Are arrivals upstairs or down at LAX?

LAX has two levels: The top for departures and the bottom for arrivals. Rideshare drivers have to drop off on the top level, so it can get congested very fast. If you go below, you'll have to go upstairs using the escalators. Stay flexible about dropping off at less crowded terminals.
