Catching a plane in Los Angeles I was asked to arrive 4hrs early for a domestic flight.

Right.

I stayed close to the airport at a widely publicized hostel called the
LA Adventurer Hotel to reduce the total airport transport time.

It’s a nice space though a jet blasts close overhead about every 3 minutes during the day.

Staff are young people from all over the world saving for a plane ticket home. Service is interesting but not particularly good as you might expect.

The closest hostel to LAX actually does something cool I have never seen before. The cheapest dorm beds are only available if you are under age 30 and have a foreign passport. Nice touch.
