“By adding a one-hour rapid PCR test, LAX once again is leading the way in airport innovation and guest service, and providing travellers with access to dependable and accurate rapid testing solutions that meet their timing needs.”

Passengers can also get the $80 nasal-swab antigen tests at Terminal 6 and the results will be available in 30 to 60 minutes.

Additionally, the airport also offers $125 PCR tests at the Tom Bradley International Terminal and Terminal 2 and provides results in less than 24 hours.
