Finding it
TMZ is in West Gates in Terminal B - West Gates at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
Terminal B - West Gates has 6 places to eat and 11 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 5am.
Hours against the security queue
TMZ opens at 5am and closes at 12am. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical LAX checkpoint queue at 9 minutes around 5am.
Across the week, LAX security runs longest around 12pm at a median of 20 minutes, and lightest around 1am at 2 minutes. This location is already open before those queues build.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's LAX wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Also open 5am to midnight, this TMZ shop trades in celebrity-culture merchandise a few storefronts from LEGO and INMOTION in the same West Gates cluster. It's the only TMZ at LAX, and its neighbors are fast-casual dining rather than other souvenir retail, so a traveler after a novelty gift has this one stop in the immediate area. The shared hours with LEGO and INMOTION mean all three are lit and staffed for the same early and late flights through this stretch of Terminal B.
Other options in Terminal B - West Gates
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
