Awesome place for plane spotting. I stopped by there on a visit to the Los Angeles area and saw many rare passenger planes (like the Boeing 747-8i from Lufthansa, Airbus A340-600 also from Lufthansa, a number of Airbus A380-800 from Emirates, Korean Air, Air France, British Airways and Asiana as well as the Boeing 757-300 from United). The area allows for excellent views of the south runway and the Tom Bradley International Terminal. I was able to take very detailed pictures using a Nikon DX format camera and a 18-140mm kit lens. Even for planes landing on the north runway, most of the international flights tend to taxi towards this side so you can still take decent pictures even if they are not taking off or landing. The caveat is that when I was there most of the passenger international flights took off on the north runway. There is limited seating and parking would likely be at a premium on weekends. I spent my afternoon there and I am definitely going back next time I am in Los Angeles.
