Are the tunnels within security or outside of security?
Will security at terminals 5/6 let me clear myself through their security lines if I have a ticket for terminal 7?
I'm just trying to think of the fastest way to do this and how much time I need to give myself.
Since LAX is situated in a "U" pattern, leaving T2 and crossing the parking garage will set you out in front of T6.
If you LOVE being inside airports, you can try to go in through security at T6. I've been allowed AND rejected at different times for having a gate 70-88 boarding pass at the 60-69 checkpoint.
But usually, it's not worth it to me. I'll just walk along the outside path (and since it's LA, it's generally pretty good weather) and go in through the T7 security.
Time to leisurely walk out of MLL in T2, across the lot and to T7, I would estimate to be 10-15 minutes (google maps pedometer says .5 miles). Obviously the security time will vary.
