T7 to T4, 90 minutesOct 19, 201211Am flying into T6 on a United flight from Sydney. Have 90 minutes to get to T4 for an American Eagle flight back home - it was the only way to do it without a 24 hour delay. Will have carryon only. What is the best, fastest way to get from T7 to T4? Will I have to go through security again? I will only have a carryon bag, nothing to declare. Any help appreciated!dautenposted on Fri, Oct 19[ Reply ]1 person likes this post [ Like ]On arrival at LAX you need to go through passport check, go through customs clearance and proceed to the ground level; there go down the escalator and take the tunnel to T5; go up the escalator at T5, step out and walk to the left to T4. You will have to go through security check at T4 before moving on to your connecting gate. You have enough time.froct12posted on Fri, Oct 19

Delta/KLM San Diego to AmsterdamOct 11, 201210We'll be flying from San Diego to LAX on a Delta flight operated by Skywest, then getting on a KLM flight to Amsterdam (on the way to Bucharest). What will we have to do when we land at LAX?BJinSDposted on Wed, Oct 10While I have no Skywest listing, Delta uses at LAX Airport Terminal 5 and KLM Terminal 2. On arrival at T5, you need to exit the terminal and take 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 stops will be T6, T7, T8, around the bend to T1 and T2 - five stops or about 12 mins. At T2 you will have to go through security check before proceeding to your gate. HOWEVER, make sure that Skywest will transfer your bags to KLM connecting flight - if not you need to claim your bag on arrival and re-check it in with KLM at T2.thoct12posted on Thu, Oct 11

T5 to TBOct 5, 201210I am arriving at T5 on a domestic flight at 930 PM and leave from TBIT at 1130 PM. No checked bags. Is this enough time? What is the minimum transfer time?ACCposted on Fri, Oct 5As you have no bags to deal with, you have plenty of time for transfer at LAX: I suggest you walk: exit T5, walk over past T4, around the corner to TBIT, go through security and on to your connecting gate. (The LAX blue bus on the isle across from each terminal runs every 12-15 mins, but goes the other way around, making seven stops at each terminal to TBIT - another 18 mins or so).froct12posted on Fri, Oct 5

connecting flightOct 4, 201210how much time will it take me from international airport to terminal 5?Patrizposted on Wed, Oct 3At LAX, arriving at the Bradley (TBIT) terminal and exiting it, you have two choices to get to T5: Either walk (to the right) around the bend passing T4 to T5 - taking about 10 mins; or using the shuttle bus route A on lower arrivals level island, which runs about every 15-20 mins and would take about 5 mins. In both instances you need to go through security check at T5 before moving on to your gate. (T5 has gatess 50-69).thoct12posted on Thu, Oct 4

Delta term 5 to American Eagle term 4Oct 4, 201211There was a shuttle inside security when Delta had a codeshare with AE. It may have stopped. Do I have to exit security on 5 and go thru it again on 4?RWSposted on Wed, Oct 31 person likes this post [ Like ]At LAX Terminals 4 and 5 are not connected. You need to exit T5, walk over to T4 & then go through security check at T5.

connect to TB from terminal 5Oct 3, 201221I am arrving via Delta at Terminal 5, then retrieve my baggae and proceed to tom Bradly termunal for my international flight and check in at Philippine airlines. How do I get to TB after getting my baggages? Thank you.bea alonsoposted on Wed, Oct 31 person likes this post [ Like ]On arrival at LAX Airport at T5 you have two options: (a) exit T5 and walk to the left to T4, walk around the curve to Bradly - 10 mins.; (b) 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 the next stops are T6 to T8, around the bend to T1 to T3 and around the curve to Bradley - 7 stops or 18 mins. In either case count in the extra time for baggage checkin, security check & gate connection. At Bradley, past ticket counters A to F are the escalators (at A & F) leading to the TSA Screening, and past that you have in the center bus gates 107-112 and bus gates 113-118, as well as Gates 101-108 to the left, and gates 119 -123 to the right. Look at overhead screens to find your connecting gate number.wesep12posted on Wed, Oct 3

Short layover/checked luggageOct 3, 201210I am flying IAD to LAX next week on UAL 731 (777 aircraft) and then departing LAX to San Luis Obispo 46 mins later. According to my research I will most likely be arriving at gate 74 and departing from 71. Should I be concerned about my checked luggage getting on my flight to SBP? I'm elite status on UAL but with such a short layover I worry my bag won't get transferred in time. Thanks!beccal18posted on Tue, Oct 2You won't have to worry about baggage transfer if your flights are via United /United Express. However, keep in mind that United uses T6 (gates 60-77)& T7 (gates 70-77), and United Express uses gates 80-88. If you need to transfer from T to T, keep in mind that T6 & T7 are connected by a tunnel, and T8 has a short walkway to T7. Transfer would also involve going through security check before proceeding to gate. You would have to hurry. Do scan the overhead screens on arrival for your departing gate!wesep12posted on Wed, Oct 3

Can I make TBIT to Terminal 4 in 2 hrs?Oct 1, 201210My trip is Sydney-Los Angeles-Orlando...arriving on Qantas to TBIT (Terminal B), then have only 2 hrs before I have to leave from Terminal 4 on American for Florida. Will I get my checked bag and go thru Customs then check it in again? How do I get from TBIT to Customs to Terminal 4? The 12-15 min for shuttle bus I'm reading about seems like a long time, better to walk/run? Would like to know if this is a nail-chewing, hectic deal time-wise or no biggie. Thank you experienced travelers!VSposted on Sun, Sep 301. You need to contact Qantas to make sure they transfer your bags at LAX to your connecting American Airlines flight - if not you need to take your bag to Terminal 4 and re-check it in with AA. 2. Qantas is listed as being in Terminals 4 (gates 42-49) and the International Bradley terminal ("TBIT" or TB" - gates 107-123) - you ticket should indicate terminal/ gate. If arriving at T4, Qantas bus will shuttle you to TBIT for Customs procedure. 3. When exiting T4, TBIT is to your left around the bend, a 5-minute walk (the bus goes the other way (TBIT to T4-T8 over to T1-T3, back to TBIT). Whether you need to re-check-in your bag at T4 or go straight on through security and on to your gate - you have enough time.mooct12posted on Mon, Oct 1

security at t7Sep 18, 201210I hope someone can help me here ,I will be arriving from Auckland to LAX in October,Now I understand that I have to clear customs and irrigation and thats all good,but what I want to know is how is security at Terminal 7? I wish to avoid the Nude O Scopes and only proceed through the metal detectors,does anyone have any recent first hand experience that they can pass on to me that would be fantastic, have never flown into LA so the more info I have the better Cheersmr_mojoposted on Mon, Sep 17I would not worry too much about the 'Nood O Scopes' - they have made improvements where body parts are no longer 'detailed'. However, you quote Terminal 7 (one of nine terminals at LAX) - this must be your connecting terminal, as it only serves domestic flights of Great Lakes & United Airlines. Do open www.ifly.com/lax & open "Terminal Map", then scroll down to the detailed text which should give you a good idea as to 'irrigation' (immigration) procedures and transfer options. Note: Qantas uses T5 & TBIT; Air NZ T2; Cathey Pacific TBIT - Cheers!tusep12posted on Tue, Sep 18

honolulu to londonSep 15, 201210we have 95 mins gap between arrival at LAX from HNL into Terminal 2 (Hawaiin Airlines) and connecting flight from Terminal B to LHR (British Arways). We are a family of 5 and I have been told subsequently that it is tight - we cammot change our tickets. As we are British will it take longer to connect? Will we make it? How much time could we save if we only have carry ons? Why do we have to collect our bags in between flights? I am panicking even though the flight is not until next July. Please help.debtrueposted on Sat, Sep 15Since you are considered a domestic arrival at LAX (only on your return from UK you will be an international arrival & need to go through customs procedure) you can immediately head to the Terminal 2 exit and take 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 stops will be T3, and around the corner to TB (by that time the new Bradley terminal (TB or TBIT) should be completed, being built behind the present one). You simply enter TB and pass security check and you are on to your gate. As to baggage: You need to find out if Hawaiian is transferring your checked bags to British airlines; also check their 'baggage' or 'luggage' listing for their pricing of each bag (which constantly changes). Review their freight rules and charges for comparison. As a general rule, airlines charge a set amount for each of the first 2 bags, not over 50 lbs, with higher charges for each following bag. Note that if Hawaiian does not forward bags to British airlines, you would need to take along your bags and re-check them in at TB. Even with that scenario, you should be able to make your connection on time.saaug12posted on Sat, Sep 15
