CNN Newsstand
Finding it
CNN Newsstand is in South Concourse 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 newsstand runs from 5:30am to midnight in Terminal B's South Concourse, positioned between Be Relax and The Hollywood Reporter's shop, with Treat Me Sweet close enough to smell. It is the only CNN-branded outlet at LAX, so there's no comparable stop in another terminal for travelers who prefer this chain's papers over a generic newsstand's. The 5:30am opening lines up with the concourse's first wave of departures, well ahead of most sit-down options nearby, making it one of the earliest reliable stops for a paper or a bottle of water on this side of Terminal B.
Other options in Terminal B
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
