LAX Terminals Transfers
Between terminals transfer
Free wheelchair accessible shuttle bus serves all terminals around the central loop.Walking - It takes about 30 minutes to walk from T1-T7 following the U.
Shuttle - The LAX A Shuttle ("Airline Connections" - board at the BLUE signs) makes the loop to all terminals, going T1 to T7, then back to T1.
I will be arriving from NZ and then transferring to a flight to Washington DC. Do I check my luggage in at teh international terminal or pick it up and then take it with me to one of the other 7 termianls and check it in there?
Thanks
I have 30 min connection time for united flight between terminal 8 and terminal 7 ; will I have to clear security - is 30 mins long enough to make the connection
If you are just catching another connecting flight then you shouldn't need to go thru security again.. unless you decide to eat outside of the terminal... or if you are catching an international flight.. then you'll need to go thru security. 30 mins should be enough, just make sure you don't eat or anything.
i will be traveling to LAX from Sydney and i need to know will i need to transfer terminals to get to alaska airlines or are they in the same terminal please someone help i leave on the 26th of this month
When you get to LAX you'll need to go thru immigration, get your luggage, go thru customs, then get your bags transferred to your connecting flight, then head on over to terminal 3 (fairly close), and check in there.
i'll be travelling via vaustralia from brisbane to l.a. and will be arriving at terminal B at 7am. my connecting flight to orlando boarding at terminal 5 is at 10:20am. Is 3 hrs and 20 mins enough time fro me to get out of customs with my baggage and check in for my connecting flight? where is terminal B anyway? i can't seem to locate in the map.
If you are on QF16 from BNE to LAX then you should actually arrive at Terminal 4. Good news this is right next to Delta at Terminal 5 so you can walk and should have plenty of time to make your flight.
I'm thinking terminal B is the Tom Bradley international terminal. I just went thru there on a flight back from Vietnam. I had 2hrs 30 mins to get thru immigration, customs, re-check in, and TSA.. barely made it. I'm thinking you'll be fine with that amount of time. Just before you exit the international terminal be sure to give them your bags for transfer to connecting flight.. so you don't have to carry them over to terminal 5 and get them checked in.
Hello,
I want to know if I arrive to Lax terminal 1 from southwest airlines and I want to connect to United airlines (terminal 7) will I have enough time to get to terminal 7 in 50 minutes before my United arlines flight? I will have a carry on bag. Do I have to go through customs?
Thxs Rock
Customs? no.. This is just for international flights. 50 minutes should be enough. Just make sure you utilize shuttle. United (just my opinion) check in at LAX is pretty screwed up. Make sure you go into the kiosk line and check in there (assuming you don't have a boarding pass for UA).
My son is traveling from South Carolina to LAX on a domestic flight. He is then taking an international flight with V Australia to Brisbane. First question, does he have to recheck his baggage for the international flight? Second question, he will be arriving at terminal #5 @ 07:40 PM and departing from terminal #3 @ 10:25PM will that give him enough time to get through ticketing and security?
hello,
my travel agent has book my flights and has organised as follows:
from Sydney, Australia I arrive at terminal 5 then have an hour and ten minutes until my plane to Mexico departs from terminal 2.
Is this enough time for me to change over and will my luggae get transfered in time?
Thanks Ross
I was a travel agent up until two weeks ago. Unless it is the same airline and it is a through-fare, it is definitely not enough time. Even if it is a through-fare, it probably still isn't long enough. Best case scenario, you will need to go through customs, move your luggage and get to the other gate.. worst case, you will need to go through customs, collect your luggage, re-check-in in the other terminal and get to the gate. Go back to your agent and get them to check it and get it approved with the airline(s), because I think you'll miss your flight.
I arrive from Sydney at Terminal 5 (on Delta) and have a Flight to Vancouver at Terminal 3 (on Alaska). I have 2 and a half hours between flights. Is this enough time to make it?
I'll be arriving on American Airlines from SFo, and need to transfer to Quantas at Bradley international. Do I need to pick up my luggage in LAX and transfer it to the International terminal? How do I get from terminal 4 to international -Quantas?
Thanks for info. How do I get from terminal 4 to Bradley International?
T 4 is next to Bradley. Once you exit T4, it is only 5 to 10 min walk to Bradley. However, you probably have to go through security again. It is tricky because you will be on an international flight, so better to find out if you need to get luggage from T4 and take with you to Bradley. Also, you may need to check in at least 2 hours before flight departure at Bradley.
Just make sure when you check your bag in at wherever you start, the agent checks your bag all the way through to your final destination. Also make sure you have a copy of your Qantas information directly from the airlines site (not handwritten or typed yourself), as this is the only way they can check your baggage if its not already in your information on their computer.
My daughter is traveling abroad this spring. She will be flying from Chicago to LAX on united airlines, then flying on Air New Zealand from LAX. Does she need to get her luggage when she arrives in LAX and then recheck the luggage on her flight to NEW Zealand on Air New Zealand? What is the transfer time from Terminal 7 to terminal 2? Thanks
United and ANZ are both part of the STAR Alliance. Therefore in Chicago your daughter will be able to check her baggage all the way to NZ. She will not need to retrieve her bags in LAX- they will transfer it automatically for her.
It is always a good idea once the Chicago agent tags the bags that you read and verify the end destination on the tag. Sometimes agents screw up and the bags either are mis-routed or only make a partial journey. Not a good way to start the trip!
Transfer time between T7 and T2 is 20 minutes at a brisk walk. She can also wait for the shuttle bus to come around- should take 30 minutes by that method.
We are travelling through American Airline landing at terminal 4 and our next flight is southwest airline which is at terminal 3, what we should we go to terminal 3
hello, I am currently planning to go from Sydney to Sacramento flying different airlines. So far I have gathered that I arrive in Tom Bradley Terminal on my international flight with Virgin, then I need to take a connecting flight with United Airlines to Sacramento.
Could you tell me if I need to check my luggage out when taking the connecting flight? Will I need to check-in at United Airline counter? How much time should I give in-between the two flights?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
I will be traveling from Cincinnati (CVG) to LAX on Delta, then LAX to Brisbane (BNE) on V Australia. Any guidance on navigating between Delta (terminal 5) and V Australia (terminal 3)? More importantly, can my bags be checked in at CVG and go directly to BNE or do I need to claim the bags in LAX and re-check prior to the V Australia flight??
How long does it take to walk from Terminal 4 to terminal 2 ???
Better to take the shuttle ?
please advise !!!!
I'm on a United flight # 0934 which also is US Air # 6606. This flight arrives @ terminal 7.
I have a US Air # 152 which departs from terminal 1.
How do I get from one terminal to the other without going through TSA again?
is there a shuttle that I can take from terminal 7 to terminal 1 without having to go through TSA again?
In January 2010 Ill arrive at LAX on Continental which is at Terminal 6 I think. I need to go from Continental over to Terminal 7 or 8??? in order to connect with a United Express flight. How long will it take to walk/run from my Continental gate to United Express? I arrive on Continental at 9:25am and my United Express flight leaves at 10:15am My problem is United Express did NOT tell me they "close" their flights 20 minutes before departure. (I learned that AFTER I bought my ticket on United Ex.) So, Ill only have till 9:55am to get over to United Express. If you know the LAX airport please advise. Ive heard several different stories already. Should I change my ticket to a later flight on United Express? Also, are the jets often in traffic jams out on the tarmac at LAX? I dont know if Ill arrive on time at my arrival gate yet. Also, do they have those electric carts to pick up people for rides inside the terminal? Thanks!
The good thing for you is that going from Continental at Terminal 6 to United Express (likely Terminal 8), you don't have to clear security again. It's a bit of a walk, but assuming your arriving flight is on time, you'll be alright.

I would be much obliged if somebody can advise me. I will be arriving from an international flight from Melbourne, Australia (via Qantas) at the Tom Bradley International Terminal. My connecting flight is a Continental domestic flight from LAX to Newark Liberty Airport in NJ (with a 4-hour gap between arrival at & departure from LAX).
If I have checked bags from my Qantas flight, I know that I have to retrieve them after passport control when entering the US, before taking the bags through customs.
After customs whilst exiting the airport, do I simply re-deposit my bags into the luggage conveyor system at the Tom Bradley Terminal, expecting that they will be tranferred and loaded onto my Continental flight from Terminal 6. Or do I have to take the baggage in a cart and check them in again at Terminal 6?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Bill.
Hi Bill, what happens is after you clear customs & immigration, they will direct you to another area where they will take your bags again and send them on to your next destination,( this is proir to exiting ) then you won't see your bags again till you arrive at Newark, if they have been locked you will be asked to leave them unlocked for US domestic flights ( so have your keys handy), You can then walk around to terminal 6,
I am an Aussie but live in Tn, so i do this trip at least once a year. Safe travels.
The above is correct about your check in bags except that I believe that if you have the lock that American customs can unlock and relock (any travel goods store can help you) - But one thing if you buy any duty free liquid (perfume or alcohol) make sure you lock it into you checked in bag 1st otherwise your will have to dispose of it at the domestic terminal.
Walking is good for most people but if you are carrying or trolling bags they do become heavy and/or bothersome, there is a free shuttle bus circuiting around to all terminals - they are constant (the airport reports it take about 35mins) but from Tom Bradley to Terminal 6 should be about 15 - 20 mins.
I also do aust to usa yearly.
Bill
Once you come through customs, there will be airline representatives there to take your previously tagged bags off you for transfer to your next flight. You then will stroll to Terminal 6
Please note - if you are flying Qantas you will probably be arriving at American Airlines terminal (#4), not Tom Bradley.

David
As soon as you clear customs, there should be a continental checkin near the exit for international arrivals. Check in there, but you will have to change terminals to get to the continental terminal.

Hi, I bought the Delta ticket from San Diego to Orlando via LAX.
The flight from San Diego will arrive LAX terminal 4 at 9:25pm.
The flight from LAX to Orlando will depart at 10:15pm at Terminal 5.
How long will it take to walk from terminal 4 to 5?
Do I have enough time for the transfer?
Do I need to go through the security queue in both terminals?
I've never been to LAX. Im flying in from Indianapolis arriving Terminal 5 at 6:20pm. How far of a walk is it to the bus of Bakersfield public transportation ground Bus? Will I have enough time to get onto the bus. Id hate to be left behind after my long flight.
I'm arriving from london no T4 (virgin atlantic) and my nex flight will be from TB (Ait Tahiti Nui) how long take walk from two terminals ? Better to take shuttle ?
As i have just one ticket (but two different airlines copanies) what about my luggage ? need to collect and check-in again ?
Thanks
We did this a few years ago, and we had to get our luggage and re-check it with Air Tahiti Nui. It was a LONG WALK! I would take a bus or cab if I knew how far it was and dragging luggage!
Hi My husband and I arrive from Australia to international terminal. We need to catch a flight from Terminal 3 I believe Virgin America would you know how long it would take to get to that terminal? Thanks Anyone.
Sorry I should have added times to my reply for you...
I've walked that distance and it took 20 min.
By the bus, it was only 8-10 min (including the stops).
If you don't have much luggage, after you exit the building, just walk to your RIGHT. First will be T4, then T5, then T6. It's not bad, considering that sometimes the shuttle takes about 5-10 min wait in between each one...
Please advice the time to walk or by shuttle from terminal 6 to international terminal.
Hello

Hello,
We are flying Delta Airline from New Orleans to LA arriving in LA at 1945 then leave for Sydney Australia on Qantas which departs Bradley International at 22.30. Do we have enough time? We will have a baby and a toddler with us. Can we check our luggages in New Orleans to go all the way to Sydney Australia without having to collect our luggages on arrival in LA at terminal 5 and recheck the bags at Bradley International Terminal?
