Los Santos International Airport



The Los Santos International Airport (LSX) in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is based on the real-life Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). LSX is located at the southern end of Los Santos.

The airport is stated as being the fourth busiest airport in the world. The airport was originally built as an airfield for the Los Santos Air National Guard. In 1942, it was converted for commercial flights. The airport is made up of five gates that are connected by a U-shaped two-level main terminal. The airport is located on the freeway, but there are also direct road links into the center of the city.

There is always a Shamal and a Dodo parked at the airport, with Baggage carts and Tugs, either parked or being driven around, often alongside other vehicles. The player can purchase Juank Air flights to and from Las Venturas Airport and Easter Bay International Airport for $500, but no flights actually take off or land without the player instigating it.

Interior
The interior of the airport is only seen in the first cutscene of the game. The player does not have any free access to the interior at all. The interior is not located inside the airport itself but in the interior heavens only accessible through cheats or modifications. Also, if parking a car against a low wall, then climbing on to the car, then climbing on the wall. Then, you may get a pilot's licence and enter freely.

Trivia

 * The Los Santos Airport is the only airport in the game that wasn't featured in a mission. Easter Bay International Airport was featured in the missions Ran Fa Li and Mike Toreno. And the Las Venturas Airport was featured in the missions Freefall and Saint Marks Bistro.
 * The runways are also a great place for testing car speeds and stunting. There are many ramps at the ends of runways. Also, there are slanted, rectangular, platforms in between the runways. There are 3 sets of them, and provided they have a great car and room to gain speed, the player can reach jump distances of around 250+ feet.
 * The ramps at both ends of the runway can be used to recover the airplane from crashing if it has not reached the proper speed for a takeoff.

Others

 * Two Gang Tags
 * Three Unique stunt jumps
