My first ever visit to LAX will be in coming October by JL NRT-LAX and connect to a VX LAX-LAS. They are on separate reservations so I cannot check-thru to LAS.
So transit "path" should be: Deplane->Immigration->Baggage Claim->Connecting Desk->TBIT-T4-T5-T6 Tunnel->T6?
Is there connecting desk at TBIT so I can check my luggage and collect BP for VX flight?
Any security screening I need to go thru?
Please pardon me if it is not the right place to ask airport transit questions.
(1) If there's no VX (or perhaps AS) agent at the connecting desk area, you'll have to walk down to T6 with your luggage for checking and BP. Even if you get a BP and drop your bag at TBIT, you'll go through security. There's a security checkpoint entrance to the left after you leave the bag drop area.
(2) Everyone, pretty much everywhere, must go through security once one has access to his checked luggage.
