LAX Appreciation Day will give the public a one-day-only sneak peek of the New TBIT, which features 18 new boarding gates, nine of which will accommodate the larger, new-generation aircraft, such as the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental and the Airbus A-380 super jumbo jets, before it officially opens for operations later this year. There will be entertainment; architecture, aviation and USO displays; a multi-sensory media experience; art tours; raffle prizes; and an opportunity to meet the PUPs that are part of the LAX Pets Unstressing Passengers (PUP) program.  

Six 90-minute tours will take place throughout the day, with the last session starting at 4:30 p.m. Each LAX Appreciation Day Boarding Pass is valid for the selected tour time and is non-transferable. A maximum of six tickets per registration transaction is allowed, with additional tickets available by creating a new registration. Upon completion of registration, guests will receive an email confirmation with a Boarding Pass and a separate parking pass for complimentary parking. Shuttle service will be provided from the parking lot to the terminal. Guests must to print the Boarding Pass and the parking pass and bring them to the preview for entry. 

Backpacks and large bags will not be allowed; and smaller items such as purses and camera bags are subject to inspection. Guests are strongly encouraged not to bring any bags, as entry into the New TBIT could be delayed.  Food and beverages are also not allowed.
