Thread: Non-Rev Layover Survival Guide

Even with meticulous planning we all know that as non-revs we are at the mercy of fluctuating loads, mechanicals, late arriving flights and the ripple effect of weather and computer issues - the non-rev gods can be a fickle bunch.
So this guide is for those that find themselves stuck (between flights or overnight) at the airport. Please add to the list with your own home airport layover guide.

LAX Overnight

The Fairfield Inn & Suites Los Angles LAX/El Segundo (formerly the Hacienda Hotel).
Extended Stay Hotel Near LAX | Fairfield Inn & Suites Los Angeles LAX El Segundo

The hotel is close to the airport (maybe a 5-minute drive) has a 24/7 every ½ hour shuttle - you must call for pick-up, BUT what sets this hotel apart from the numerous hotels around LAX and the reason I recommend it (even though some of the rooms are a little noisy - airplanes) is because of the nearby (right across the street) strip mall. There’s a bank(Chase), a grocery store, several fast food places AND…… an In-N-Out Burger (arguably the best burger in California if not the entire U.S.) The hotel offers a free breakfast and wi-fi. Depending on occupancy, it does offer an airline rate, but no day rate.
