Los Angeles International · LAX · the West Coast's busiest · June 2026
Los Angeles Airport moved 76.6 million passengers in 2024. Alaska Airlines and American Airlines hub here, which concentrates the flight banks. Opened on 1 October 1928, originally as Mines Field. Blindspot books its screens by the hour, priced per play.

Location insights
LAX is the gateway to the Pacific and the entertainment capital's front door. The nine-terminal horseshoe wraps the iconic Theme Building and the new automated people mover, while the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) is the flagship: a luxury-retail Great Hall where trans-Pacific travelers dwell. The audience splits between Hollywood-and-lifestyle international arrivals and a heavy domestic business flow through T4, T6 and T7. Long-haul banks land all day. Buy the TBIT departures and arrivals, the domestic morning banks, and skip the dead hours.
TBIT Dep and check-in fill in the early-morning and late-afternoon banks. Book those hours and your frequency against business travelers climbs for the same budget.
Domestic Dep and the gate holdrooms hold seated, relaxed travelers for 60–90 minutes, long windows where dwell, not rush, does the work.
Baggage fills as long-haul flights land in banks, high-value international passengers with time to read. Swap creative to match who just arrived.
Location intelligence summary
Los Angeles Airport doesn't have a rush hour; it has flight banks. Departures peak in the morning, long-haul arrivals land in waves, and between them travelers dwell for 60–90 minutes with phones often stowed. The buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the banks when your audience is captive, skip the dead hours.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch / premium | TBIT Dep + CTA / APM | All day · long-haul banks |
| Business travelers | TBIT Dep, Domestic Dep | Weekday 6–10 AM · 4–8 PM |
| Long-dwell layovers | Domestic Dep, Baggage | 10 AM–8 PM |
| International arrivals | Baggage, Lounges / retail | Aligned to long-haul landing banks |
| Duty-free & retail | TBIT Dep, Domestic Dep | Departures peaks |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Los Angeles Airport’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Security-line passengers read in seconds; gate-side travelers dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
The zones above already draw a specific buyer: international business travelers moving through TBIT Dep and CTA / APM, where Delta and American Airlines each run a major hub, together carrying more than 25 million passengers a year on their way to LAX's 73.7 million annual total (see DOOH for B2B), and logistics and e-commerce operators target Domestic Dep and Baggage, where FedEx anchors an airport handling roughly 2.29 million tons of air cargo a year.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Los Angeles Airport (LAX) screen: the format (pricing runs higher on great Hall spectaculars than on concourse & gate screens), the zone (TBIT (Tom Bradley) Departures & Great Hall carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.
Concourse test
An hourly burst across one terminal through the morning departures bank. Ideal for launches and travel-intent campaigns.
Multi-zone airport push
TBIT plus the domestic terminals and arrivals halls across peak banks, the workhorse plan for national and entertainment brands.
LAX flagship takeover
The TBIT Great Hall plus the domestic terminals and CTA spectaculars, a full takeover of the Pacific gateway.
FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, JCDecaux Airport, Clear Channel Outdoor, Vistar Media (programmatic) among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Los Angeles Airport handled 76.6 million passengers in 2024. The audience is the reason to buy it: air passengers are captive, comparatively affluent, and hard to reach through most channels, and they spend meaningful time in the terminal with attention to spare between check-in and boarding. Dwell is the asset. Unlike a roadside screen read in two seconds, a gate or arrivals placement gets minutes rather than moments, which is why airport placements hold up for brand and considered-purchase messages rather than short reminders. About 88 percent of LAX travelers are origin-and-destination passengers rather than connections, according to a 2019 LAWA report. Alaska Airlines and American Airlines both hub here, which concentrates connecting traffic through the same core. Because the screens are bookable by the hour, you can match spend to the flight banks that carry your audience instead of paying for a flat month.
Los Angeles Airport zones are scored separately for visibility, dwell time and footfall, because the best placement depends on which of those you actually need. TBIT guarantees exposure to essentially every departing passenger. TBIT Arrivals & customs holds attention through a queue, where dwell is involuntary and long. Domestic terminals gives the longest relaxed attention, with passengers seated and waiting. Each zone shows its own per-play price and live availability, so you can pair a high-reach zone with a high-dwell one rather than guessing at a single best spot. Baggage claim halls catches a recently landed audience with phones back out. Premium lounges & retail nodes reaches a higher-spend traveler before the flight. The terminal layout shapes all of this: LAX has nine passenger terminals (Terminals 1 to 8 plus the Tom Bradley International Terminal) arranged in a horseshoe, with 161 gates in total.
Yes. On Blindspot every Los Angeles Airport screen is bookable by the hour with no minimum, so you can buy only the morning departures bank or the long-haul arrivals windows that match your audience.
The airport's media is run by operators such as JCDecaux Airport, Clear Channel Outdoor, Vistar Media (programmatic); Blindspot aggregates the bookable digital screens onto one map, priced per play.
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
More than the usual airport rate card suggests, because you are buying plays rather than a fixed package. In Los Angeles Airport a $500 budget typically funds a multi-day hourly presence across a high-dwell zone such as Domestic terminals, or a concentrated burst on TBIT and TBIT Arrivals & customs through the busiest departure banks only. At entry plays around $0.45, the arithmetic is visible before you commit. It will not buy a month of an arrivals-hall spectacular, and that is the trade: hourly, per-play buying lets a small budget own the specific windows when the passengers you want are actually in the terminal, instead of thinning the same money across empty overnight hours.
