Delta's Operational move from T5 to T2/3 at LAX:
Delta has moved to: T2 and T3 with eventual connector to TBIT (note: there is currently only airside bus service to stay securely between T2 & T3, the walking connector has not been built yet.)
Where to check bags: As of January 13, 2020, non-Sky Priority customers must check their bag(s) at the terminal their flight departs from, unless their flight departs from TBIT, in which case, they must check their bag at Terminal 2. Sky priority customers can check their bag at either terminal. See this link for more information.
Date(s) of move: May 12, 2017 - May 17, 2017
Here is a helpful chart from Delta which covers all Domestic / Int'l. transfer combos (AND TOTAL TRANSFER TIMES) between T2, T3 & TBIT.
New Bus Routes will help with connections:
- Circular Airfield Bus between TBIT, T2 and T3
- Airfield Bus between T2 and T3
Bus Map
Will there be a SkyClub: Yes, there is one in each terminal. Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse will remain.
- The SkyClub in T2 opened on May 20th (Former AC Maple Leaf Lounge)

- The SkyClub in T3 opened on May 24th (Former VX Loft)

Where Will The Delta One Check In Lounge Be Located:
In T2, there is a small Delta One seating area with refreshments. An agent will escort you from the check in/lounge area through a back pathway up stairs to TSA precheck. Its a shorter walk to check-in at SkyPriority and easier if you have a carry on and don't want to drag it up a flight of stairs. 11/3/17)
Airlines joining DL in T2/3 for landside and departures:
- AeroMexico (T2)
- Virgin Atlantic (T2)
- WestJet (T3)
Landside T2 only, departures from TBIT:
- Virgin Australia
- Volaris
Landside T3 only, departures from TBIT:
- Avianca/Taca
- Copa (effective April 7)
- InterJet
Will there be secure links between T2-T3 and TBIT: Yes, the final plan is to let pax walk between all airside.

It looks nice, though.
On another note.....there were lines with 10+ women out of each of the public restrooms @ T3 just now. What a Fing nightmare.

I arrived at T3 today around 7:15 AM and made it from the curb through security (Pre Check) in less than 10 minutes. The same deal took me about 20 minutes on Thursday afternoon. The buses between T2, T3 & Bradley are very frequent as I took them 5 times over the last 2 days and never had to wait more than 10 minutes for one and usually less than 5. I can't remember if it was T2 or T3 but on Thursday they were giving passengers that had access a $15 food voucher because the lounge wasn't open.

Can anyone confirm whether the showers are operational at either LAX club?
After swearing I wouldn't book an itinerary through LAX over the next six months, I ended up doing it anyway: the siren song of coming back from Haneda was too strong to pass up, and now I'll have a solid five hours (uggh) to kill...

One curiosity question, as I don't use LAX all the often (and when I did tend to use it, I was flying AA so was in T4). I'm certain I read the details in the past, but now that this move is complete, DL has somewhat significantly increased the number of gates they have at LAX, is that right? How many gates did DL have access to pre-move versus now in T2/T3?

However, I would hope DL would close 3 quickly to start the rebuild.
Also, they can re-stripe the gates to give them no more than 27 gates in the T2 T3 area.

Didn't Delta just spend 7 years renovating T5/6 too? And just finish T5 a year or 2 ago?

If you read the last few pages of this thread, you will see that waiting for a gate at LAX has been a huge complaint of DL flyers over the past years. The almost 50% increase in gates is a very real short term improvement
