Los Angeles has a better view

LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) passengers and visitors will be pleased to know that the very popular 360-degree view Observation Deck atop the iconic Theme Building has re-opened to the public.  Initially at least it will be weekends only with limited hours – 08:00 to 17:00 on Saturdays and Sundays but there is no time limit for how long visitors may stay on the deck.  Together with the space-age, retro-themed Encounter Restaurant housed inside the building, the re-opening fully restores an LAX experience that had been a major draw to travellers from around the world.  The Observation Deck was closed following 9/11.  New security measures are in place before visitors enter the non-stop elevator to the Observation Deck.  However if you are connecting through on Air New Zealand and forced to go landside due to the US authorities there really is not enough time to make a visit. www.lawa.org
