Just like last year, we expect tickets to sell out very quickly once they are available. If you feel like you might be unavailable when tickets go on sale, we suggest you use our SpotLAX WhatsApp Chat to connect with another attendee who might be able to secure your tickets. We‘ve added a new group in the chat just for questions about the party. This group is also a great place to offer tickets to others that you can no longer use.

Here it is, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: #SpotLAX2026 will be held September 18-20, 2026! Please note that the event will be held a week later next year than it was in 2025. As usual, we’ve once again partnered with Brett Snyder’s Cranky Dorkfest, which will be held on Saturday, September 19th. For more information on that portion of the weekend, head over to crankyflier.com. We’ll have lots more information in the coming months.

The 12th installment of our annual fall planespotting event, #SpotLAX2025 is just a few days away. Here’s all the information you will need to make the most of this exciting event! First off, a note on activities. SpotLAX was initially conceived as an informal gathering of planespotters, and that spirit largely remains today. It’s an event where groups of friends both new and old gather to chat, enjoy the aviation ambiance, and take photos.
