Airline and Baggage Check-in

Domestic flights to all 50 US states departing from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) allow airline baggage check-in. Passengers receive airline boarding passes and baggage claim tickets before arriving at LAX. This convenient and inexpensive service allows passengers to eliminate waiting to check in at airline ticketing counters or terminal curbside. Upon arrival at their airline terminal, passengers can proceed directly to passenger security screening. The check-in service provider transports the baggage to an LAX facility where they are inspected by Transportation Security Administration security screeners and then placed on board the passengers' flights. This service is not available to passengers on flights to international destinations, nor to the US territories in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

The fee is $5 per passenger for airline and baggage check-in. This is in addition to the bus fare.

Travelers can check in two bags (each bag must weight 50 pounds or less) anytime on the day of travel, but at least three hours before their flight departure time.
