A long flight is the perfect time to catch up on some overdue reading. From the latest best-sellers to nonfiction, every genre from thrillers to romance novels, and a dedicated selection for kids and young adults, Book Soup has something for everyone.

Finding it

Book Soup Bookstore is in Great Hall 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

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

This Book Soup sits in Terminal B's Great Hall among Burberry, Bvlgari and Cartier — luxury names rather than the duty-free-and-motorcycle-gear row its Terminal 7 counterpart shares. Hours run 7am to midnight, later than that sibling's 11pm close, making this the later option of the two if a flight in this terminal boards near the end of the day. Being on the Great Hall side, in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, also puts it among the airport's international departure shops rather than a domestic concourse mix.

Other options in Terminal B

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