About this location
This is the only People News location at LAX, tucked into the Gates 70-88 stretch of Terminal 8 departures with just E! Entertainment for company nearby. It opens at 5am for the terminal's first departures and closes at 8pm, well before the last flights out of this concourse, so travelers on later Terminal 8 departures should plan ahead. The shop pairs celebrity and entertainment magazines with a small tech counter of chargers and headphones alongside the newsstand racks. There's no second Terminal 8 branch to fall back on once this one has shut for the night.
Other options in Terminal 8
