About this location
LA Confidential occupies departures in Terminal B's West Gates, sharing the same stretch as AllSaints and INMOTION rather than sitting near a specific gate cluster. Its 5am-to-1am window is the longest of the shops in this part of the terminal, reaching well past the last scheduled departures and into overnight arrivals. LAX has no second location of this shop, so it's the sole source at this airport for the locally sourced gifts and travel goods it stocks, and the late close makes it one of the few things open in West Gates for a delayed evening flight.
