  • AirNZ arrival from NZ to United to denve
    Sep 14, 2011

    Hi Arriving AirNZ and got to go to denver on United. Only got 2 hrs so whats fastest way

     

    1. You arrive at Terminal 2 ("T2") and depart from T6, which has gates 60-67. All international arrivals need to go through passport control, pick up their bags, go through customs clearance and if continuing re-check-in their bags. Count on at least 30-40 mins. Thereafter you need to go outside to catch the shuttle bus: LAX's terminals are arranged in a U-shape, served by the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island in front of each terminal, under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', which runs every 12-15 mins. Your next stop is T3, TBIT, T4, T5, T6 - 5 stops taking about 15 mins. Then you need to go through security check and up to your gate area. No time to waste! (make sure you have your bags tagged at N.Zealand for NZealand to LAX to DEN!

  • Connecting to international flight

    I'm arriving at LAX at 9:30am in Terminal 3 on an Alaska Airlines flight, connecting to a Korean Air flight that departs at 11:30am from TBIT. This is an international flight to Japan (I'm a US citizen). I'm not checking in luggage. Will two hours be enough? Will I have to pass through the TSA checkpoint again? Do I need to clear cutsoms? Should I walk or take the shuttle to TBIT?

     

    Only international arrivals (citizens or non-citizens) at US airports need to go through passport & customs clearance. Yes you can walk over. Terminal 3 is next to TBIT and now connects in the secure area (after security check) to TBIT. No need to go through security check again. You have plenty of time.

    I am arriving via Southwest at 1:30pm and getting into an Emirates flight at 4:45pm. What terminals will i have to go to and will i have enough time?

     

    1. You arrive at Terminal 1 and depart from International Tom Bradley (TBIT) terminal, which has left gates 101-106; right gates 119-123. Exit Terminal 1 to catch the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island in front of T1, under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', which runs every 12-15 mins. You have 3 stops to TBIT - at most a 10 minutes' ride.

    I understand Alaska Airlines is using a temporary terminal - please tell me what terminal I go to - I leave this Friday (9/10) am for Portland, OR. thank you.

     

    It should be TBIT (Tom Bradley Terminal), to be sure call Alaska at 800-426-0333.

    1. You arrive at Terminal 1 (with gates 1-14 and leave at Terminal 4 (with gates 42-49) You need to exit Terminal 1 and connect to T4: LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island in front of your terminal, under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', runs every 12-15 mins. Its next stop will be T2, T3, TBIT & T4. Count on 3 minutes for each stop.

    Can we go from the delta domestic gates to the Delta international gate with out going through security again and is their a method of getting there besides walking?

     

    You need to look at your ticket, Delta uses Terminal 5, gates 50-69, the Bradley Terminal or "TBIT" uses gates 101-123. If your arrival and departure is in Terminal 5, you are in luck. If you need to change over to TBIT, you need to take the the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island in front of each terminal, under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', which runs every 12-15 mins. Your next stop will be T2, T3 and TBIT.

    Hi I am travelling from San Fran to LAX to returning to Australia on a 2350 Qnatas flight - what time should I leave San Fran - how long do I need to get through the airport

     

    You would depart of one of the three domestic terminals: Terminal 1 (US Airways, Alaska, Southwest, Hawaiian, Horizon, Frontier, Delta, Midwest, AirTran) has boarding area B, gates 20-36, and access to the International Main Hall and to the Boarding Area C. Terminal 2 (Virgin Atlantic) has boarding area D, gates 1-14. Terminal 3 (Continental, American, United, Air Canada) has boarding area F, gates 68-90. Make sure your checked bags are tagged to LAX & final destination Airport. You need to check-in your bags at SFO, go through security and on to your gates. Count on 2.5 hrs from entering SFO to arriving at LAX. At LAX you need to transfer to the Qantas terminal at Terminal 4. From your arrival terminal at LAX (look at your ticket,which terminal & gate) you need to take the LAX shuttle Route A, going round from TBIT to Terminals 4-8, then over to Terminals 1, 2 & 3, every 12-15 minutes, with 3 minutes at each stop. At T4 you need to go through security and on to your gate.

    Can I transfer from Terminal 8 to TBIT without need to go through TSA Screening Security check.

     

    Sorry, but the 9 terminals at LAX are not connected, you need to take the LAX shuttle bus route A in front of T8 which continues on to T1, T2, T3 and then TBIT, every 12-15 mins, taking about 3 mins for each stop. You find the bus on the lower arrival level island under sign LAX shuttle airline connection.

     

  • From International terminal to t3

    My Flight will be landed at Tom Bradley International Terminal at 1435 from hongkong. Is there enough time for me to catch the domestic flight at 1700 in Terminal 3 (Vrgin America)

     

    After arriving at LAX you need to collect your bags, go through customs clearance and re-check-in your bags, which should be properly tagged for LAX and final airport destination. Terminal 3 is to your left when you exit Bradley terminal. Do not use the shuttle as it will run from right to left, with last stop at T3. You have enough time to walk.

     

  • how far from Terminal 1 to Intl Term SIN

    How far is it from Terminal 1 (SW Airlines) baggage claim to International Terminal and the reservatoins check-in desk of Singapore Airlines? I'll be dragging a bicycle-in-box from SW Airlines baggage claim to Singapore Airlines check-in counter. Is thi sgong to be possible? thanks!

     

    1. you need to contact your departure airport or Southwest if you can have your bike tagged as through-baggage, meaning it will automatically be loaded onto your Singapore flight. This is important as you won't be able to get the bike onto the shuttle bus at LAX, and your walk from T1 to TBIT involves passing (to the left of T1 exit) T2, T3 to TBIT - these terminals are not connected. Without your bike, you have the option of walking or taking the the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island in front of each terminal, under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', which runs every 12-15 mins.

     

  • How to meet International arrival fr.T4
    Aug 27, 2011

    I will arrive at LAX on American Airlines, Terminal 4 if I'm correct. I need to meet a group arriving from Zurich at the International terminal to join them on a guided tour up the West coast. How do I do that in approximately than one hour?

     

    When you arrive outside of T4, you see to your left the Tom Bradley (or "TBIT" International terminal - my guess is that they arrive there. If not, keep in mind that terminals are arranged in a U-shape and are served by the blue-marked LAX Bus Route A, on lower arrival level island in front of terminals, under sign LAX shuttle airline connection", starting at TBIT continuing on to T4-T8, over to T1, T3, T3, and back to TBIT, running every 12-15 mins. Each stop takes about 3 minutes. Find out which terminal they arrive at. Also make sure that the flights are not canceled (due to Hurricane).

    are visitors allowed to interact with a passagnger when going from terminal7 to 8?

     

    Both terminals are domestic ones; however, visitors are only allowed in the pre-security areas.
