    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.

     

  • 2 hours to change terminals

    Hi, I am travelling into LAX on 23 September on VA007 arriving at 6.25am (arrives Terminal B) and connecting with DL106 departing 8.30am (departs Terminal 5). Do I have enough time to pick up luggage, go through customs and security checks and change terminals? Your hasty assistance would be very appreciated. Kerry

     

    I think so. Hopefully you have properly tagged your baggage as through baggage arriving safely at your end destination. Don't forget to re-check-in you luggage after customs clearance. Then walk out of the terminal to the left and walk quickly to Terminal 5 (the third terminal after T8. Do NOT take the shuttle bus as it's route would go on to Terminal 1 and then around, taking too long.

    Only get 3 1/2 hours to enter the custom and change the flight. How can I do that? And how can I get to the custom? About the baggage, I need to pick up at T2 or T6?

    Hi there, Is 2 hours between flights enough to get from terminal 3 to terminal 8?

     

    Outside of Terminal 3 take the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection' which runs every 12-15 mins. Starting from TBIT, the next stops are at T4 –T8, it then goes on to T1, T2, T3 and back to TBIT. Count about 3 mins for each terminal stop. You will have 8 stops.

    We are connecting through LAX with a 40 minute layover so I have two questions. Do you think it is possible to make it over to T7 in that amount of time and, once there, will we have to go through security again? I read the terminal map descriptions and it almost makes it sound like we won't. ??

     

    I suggest you walk from T8 to T7 (the shuttle bus makes its way from T7 to T8 over to T1, T2, etc.) Yes, you will have to go trough security again. 40 mins is extremely tight.

    HI, I'll be arriving at LAX at 10am from Melbourne Australia, but not leaving for Atlanta until 10 pm same day. I'm hoping to be able to book my luggage into the Atlanta (Air Trans) flight in the morning, then take a day trip into LA city. Do you think this will be possible? thanks, Rosied

     

    International arrivals must retrieve their checked baggage, go through customs clearance and (if connecting) re-check-in their luggage. Make sure you have tagged your bags properly showing LAX & ATL airports. Your bags with automatically arrive at ATL. Have fun!

     

    I am flighing United and have 45 min layover. How long does it take to go from one end to the other in terminal 7?

    I get in to LAX @ 8:09 PM, whats my best bet to get to T2 for a 10:15 PM flt on Air New Zeland. Is the A shuttle the only option?

     

    Bus Route G connects the Airport with the Metro Green Line Station. At Airport you need to take the A shuttle. (starting at TBIT, T4-T8, around to T1, T2, T3, back to TBIT - every 12-15 mins).

     

  • T7 to Encounter Restaurant

    I have a 5-hour layover at LAX, arriving into and then departing from T7. Since I have the time, I would like to visit the iconic restaurant (it is named Encounter how, I believe) in the center of the airport. How do I walk from T7 to the Encounter Restaurant?

     

    The restaurant is in the TBIT terminal. 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. Starting from TBIT, the next stops are at T4 to T8, it then goes on to the opposite side with T1, T2, T3 and back to TBIT.

     

    where is terminal for delta arrivals

     

    Where is terminal for Air China Airline and the nearliest hotel in LAX airport?

    I,ll be landing at TBIT at 9pm and my connecting flight will be at terminal 4 at 10.25pm. Will I have enough time to catch this flight? I do not have a check in luggage and only have a carry on bag.

     

    I presume you arrive from an international flight at TBIT, in which case you need to go first through customs clearance, exit the terminal and you will see to your right Terminal 4. You can either walk to it or wait for the bus which arrives every 12-15 minutes. (its on the lower arrival level island in front of the terminal under sign "LAX shuttle airline connection".

     

    What if I land at LAX at 11am and next flight departs at T4 at 1pm, with luggage checked in, is there enough time?

     

    What if I arrive 11am at TBIT and connecting flight at 1pm at T4, if luggage checked in, will I have enough time?

     

    My mother and I requested a wheelchair to make our way through LAX. We thought that we would enjoy a nice afternoon wheeling throught the airport enjoying some wine and food and shot at Duty Free. HOWEVER, the LAX staff would not allow a person in a wheelchair through duty free and then confiscated the wheelchair leaving us stranded in the restaurant!!!! I'm stunned at how useless the customer service has been and how ignorant they are to accessibility issues!

    I will be arriving to terminal 3 (Alaskan Airlines) and planning to meet someone who will be arriving to terminal 6,7 0r 8 (international flight from United). No cell commication. Where would it be a good place to meet? (I am supposed to arrive 40 min earlier)

     

    Baggage claim is your best bet

    I am booking a flight from DFW to SYD via LAX. I arrive LAX T4 8:50pm and leave LAX TB at 10:20pm. Is this doable or to tight time wise?

     

    The terminals are arranged in a U-shape, wit TB (TBIT) in the curve and T4 at left. Make sure you have your bags pretagged to SYD at DFW. All you need to do is exit T4, turn left and walk over to TBIT. (the bus (LAX Bus A) option would give you not enough time as it runs only every 12-15 mins from T4-T8, on to T1 to T3 & back to TBIT. Keep in mind that you have to go through security check again at TBIT.

    I need to get connected to the AV Express vans from Terminal 7. I was told to get to the centre island sothat the drive could see me. Please give me some directrions

     

    The center island is on the lower arrival level of each terminal. It may also have a sign for the AV Express.

    I've been to LAX but not in years. Where is the cheapest parking before going to Tom Bradly International Terminal? I live in San diego

     

    From I-45 take Century Blvd. exit to Sepulveda Blvd.(crossing with 96th St.) drive north to Parking Lot C - a short-term/daily economy lot, with free shuttle service to the terminal.
