At least for the moment, with no queues and PreCheck lite at this checkpoint, this would definitely be the fastest route from kerb to QF F lounge if one has no bags to check.

It does seem a bit odd... This part of the TBIT building isn't brand new, as Bradley West was tacked onto the west part of the old TBIT building (of which the corridor leading to the checkpoint is a part). Ultimately LAWA need to add more and better signage to direct passengers this way in order to drive usage. Once that happens the party may be over, but even if this checkpoint gets busy it should alleviate some of the pressure at the standard T4 and TBIT checkpoints so there should be some benefit spread around.
