Watching from abroad, I often leave the LAX feed on during a slow evening and check it before planning a connection through California. It is less polished than cable airport programs, but the runway views and reliable stream make the real-time action feel more useful than a documentary replay.

Taxiways stay surprisingly busy

I can lose track of time watching the steady rhythm of arrivals, departures, and taxiing aircraft. It is oddly relaxing background noise, especially when the skies get busy.
