About this location
Sunset News opens at 4:15am, earlier than either See's Candies or Belkin in the same Gates 60-69 stretch of Terminal 6, making it the first shop running for travelers on this terminal's earliest departures. It closes at 11pm, covering nearly the full day before the terminal's overnight lull. Souvenirs sit next to the newsstand rack and a small tech counter of chargers and headphones, a broader mix than the confectionery at See's Candies or the electronics-only stock at Belkin nearby. There's no second Sunset News elsewhere at LAX.
