LAX · Guide

Getting between terminals at LAX

The short answer: Some terminals are joined by walkways inside security, but we could not confirm which, and the horseshoe is long. Outside security, with bags and no boarding pass, you use LAX's shuttle buses or walk the curb. The people mover (SkyLink) is not open yet.

Last checked · How we check

The terminals at each end of the horseshoe are a long way apart on foot.

Inside security

Some terminals are joined by walkways behind security. We could not confirm the full set of links. Treat the route in your head as a guess and check LAX's terminal map before a tight connection.

Outside security

If you leave security, for example to reach a hotel, the connection is by shuttle bus or on foot along the curb. The people mover is meant to replace the buses but has missed its opening dates.

International to domestic

After TBIT you clear immigration and customs, collect your bags and recheck them if your next flight is on a separate booking or a domestic carrier. Allow more time than you would at a smaller airport.
