organic. Pret offers unsold food to charities at the end of each day.

Finding it

Pret-A-Manger is in Dining Terrace in Terminal B at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.

Terminal B has 20 places to eat and 26 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 12am.

Hours against the security queue

Pret-A-Manger is open 24 hours.

Across the week, LAX security runs longest around 12pm at a median of 20 minutes, and lightest around 1am at 2 minutes.

Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's LAX wait-time record, not a live reading.

About this location

Round-the-clock hours make it one of the few places in Terminal B's Dining Terrace open for a 3 a.m. departure or a midnight arrival, when 800 Degrees Pizza and Border Grill nearby are shut. Sandwiches here are made same-day and packaged in paperboard rather than sealed plastic, a distinction that matters more at 24-hour opening than during the daytime rush when everything's fresher by default. There's no other Pret-A-Manger at LAX, so this Dining Terrace counter is the only version of that packaging and prep approach a traveler will find at the airport.

Other options in Terminal B

All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
