World’s Busiest Airport Sights From Above: LAX

This video shares my love of aviation. It is the first of a video series on airports and shows the busy airplane movements. LAX is one of the busiest airports in the world (the third busiest in 2019, behind Atlanta and Beijing).

My love of aviation started more than 20 years ago as a plane spotter. I have spent countless hours watching airplanes coming and going at LAX. The video includes rare and incredible "air-to-air" footage, taken from a Helicopter.

This video feature some of the best LAX movements, including footage from many A380 operators such as Emirates, Lufthansa, Air France, Korean and China Southern. It also features many B747s, B777s, B787s and A350s showing take-off and landing from close quarters.

The video was filmed from various locations and from day to night including the gorgeous SoCal sunset.

This video shows my love of aviation as a plane spotter and AvGeek like many of you do. I know everyone is staying safe at home and can’t wait to go out for more once it is over! We will have 2 more episode coming from Europe and Asia. Enjoy the plane spotting from the video! ✈️👍

I love LAX, my hometown airport. I've done a bit of planespotting there (by In and Out) and some trip reports. Love spotting there.

LAX is my favorite airport, I have always traveled through the airport since when I was a kid. I have found watching different types of planes taking off and landing fun to watch.

I visited LAX last November. There were so many international heavies. I stayed in Quik parking. Your helicopter shots are simply breathtaking.

Absolutely stunning shots! Those sunset clips were amazing!

Being around airplanes is the most relaxing thing to do. I don't mind watching airplanes take off and land all day long. I never get bored of it

I have been to LAX so many times, I have flown to 24 countries. USA, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Israel, Germany, UK, Hungary, Slovakia, Norway, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, Scotland, Ireland, France, Iceland, New Zealand, and Austria. All those trips started at LAX. That airport is connected to me. The first plane I ever flew was an ELAL Israel airlines, on a 777-200ER when I was 4 weeks old. It’s true. The only 747s I flew were and British airways and I got to sit in the cockpit. I’ve sat in the cockpit of so many planes you can’t even imagine. I really like your channel and I love airplanes with all my heart thanks for making this video about LAX! 😀 I flew the BA jumbo from Cape town, South Africa to London, Heathrow! 🛫✈️🛬

how can people dislike this channel, its the best!!

I managed to make my first trip to Las Angeles and LAX the week before the New Year! My dad and I plane spotted from the Homewood Suites Rooftop Lounge and the In n Out Burger. When we were inside eating we missed an Eastern 767, Cathay Pacific 747-8F, and a Qantas A380. I still managed to catch a lot of planes after that, because only then my flight radar started to work. This airport will always have a special place in my heart. My dad has some amazing pictures from his Nikon that I will always love! Especially the ones of the KLM 747-400M that I missed land, seeing my first ever A380, and the BOAC Retro Livery on the British Airways 746-400. I might as well make a video too (won’t be nearly as amazing as this).
Thanks for sharing your experience, there are so many amazing aircraft that travel in and out of that airport! I can’t wait to go back once this all blows over, it really was something to remember!

747-8 in a Classic Lufthansa Design... 💯👍

If anyone wants to see any type of Airlines, Aircraft or Airport, it has to be here. Don't think anyone presents them beautifully as Sam does. Truely love watching em all.
