IATA and ICAO are used in different places. The three-letter LAX is the IATA code that appears on tickets, bag tags and search screens; KLAX is the four-letter ICAO code used in flight plans, notices to airmen and operational paperwork. IATA codes can collide for historical reasons; ICAO codes do not, and their first letters encode the region. A four-letter code in aviation documentation is not an error — it is a different system.
Coordinates are for checking, not decoration. LAX sits at 33.942496, -118.408049. That is genuinely useful when booking a room or a transfer, because “near the airport” is claimed to wildly different standards. In a large city, map distance and real travel time in peak hours diverge sharply — read the travel time for the hour you will actually move, not the kilometre figure.
Airlines serving LAX
5 carriers appear at LAX in our catalogue and we hold an airline row for 4 of them, with baseline baggage spanning 30 to 30 kg. Alliances present: Oneworld, SkyTeam, Star Alliance. 0 of them are based here. The field runs on America/Los_Angeles, ICAO KLAX.
| Airline | Alliance | Baggage | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thai Airways (TG) | Star Alliance | 30 kg | |
| Cathay Pacific (CX) | Oneworld | 30 kg | |
| Korean Air (KE) | SkyTeam | 30 kg | |
| EVA Air (BR) | Star Alliance | 30 kg | |
| All Nippon Airways (ANA) | — | — |
The alliances present here shape connections. Oneworld, SkyTeam, Star Alliance operate at LAX, which opens through-checked bags and continuous boarding passes on a single ticket. The caveat: sharing a terminal with a partner logo does not mean your two flights are actually connected. The agreement attaches to the carrier pair and the ticket type, not to the building.
Carriers we hold no row for. All Nippon Airways appear at this airport in our catalogue but have no alliance or baggage record in our database, so we print a dash instead of guessing. Check those carriers’ own pages before buying — an empty cell is more honest than an unsourced number.
LAX route overview
LAX has 0 outbound corridors in our catalogue, roughly 0 departures a week All figures are estimates of the standard schedule. 1 of those corridors carry a cached fare, the lowest ฿26,818. The field runs on America/Los_Angeles, ICAO KLAX.
Inbound
| Route | Freq/wk | Hours | Market low |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bangkok (BKK) → Los Angeles (LAX) | 14× | 17.5 | ฿25,657 |
This field sits in our catalogue as a destination. We record 1 inbound corridors into it, splitting 1 long-haul (7h+), and no outbound guides — we build route pages only for journeys starting in Thailand. Departures from here exist; they simply have no page in this set yet. Read the carrier’s own schedule for the return.
Outbound and inbound are asymmetric because this is a catalogue boundary. We record 0 outbound and 1 inbound corridors for LAX. The gap reflects which route guides we chose to build — weighted to what travellers from Thailand search — not one-way service. The return flights exist whether or not we have published a page for them yet.
Corridors & fares from LAX
The 1 corridor at LAX break down as 1 long-haul (7h+), serving mainly Thai diaspora / VFR. We hold a cached fare for 1 of 1 route, the lowest ฿26,818 on BKK–LAX. The corridors touching this field connect 2 countries in our catalogue.
Most LAX corridors here serve Thai diaspora / VFR travellers. The mix is 1 long-haul route (over 7 h). 1 are labour-migration or diaspora corridors where extra-baggage allowances matter. Fares are shown in Thai baht (THB), and each route guide below carries live cached prices.
Everything is shown in baht, and that matters more than it looks. Fares are converted to THB so they compare on one page, but the underlying prices are set in the currency of the market that issues the ticket. The same corridor can price differently issued in different countries, and the exchange rate moves between our capture passes. Read these as a ranking, not as accounting figures.
Why some rows have no price. We capture lows in passes, and not every corridor returns a value each time. Seasonal routes, thin routes and routes sold through narrow channels report irregularly. An empty cell means no capture succeeded in the latest pass — not that the route is closed or expensive. We leave it blank rather than interpolate, because plausible-looking estimates are exactly what makes a table untrustworthy.
Direct flights to LAX — 1 route
Our catalogue records 1 inbound corridors into LAX from 1 country, block times 17.5 to 17.5 hours. Frequency figures are estimates combining every carrier on the corridor. The corridors touching this field connect 2 countries in our catalogue. 5 carriers appear at LAX, 0 of them based at the field.
- BKK → LAX — 14×/wk, 17.5 h, low ฿26,818
The destination country sets the rules, not the departure airport. The corridors here span 1 country, each with its own aviation regulator, visa regime and transit conditions. What you are owed changes with the destination and the direction of travel, not with the airport you left from. The route guides carry the detail per corridor.
How to read this list usefully. The frequency figure describes the risk in your plan, not the quality of the route: several departures a day gives you options when something breaks, a few a week means building in a spare day. We hold a cached fare on 1 of the 1 corridor here; the rest have no successful capture yet, which does not mean they cost more.

Time zone and connecting at LAX
LAX runs on America/Los_Angeles, 15h behind Bangkok. This zone shifts its clocks seasonally, so the gap changes across the year. Every time printed on a boarding pass is local to that airport rather than an elapsed duration, so subtracting one from the other gives you the wrong number.
Offsets make overnight flights deceptive. With LAX 15h behind Bangkok, a late-night departure can arrive the same morning or the next one on paper for identical flying time. That is the single most common reason transfers and first hotel nights get booked on the wrong date. Read the date on the final sector’s boarding pass, then confirm anything on the ground.
Minimum connection time is not in our data. Every airport publishes one, and the figure differs for domestic-to-domestic, international-to-international and terminal-change connections. A booking system will not sell you less than that on a single ticket — but it will happily let you build less than that yourself across two tickets. That is where passengers most often create risk without realising it.
