Just learned that T4 and TBIT are connected on the air side and am wondering if it's worth trying it.

2. Do the JL check in counters open exactly 3 hours before flight as stated on the website or they actually open earlier by any chance? As with many San Diego residents flying out of LAX, I have the dilemma of arriving too early or too late due to the unpredictable traffic on the way to LAX.

Thanks.
