Finding it
DFS Duty Free is in Departures in Terminal 2 at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
Terminal 2 has 9 places to eat and 6 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 3:30am.
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
Terminal 2's DFS counter sits in the departures hall alongside CNBC Smartshop, InMotion and SPANX, and it runs from 7am to 11pm — an hour later than the Terminal 7 branch and half an hour earlier than Terminal 6's. It is one of several DFS Duty Free locations spread across LAX rather than a standalone concession, so the stock and layout should feel familiar to anyone who has used the counter at another terminal here. The late close matters for Terminal 2's evening departure bank, when the newsstands nearby have already thinned out for the night.
One of 5 DFS Duty Free locations at Los Angeles International Airport (Terminal 2, Terminal 4, Terminal 5, Terminal 6, Terminal 7).
Other options in Terminal 2
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
