Thanks for sharing all of these LAX promo videos...what fun! I lived in LA 1979-1992 and never understood why so many people were excited about the airport. I think I get it now! I remember when they built the second level in the 80's and everyone talked and talked about it. Fun stuff. Air travel used to be exciting...almost glamorous!

Boy, have we ever regressed. LAX has become a disgrace.

At about 3:07 I thought I saw a man holding a cellphone to his ear. But it was a bit too early for that.
