New Connector at LAX Makes Transit a Breeze

Exciting news out of LAX: a new connector has opened between Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) and terminals 4 through 8!

Gone are the days of riding a shuttle between terminals, only to face another long line of security. The new connector will make transferring between terminals a breeze, and passengers will stay behind security, thus avoiding additional security checkpoints. The connector goes directly from TBIT to Terminal 4. From there, passengers use tunnels and walkways to connect to terminals 5 through 8.

This is especially useful for passengers flying on Qantas and American Airlines. American utilizes Terminal 4 – now just a short 5-10 minute walk to the international terminal.

Air New Zealand customers connecting from United flights also benefit and can use the series of walkways and tunnels mentioned above. United uses Terminal 7, and passengers can stay behind security as they make their way to TBIT. This walk should take no more than 20 minutes – a vast improvement on the previously used shuttle buses.

Making the deal even sweeter is a new fast-moving four-lane TSA Checkpoint at the connector for passengers arriving at LAX and a streamlined baggage process for those getting off international and connecting to domestic flights. Not to mention a host of retail and dining opportunities – after all, you’ll need a way to occupy all the extra time before your next flight!

Christine at Esplanade Travel planned our recent trip which found us traveling to four very different and fascinating regions in Chile. The trip was absolutely beautiful, memorable and so suited to our specific interests! We have had the pleasure of working multiple times with travel consultants at Esplanade Travel and they continue to amaze us with the itineraries they develop and their close working contacts in other countries that always result in worry-free travel for us. We tend to stay in multiple areas with multiple connections and with the expertise in planning at Esplanade all of our reservations, contacts, pick-ups and drop-offs occur seamlessly. Our travels started in Santiago before heading south to the Lakes District, further south to Torres del Paine in Patagonia, then west to Easter Island. All of the lodges we stayed in were so comfortable with gorgeous views, the guides were super knowledgeable about the cultural and natural history of every location we visited, and the food was fantastic! On Easter Island our native guide, Sabrina, was able to provide us with her intimate knowledge, passed down to her from her ancestors, of the history and culture of the Rapa Nui people. I highly recommend Esplanade Travel to everyone, and I guarantee we will be contacting them to assist us with our next great adventure!
