    How long will it take to walk from Terminal 1 (Southwest) to Bradley International, with luggage? Arrive 10:50 p.m., depart 1:30 am. Enough time?

  • Do I need recheck in my baggage?

    My connective flights start from SJ to LA, and LA to Shanghai, there's only 1h40mins between the 2 filghts, can i check in my baggage all the way through to shanghai without recheckin when arrive LA?(Both flights are AA)

     

    When checking in your bag at SJ, make sure the tags show LAX & Shanghai APs (SHA or PVG) so they will be automatically transferred to your next flight. However, on your return you need to get your bags, go through customs clearance and recheck-in your bag before proceeding to SJ.

    how do you get to southwest terminal from delta terminal

     

    SW is at T1, Delta at T5. After arrival, board LAX bus Route A outside on the isle and marked 'LAX shuttle airline connection' which makes its run from T1 to T2, T3, TBIT, T4, T5 - 5 stops.It runs every 12-15 mins and will take at most 15 mins.

    I will be picking up my passenger tonight from Air New Zealand flight from London. Where do I picke her up? Thank you

     

    I suppose she arrives at Terminal 2. - 1. Your best bet: If you pick up an arriving passenger, use the free Cell Phone Lot, now at the intersection of 96th Street & Vicksburg Avenue in Westchester, and adjacent to the southwest corner of Economy Lot C, and is a quarter of a mile from the 96th Street Bridge entrance into the passenger terminal complex--stay with your car until your party has picked up luggage and calls you to be picked up at the curb. 2. OR: park in the short-term lot and meet her in the baggage claim area (look at the overhead screen for flight listing).

     

  • TBIT Baggage handling for Frontier

    We are arriving into Tom Bradley and wondering if AA handle baggage for Frontier?

     

    Arriving at TBIT (Bradley) and connecting flight on Frontier, which is in Terminal 4: 1. International arrivals are required to clear customs, which means you have to pick up your bag from baggage claim, then pass through customs first. Outside customs, you can recheck your bags with most carriers, and your bags should already be pre-tagged (at your initial airport) to go to the final destination. 2. T4 is to the right as you exit TBIT - you may walk or use 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 get around

    Im a teen traveling for the 1st time by myself, after arriving, how can a get directions to get my bags and how to get to the area were relatives can pick me up?

     

    Glad to be of service: first open www.ifly.com - under "Airport Search" type into the 'Find an Airport' the LAX Code for the Los Angeles Airport. To the left, click 'Terminal Maps' which will show you the layout of each of the 9 terminals. Your airline ticket will show which one you arrive at (Bradley Terminal is also called TBIT, or on your ticket it may refer to TB, and terminals T1 to T8). This page will show you the basic layout of the terminals (U-shape - with TBIT at the bottom. Scroll further down and you will see descriptions of each of those terminals. Upon your Arrivals: if you arrive from outside the country, you need to go through the TSA clearance first. Otherwise, you proceed from your gate to the baggage claim level, which is clearly marked, where you pick up your checked bag on one of the carousels (check the screen for your flight number), if you have one. You can either meet your party there (after they parked in the short-term garage across from the terminal) or have them park in the free Cell Phone Lot (click at LAX Airport Parking for details). I also urge you to click on 'Traveler Tips' on top center, and open "First Time Flyer" which should answer your basic questions. Have a wonderful time.

    Could you confirm where are the lounges? we are flying with virgin

     

    While LAX maps only show airline lounges in the international terminal, most of which serve a number of airlines belonging to a group, Virgin Atlantic (Terminal 2, tel. 800-862-8621) or Virgin America (Terminal 3 - tel. 877-359-8474) may get you specifics.

    Leaving TPA for LAX connecting to TBIT with Philippine Airlines. Will my baggage be check thru PAL?

     

    Yes, make sure that the tags will show your final destination. However, be aware upon your return that all international arrivals need to go through TSA clearance.

  • Purchase local phone/sim card

    When I arrive at Tom Bradley International terminal is there somewhere I can buy a local phone (eg AT&T GoPhone) or prepaid simcard so I can make local calls while in the USA?

     

    you have 3 choices: (a) go straight to the information counter; (b) call the information center at 310-646-5252 or (c) send an e-mail to info@lawa.org (reply may take time). Most large airports have such service.

     

  • Crime Report- chcked items were stolen!
    May 30, 2011

    Over the past years, LAX security agents have proven to have low moral and ethical qualms. On a recent flight from St. Louis through Los Angel to Taiwan (American Airlines Flight 443, 05/23/11; EVA Airlines, Flight BR15, 05/24/11), my Mom and I lost almost everything in our checked luggages. When we got to Taiwan, our clothes, bags, shoes, underwears, body lotions and shower gels, hand therapys, candies, vitamins, cosmetics, and even kitchen stuffs were gone/ missing. We feel very violated and disrespected!!!! For us, that was not merely a stealing but was a ROBBERY! The total of our loss was around US$ 4660. We are trusting these people to with our valuables and personal items and this problem still exists! As much money as tourists spend each year on flights we should be able to feel comfortable traveling with our things!!! I expected a much higher level of service from the people that are empowered to protect us from terrorist activities, and I am quite disappointed. I question the standards and background checks of those who are placed at the iron gate against potential terrorist activity.
