Hello, can anyone help me. I am travelling to the USA in August. I am arriving at terminal B at 0700 and leaving on Delta at terminal 5 at 1130....will that be enough time to go through customs and baggage and also does anyone know the quickest way to get to terminal 5....all answers are appreciated....thank you

Debra,
You will have enough time to clear immigrations, customs, and get to your departure gate. Below is a site that shows the layout of the terminals at LAX. There is a baggage recheck station just outside the customs hall, if your baggage is checked to your final destination you can recheck it there. If it is only checked to LAX you will have to take it with you to the Delta Terminal.
If you recheck your bags you can easily walk to terminal 5. I have flown into terminal B, cleared immigrations and customs, and walked to terminal 7 for a United flight, with a two hour window between arrival and departure.
Enjoy your visit.

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone knows the procedure for picking up luggage at LAX? I want to prepare my 12 & 13 year old neice & nephew (first time flying and they are alone) on what to expect when they land at LAX. It's an international flight from Toronto Canada (clearing customs in Toronto before they leave). Do they have to pick up their luggage on their own before coming to the arrivals area or is it like San Diego where anyone can come into the baggage area to help pick up luggage?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Warmly,

Joanna

Hi there, I am travelling to the US in August to see my daughter, and I have an eight hour stop-over at LA on the way to Charlotte, NC. Is that time enough to be able to go and have a quick look at Hollywood Boulevard and Rodeo Drive? If so, what is the best way to do this? Are there buses going to Hollywood from the airport, or should I take a taxi? About how much would it cost in a taxi to get from the airport to Hollywood? I have never been there before and would love to be able to take a walk up Hollywood Boulevard or Rodeo Drive, it would be amazing to be able to see them in person, instead of on Google Earth or TV. My flight from Auckland gets into LA at 2.30 p.m. and the flight to Charlotte leaves LA at 10.40 p.m. Is that enough time????

Hello

I'll be connecting from Bangkok to Washington Dulles via Los Angeles on United Airlines all the way.

My connection time at LAX is a little over 1:30, arriving at 11:10am, will I be able to make the connection? Do you know what is the minimum legal time for this connection? I understand since it's United it's all going to be in Terminal 7.

My boss did this booking for me, I'd have chosen a broader time myself but well. I'm travelling on a non-US (UK) passport.

Thanks in advance!

Anonymous (not verified)

United will be responsible for your baggage, just double check with the UNITED Counter agent, to book your bags all the way through to Bangkok, when you get to LAX, and you have time go to the check baggage area that your bag does not come out in lax, past experience, sometimes origin departure agent forget to check your bags all the way through to final destination.

United will connect you with next available flight if you miss the connecting flight.

I will be arriving at lax from Melbourne Qantas then transferring to Tom Bradley for a flight to Vancouver with Canada Air, would you know if I can purchase duty free Alcohol etc at Tom Bradley after clearing customs.

Anonymous (not verified)

Jean,
Your Qantas flight from MEL will arrive at the Tom Bradley Terminal at LAX. All Air Canada flights are in Terminal 2. You will need to take the LAX inter-terminal shuttle bus over to Terminal 2. After you have passed through check in and security in Terminal 2, there is a Duty Free shop you can buy alcohol at and take onboard with you to Canada.

hi, we are arriving 12am in LAX and our next flight is at 8am. Can we stay in the airport and just wait for our flight. Is there any waiting area that we could stay?

Dr O

Dr O

You may wait in the airport terminal as you wish. Different terminals in LAX have diffent area allocated for passenger as waiting areas.
If you are willing to spend some MONEY you can find a Airport Lounge to Spend your time in Comfort !!!!!!!!!!! Check out the Web site: PriorityPass.com for locations of the airport Clubs.

I will be meeting my daughter and new grandson in Bradley Thomas when they clear Customs from AU to help her with the final leg to Texas. Any suggestions on where to meet so we do not miss each other. She will not have an USA cell phone. Thank you

Hoping someone can advise if there is any Public Transport that can take us from Terminal B to the cruise terminal for a Royal Caribbean cruise. We arrive from Australia at 9.45am on Sunday 20th Sept. giving ourselves plenty of time as the cruise leaves at 5pm. The last time we did this trip, we were charged an enormous amount for a taxi, so if anyone out there could give an approximate amount for a taxi fare, that would be great too. Thanks heaps.....and greetings from "Down Under".

Dr O

Your Options:

***www.supershuttle.com
LAX to San Pedro prices are $17 pp for a shared van or $73 for your own 7 passenger, $93pp for you own 9 passenger.

***Zippy's Shuttle. $55 one way for 4.

***PrimeTime Shuttle at $16 pp., each way.

***Take a taxi $45 flat rate up to 4 people. Straight shot to the pier with no stopping to make any pickups along the way.
The flat rate is posted on a board near the cab stand both at LAX and at the pier. The meter always rolls but it is still a flat rate.

Being frequent travellers, I have learned to always confirm rate details prior to hiring a taxi.

Final Detail:
I guess given the difference in experiences here, the best recommendation is "caveat emptor", buyer beware. Verify the details (flat rate -or- metered rate) prior to hiring the taxi. Either way, its going to be at least $40 by taxi or $17 per person by shared ride shuttle.

I will be transitting through LAX between the UK and NZ May/June this year. Outwards it's easy as it's a touchdown for fuel, but on the way back I've only managed to get seats on 2 different carriers, Virgin and Air New Zealand.

My (Virgin) flight will land in Terminal 2, and the Air New Zealand flight departs Terminal 2, so technically I would not actually need to exit onto US soil, however I am aware of customs requirements even in the transit lounge when staying on the same flight, and I am guessing I know the answer to the following question.

Given I am staying in the same terminal, will I still need to clear customs, collect bags, exit terminal 2, recheck bags, go through customs again and re-enter terminal 2? If so, would 2 hours and 45 minutes be enough (bearing in mind a fiasco at Chicago that resulted in us missing our connection some time back when travelling to Houston!)

I've read a few responses on here, but as they all involve a change of terminal I'm not sure if the same applies if you aren't leaving the airport and touching US soil.

Thanks :O)

2 different Planes, same Terminal, You will still need to collect Baggage from baggage area then check in with your transit flight. YES you will need to exit customs and then recheck in at counter.
