How long to change terminals at lax

I had to do this recently on a Singapore Air flight. It stinks. Officially it will therefore be a domestic arrival. I have only 60 minutes to get to a Delta gate in terminal 6.

Is that possible? I think an earlier post suggested that you have to exit security on leaving terminal 2 and then go through security again to enter terminal 6. I will have only a carry-on case and will already have all boarding passes. Is this timeline possible? Can it be done without re-doing security? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi John. That is a very tough connection. The big hurdle for you is security. If the line is long, then you definitely risk missing the Delta flight. We will deplane at terminal 8. The layover is 4 hrs. However, I have not yet left the secured area. My question for you is this. Since I have reached my destination and am not ticketed for another flight, will I be able to move freely with her to TBIT?

That brings to mind another question. Will there be a boarding pass kiosk inside the secured area, or will we have to go outside the secured area to get a boarding pass? Put simply; can we get her boarding pass without having to go out and clear security again?

Thanks Shawn for the info! We are making a tight connection on American and I have not used these tunnels but it sure beats having to re enter security check again during this busy holiday season. Takes 5 minutes and stays airside. You need to leave security and take a bus curbside. There is no airside connection from Terminal 2 to Terminal 6.

Hi Shawn thanks for the information! Thank you in advance! There is definitely sufficient time as long as you get off the plan in a timely manner. The walk from T6 to T4 is minutes depending on where your gates are on either end. My family will be traveling soon, it will be my first international flight.

We are flying. Can she get there through the tunnels without going through TSA again? Can you connect between international terminal and terminal 4 without having to go through security?

If not can you connect to any of the other terminals from terminal 4 without having to go through security? Thanks again!! Can someone confirm the validity of this information? Please let me know. Yes it is open as recent as a few weeks ago. As long as you have your boarding pass, follow the signs for T4.

Once in T4 walk towards the exit and security. Right before security you will see the turn off towards TBIT and follow the walkway as shown in these pics. You were absolutely correct Shawn. Thanks for the information and being so active in responding back. The information on this website made my travel a lot smoother. The Delta support was wrong. I did not have to go through the 2nd security screening at LAX. SBP , can I do that without going through security again and how would you do that.

I have a 90 min layover in LAX. Is that enough time to walk from terminal 7 to TBIT? It took my teenage daughter 20 min in the tunnels doing the same route. However, she did this during the late evening. She said it was very easy but a little confusing once she entered TBIT.

Good luck!! Reading your description of the tunnel system if I come in on United at terminal 7 it seems that going out and walking down to Bradley International is still the best bet than trying the tunnel system from there? It depends. The tunnels are fairly straightforward, but going to the curb and walking straight to TBIT is definitely more direct. We are traveling form T6 to Tom B through the tunnels and wanted to know Do we need to collect our baggage to transfeer or does the airline do it.

Check with your airline to see your options. About minutes from the far end of T4 to Bradley. Maybe even shorter if you are closer to the connector tunnel. Wanted to thank you a ton for your instructions on how to get from Terminal 6 to the Tom Bradley International Terminal. My family of five, plus three others on our flight from Seattle to LAX had 1-hour to get to our international flight. These instructions allowed us to pass by what the flight attendant had told us exiting the terminal and passing through security again and get to our flight minutes before we boarded.

This is very informative, so thank you. I will be landing via United on Terminal 8. Secondly, I am also traveling with elderly parents who have limited mobility. One parent will need the aid of a wheelchair, maybe the other parent as well since the walk will be quite lengthy. In this situation, is it still better to use the tunnels so we do not have to go through security again? But hey keep telling yourselves you the worlds best, I am sur ether are idiots out there that will believe you.

This depends on if he clear customs in Abu Dhabi or not. If he needs to go through immigration and customs then it can take quite some time.

The actual walk is about 20 minutes or there are busses that run between the terminals. The signage is quite good and if he knows how to say Terminal 6, employees can help direct him even with limited English.

He can also write it down and show someone and they will direct him. Much faster and more convenient than going through security again. Thanks, LAX! I found myself landside after leaving passport and customs at TBIT with checked baggage to put back on the belt for my second flight from T6. Where did I go wrong? Same here. After arriving at TBIT, you have to go through customs and pick up your bag before rechecking it, and I believe that location is already outside of the secured area.

I happened upon your page and the combination of text and pictures was outstanding! I made it from terminal 4 to 6 without problems and even guided some fellow passengers along the way. Great directions. I had a bad experience with these tunnels today. I entered the airport from Terminal 2 Or maybe it was 6, based on the information you have here and needed to go to Terminal 4.

They still printed my boarding pass, though. I followed the signs to Gates However, somehow I ended up leaving the security area. Either I was absent minded and daydreaming, or the security exit was poorly marked. Need directions? The Miles To Memories blog offers a handy guide with pictures of every sign and […].
