Theories

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) was the destination of Oceanic Flight 815 flying from Sydney, Australia. The flight never reached LAX due to the aircraft's crash on/near the Island. In the flash sideways, however, the plane landed safely at LAX.

FlashbacksEdit

• "Two for the Road": Ana Lucia, after working for the Los Angeles Police Department becomes a security guard at LAX, where she meets Christian Shephard. They have a drink at the airport bar, when Christian invites her to be his bodyguard in Australia.

• "316": The flight of Ajira Airways, which brings five of the Oceanic Six, Ben and Locke back to the island, departs at the Los Angeles Airport.
