<human>: My boyfriend's coming home for Thanksgiving and I want to surprise him by being there when he lands. Rather than chill with the arrivals, though, I wanted to get inside while it was light out and watch the planes take off/land and read. There's plenty of places with such views but I don't know what's needed.

Some people say you can get accompanying passes with people who board, some say you have to go with someone with clearance to bring people, some say you have to have someone who works there... it's very confusing and it's a bit far so I want to have a plan.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Need to get inside main part of LAX (shopping/sitting area) with good intentions, who or what do I need and where can I get it?
