Finding it

USA Today Travel Zone is in Arrivals in Terminal B at Los Angeles International Airport. It sits landside, so you can reach it without a boarding pass — and you still have to clear security afterwards.

Terminal B has 20 places to eat and 26 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 12am.

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

Sits on the arrivals side of Terminal B, before security, which puts it out of reach for anyone already through the checkpoint waiting to depart — this is a stop for people just off a plane. A 10am-to-6pm window means it's dark for early arrivals and closed well before the last landings of the night. Unlike Book Soup and America! further inside, both aimed at departing passengers, this one serves people walking out toward baggage claim. LAX doesn't have a second USA Today Travel Zone, so the newsstand-plus-electronics mix here is specific to this arrivals hall.

Other options in Terminal B

All landside, so you can reach any of these before security.
