Length of time to get through immigration at LAX

Hi, just wondering how long it would take to get through security and immigration at Terminal 4 Los Angeles Airport (LAX) if the plane lands at 6.30pm.

For instance, if you were to book another flight out that same night, what would be the earliest/best time to book it?

Thanks

  • It took 2 of us about an 1 hour in total to collect luggage and go through immigration at LAX in September, as for connecting flights I don't know but at peak times I heard of 3 hour waits.

    My wife once had to wait there for four hours. So if you book a connecting flight, for goodness' sake make sure that you have a flexible ticket.
