Been hearing a lot this morning about the fact that LAX was closed, due to the wildfires that are going madly here in the L.A. area.
According to Scoble, LAX is now open, but there's going to be a lot of unhappy travellers as they get the backups un-backed. One more reason to schedule your travel early.
If you're planning to travel to L.A. in the next couple of days, it's probably a really good idea to call your airline before you leave for the airport.
