I see no problem. When he/she arrives, follow signs down to Arrivals, then exit terminal 1. Thereafter he/she will catch 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. His next stops will be Terminals 2, 3 and then TBIT (the international terminal) - 3 stops - 7 minutes. At TBIT (Tom Bradley Terminal) he/she will have to pass security check, before proceeding to gates. TBIT has the following gates: 101-106 & 119-123 on opposite sides. He/she can simply follow signs. (tell your child that any airport employee will be happy to direct him if he/she needs assistance. He/she will be just fine!!

Yes, you do need to go through international arrivals process by going through passport control, picking up bags, going through customs clearance, and re-checking in your bags (a 30-45 min. procedure) before proceeding to your Alaska departing gate.

There is a secured connector between those two terminals. You can also exit T4 and walk over to the TBIT terminal - the first one to your left.

You will either arrive at Terminal D (gates D1-12) or Terminal E (gates E1-24) - look at your ticket to see which gate you arrive at. Note also that on arrival you need to go through passport control, pick up your bags and go through customs clearance before you can exit your terminal.

Have you checked with your arriving airline if they would forward your bags to T2? Only if they don't will you have to re-check-in your bags. Without bags you would be able to walk from T1 to T2, while with bags you need to 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, and takes at most 3 minutes to get there. Either way, you will have to go through security again at T2. No matter what option, you have plenty of time.

T5, T6 & T7 are connected by an underground tunnel - At T5's arrival level follow signs to the escalator down to the tunnel. At T7 you need to pass security control again before proceeding to your departure gate. Estimate from gate to gate - half an hour.

1. Unless you have gone through US customs clearance by participating Canadian airport, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and re-check-in bag (the baggage tags should indicate layover and final destination) - Count on 30-45 mins. If both of your flights are by the same airline your bags will automatically be transferred; if a different airline, contact your first airline to make sure they transfer, as not all airlines do (if not you need to take your bag and re-check it in at the connecting airline's terminal. 2. TBIT is in the curve of a U-shaped terminal complex with terminals 4-8 to the right and 3-1 to the left. You can now transfer by foot or post-security connection from TBIT to either T3 or T4. All other terminals need to be accessed from TBIT 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 through T8, it then goes on to the opposite side with T1, T2, T3 and back to TBIT. Count on 2.5 minutes for each stop. When entering your connecting terminal you need to go through security again before proceeding to your gate. To find out which Terminal & gate you depart from, look at your ticket: T2 has gates 21-39; T3 30-39; T4 42-49; T5 40-69; T6 60-69; T7 70-77; T8 80-88.

I will be travelling on Qatar airways from Washington Dallas to Doha. I will be reaching at washington on a domestic flight at gate D10. My Doha flight is from gate A15. I have only 1 hr as transit time. Is this time enough to reach A15? Do I again need to go through secuity check again? Also how can I reach from D10 to A15. . (Aerotrain or shuttle is needed) ? If anyone has any experience with the same please share.

That depends on the airline and terminal. The Bradley terminal ("TBIT") is in the curve of the U-shaped terminal complex; T4-T8 are to the right, T3-T1 to the left. These are your connecting options: 1. Fom T3 or T4 to TBIT: (a) A secure connection is now available between the Tom Bradley and Terminals 3 & 4 at each side of it. (b) Outside of T3 or T4 you can walk to TBIT; (c) Arriving Qantas passengers at T4 will be picked up by special shuttle to TBIT. (d) T4 to T3: On arrival go down to baggage claim, step outside & take elevator/ecalator back up to departure level. From there walk to your left about 200 yards, past TBIT, to T3. 2. Terminals 5, 6 & 7 are connected by tunnel, and Terminal 7 has a walkway to Satellite/T8 and Terminal 6. 3. 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 through T8, it then goes on to the opposite side with T1, T2, T3 and back to TBIT. Count on 3 minutes for each stop.

1. On arrival at Tom Bradley you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and re-check-in bag (the tag should indicate layover and final destination Airport Codes)- note, however, that you need to contact British Airways to find out if they will transfer your bags automatically to your AA departure flight at Terminal 4 (not all airlines do that). If they don't - you need to take your bag along and check it in at Terminal 4 before proceeding to your gate. Count on 30-45 mins for international arrivals procedures. Terminal 4 is to the right of Bradley - a secured connection is available on foot. Otherwise, you would need to exit Bradley 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, in which case you would have to go through security check again at Terminal 4. Either way, you have plenty of time.

Thanks very much for that

Piece of cake! Checking in is at Terminal 4, which has gates 42-49. (Your ticket will indicate gate number. When you get in go straight to the ticket counter, pay and get your ticket, then deposit your bag next to the counter where it will be weighed (each bag incurs a charge, plus overweight charges (over 50 lbs). Your bag will get tagged, and passed on to get to the plane's hull. You can proceed from there to the departure level and to the gate area - signs will guide you. Make sure you arrive at the gate area half an hour prior to the plane's scheduled departure. Good luck!

Exit your arrivals terminal 4 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, to Terminal 6, which takes about 5 mins. At T6 you need to go through security check again and to your gate (T6 has gates 60-67). Hurry if your arriving plane is late!

If you arrive from an international flight you need to first go through passport security, collect your bags, go through customs check and then re-check-in your properly tagged bags before you can exit the terminal. The LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island in front of each terminal, under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', runs every 12-15 mins. Your next stop will be T6, T7, T8, T1 and T2 - 5 stops taking about 15 mins. At T2 (with gates 21-39) you need to go through security check, then proceed to your gates - 20 mins estimated.
