Nine terminals in a horseshoe loop is a design decision someone should answer for, and the immigration queue at Tom Bradley can eat 45 to 90 minutes before you've even claimed a bag. Fly in January and you're looking at $280 fares; fly in July or August and you're paying 40 to 60% more for the privilege of the same seat. Split the cost with Affirm or Klarna if you must, but budget for the city itself: restaurant prices here run 88% above the global average, so the plane ticket was never the expensive part.
