I have taken several flights (in and out) from LAX (Los Angeles International Airport), both domestic and international and have flown in variety of commercial planes (727, 737, 747, 757, 777, 787, A319, A320, A330, A380, turboprops, etc). at various times of day but have always landed/taken off from runway 24L. According to Wikipedia, LAX airport has the following runways.

| Runway | Length (ft) | Length (m) | Surface |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 6L/24R | 8,926 | 2,721 | Concrete |
| 6R/24L | 10,285 | 3,135 | Concrete |
| 7L/25R | 12,091 | 3,685 | Concrete |
| 7R/25L | 11,095 | 3,382 | Concrete |

I'm sure other runways are also used but why does 24L seem most preferred?
