| Los Angeles International Airport | LAX | 13 km (8 mi) | 12,894 ft | 125 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,894 ft, LAX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 125 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
