We are travelling from Miami to LAX to connect on a flight to Vancouver. From what I can tell we will land in Terminal 4 and leave from Terminal 3. Any idea on how long that will take to change terminals?
My friend has a layover from Austria to JFK at LAX. I am meeting him at LAX for his 90minute layover. Any suggestions on where to meet? Will i have to go thru airport security?
My friend and I are both travelling from Sydney to JFK via LAX on the same day and almost at the same time but on different airlines (don't ask!). He's flying Delta and I'm with Qantas - can anyone suggest a good place to meet up in LAX for the 90 mins we'll be there at the same time? I'm assuming we won't need to clear immigration etc as we'll be in transit. And if anyone can suggest where we should meet up in JFK when we get there, that would be great.
Thanks.
hi Katherine
I would not suggest you to meet your friend in LAX as it's a busy airport. As you are trying to get to JFK via LAX, you will be entering the US which you will have to clear immigration and custom then connect to a domestic flight. 90 minutes layover is very tight for this kind of schedule.
Hi.
I'm due to arrive at L A airport in December from New Zealand and i'm going to Cleveland..what terminal to i need to go to and do i have to collect my luggage and go through customs.
Cheers
you don't have to pick up your luggage if it's an international fly - be sure to let them know your destination is Cleveland.
Actually, you MUST pick up your luggage at LAX to go through customs. You go through customs and immigrations at your first point in the United States, Los Angeles, in this case.
Do I have to pick up my bags if my flight from SAN is on Eagle and the connecting flight in LAX is on AA?
Are there any shower rooms at the LAX airport? How much does it cost?
Thank you.
i am arriving early in the morning and have all day to see sights , is there anywhere to store my luggage ?
I will be arriving in LAX July 31st 2009 and this is my first time flying to LAX airport. I have reviewed the map but I'm unable to pull up the terminal. I just trying to get a general idea of what, and where I need to go once I get off the plan to collect my baggage. Can someone please assist.
I am coming from Sydney AUS and transitting through LA to Vancouver. A friend is meeting me in LA to fly the last leg with me and my children. Can you tell me at what point in the disimbark, go through customs, get bags, go through security, exit terminal 4 process; will he be able to meet up with me?
Last time I was in LAX (12 months ago) it went something like this.
Upon arriving you will be processed (photo and fingerprint), collect your bags, and possibly bag checked before leaving the arrivals area.
You may be able to check your bags immediately outside the doors for your onward flight or may need to take them with you to the next check in, they will let you know.
Once you pass this bag check area you are in the terminal proper and your friend can meet you there. This area is on the land side of terminal security so no need for them to pass security checkpoint to get there.
Although you are only in-transit at LAX you may still need to complete the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to travel. Beware web sites that charge for filling in the form. The US Government offer it as a free service. Go to http://travel.state.gov and look for a link called 'Travel without a visa'
Good Luck and Bon Voyage....
We are taking a flight from Las Vegas with American Airlines to connect with a Qantas flight to Melbourne. The Qantas flight leaves from Terminal B?
Can someone tell me if we can check our baggage right through to Melbourne from Las Vegas or will we have to pick it up at LAX. Also, is Terminal B the International Terminal. I notice on this site Qantas is also listed under Terminal 4. If it is the international terminal, what would be the best way to get between terminals with four large cases.
Thanks alot
We have a small group of people arriving ex various flights from 12.30pm onwards, but are all departing American Airlines Terminal 4 at either 9.30pm and 10.30pm same evening.
Have you a room that we can rent, with seating and with toilets/showers nearby.
If so, can you provide an estimated cost and to whom I apply to reserve this room.
These people would have all come from 12/13 hour flights, and then travel onto Nassau to a conference that evening, and a shower would be most welcoming. There would be about 15 people.
Thanks

I have friends arriving on Mar 7 from Papeete/Tahiti to LAX on QF3827. They plan to leave for Miami March 10 on AA0252 and would like to leave 2 suitcases at LAX. Where can they leave their luggage upon arrival from Tahiti?
We are leaving out of terminal 4 at 8:30 am and I would like to know how long security will take. Thank you.
I am arriving in Terminal 4 (gate unknown at this time) and will be flying out of Terminal 4 after a one hour layover.
Does anyone know how I can meet up with my daughter, who lives in LA, and hand her a present without having to go through security again?
Thanks
AH
Either you will have to go out of the secured area and re-enter it, or she would have to enter the secured area. The latter will not be possible unless she is an airline employee and/or has a ticket for traveling that day also.
In a nutshell, most likely you'd have to exit the secured area to give her the gift. Sorry.
I am travelling with 10 cell phones to LA but i am there in transit only for about 3 hours. If I am in transit at LA airport, do I need to clear customs?

Hi, i am arriving in LA from Melbourne Australia at 7.30am on Nov 10th 2008 and i have a connecting flight until 11.20pm. Are there any lounges like in Singapore where you pay for a shower, bed and food?
Can someone help me pleaseeeee... i can't see myself waiting for 10-12 hrs without any rest.
I read there are some hotels inside the airport (?) but the link didnt work. http://www.lawa.org/lax/default.cfm
Someone told me that if i try to get out from the airport for some hrs its not worth it as the security will take hours to clear and i might end up paying more money for my baggage.
Any advice, suggestions?
Help me!

Hi we are arriving on Qantas flight QF11 from Sydney Australia at 9.50am 27th December 2008 at terminal 4. We are then looking at flying to Las Vegas & all the flights we have looked at depart termial 4 ( is this the same terminal that our Qantas flight arrives at & if so how long should i allow beteewn flights to get luggage & check in to the Las Vegas flight. The flight we are looking at booking leaves LAX terminal 4 at 1.10pm.
Any info would be appreciated first time in America
Thanks.
No matter what airline or what airport, you must always go through customs and immigration at the VERY FIRST PORT OF CALL.
Even if you are connecting at the same terminal, you must collect your bags and go through this process, before you catch your connecting flight. I always allow a minimum of 2 hours between flights to do this and allow for a delay. You will also have your photo and finger prints taken when going through immigration. This process has been in place since 9/11.
When you arrive at T4 you will need to clear immigration then pick up your bags and go thru customs,
Once you have done that you will notice some staff asking where are you going to (sometimes you may need to ask them) then ask you to put your bags on the xray, leave your bags to them and then proceed upstairs (if you have a boarding pass) go thru security and then check which gate your flight is at.
When you are in the baggage hall their are QANTAS reps around to help you if need be.
NB: regardless what people say YOU MUST PICK UP YOUR BAGS!!!!!! Some travel agents have no idea!!! FACT!!
I fly to LA 8-10 times a year
You will arrive in Terminal 4. Most international flights normally arrive at Tom Bradley, but Qantas moved to Terminal 4 a few years ago. You are going to have to clear immigration, pick up your bags and then clear customs. It has been a year since we last flew from Sydney, but I think it takes about 1.5 hrs.
If your bags are checked in to your final destination (by Qantas) then you shouldn't have to handle them again. I think if you have connecting flights, that there is an area after customs where you can put your bags. Qantas should have some information on this for you or American Airlines. They are airline partners, so even if you booked the flights seperately, I think they should be able to link the bookings.
As you arrive in Terminal 4 and are flying out of terminal 4 you should NOT exit the security area.... There should be a way for you to go to the departures area without having to go through security again. If for some reason your flight arrives in Tom Bradley instead of Terminal 4 then there is a walkway that you can use to avoid exiting and re-entering the terminal and having to go through security again.
Sorry I can't be more specific we don't normally take a connecting flight.
If Qantas doesn't tag your bags all the way to Vegas, then you may have to exit security and check in for the next flight. If so, allow 1.5 hours for this on top of the 1.5 hours to clear immigration and customs.
In case you are interested I would suggest wearing layers as the immigration line can get quite hot at times. Even in Dec.
Hope this helps.
Thanks also for some great info....same deal with me Qantas then American Airlines to Indianapolis.....
The 'Panic Button' has come OFF>>>>>>> Thanks
It is a different terminal. You will arrive at the Tom Bradley terminal. You should allow about 1 to 2 hours between your flights in order to clear customs & immigration. Once you get your bags you can take a shuttle that will take you to terminal 4. Shuttles run frequently.

I lost my LG Chocolate Touch cellphone at terminal 4, in the bathroom near gate 30 on Sunday, April 19 around 5:30pm. The phone is a touch screen; the backing is silver with purple accents and has a white, silicon case on it. I did not have time to check the lost and found but when I called it last, someone said it was in the lost and found! If found, please give me a call at 8086518782. Thank you.
