Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Pearson Intl to Los Angeles 
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2025
I wish I had anticipated the delay at the airport and scheduled my ride pickup for 1.5 hours after the estimated arrival time. I was unaware that passengers from Air Canada flights had to board a shuttle bus to access the aircraft.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Oct 2024
Make sure you know which terminal to head to upon landing if transferring at Los Angeles as the information board at LAX will show only flight info for the terminal you are at (1 of 8). Transfer information is not transparent from the airline or the airport. Subscribe to airline apps help but can be cumbersome and difficult to manage in a time crunch.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Aug 2024
It is great to have a nonstop flight. Might be worth paying a bit extra for it.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Aug 2024
Treat this like you’re flying on a greyhound bus. Bring food. Bring a pillow. Bring entertainment. Know that you will be uncomfortable and the airline won’t care.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Feb 2024
Do your check in online because it is much more convenient.
GaryFlew with Air New Zealand-Dec 2023
Get instructions on how to find your connecting flight terminal and gate in LAX. There are no information boards or information desks. We asked a lady in a gift shop, then it was a series of tunnels and stairs that were not well sign posted at all.
