Domestic and Preclearance Arrivals @ TBIT
Relatives are coming in from Dublin where they will be pre-cleared by TSA and US Immigration/Customs. Thus their arrival at LAX TBIT will be a domestic flight, not international.
They are inexperienced travelers and I want to know exactly where to meet them in TBIT. I am assuming they will not be coming out of the usual International Arrivals on the lower level. These are folks who could freak out if they don't see me when they emerge from the secure area.
Next: Where will they get their checked luggage? T2?
I ask because I have heard AA domestic passengers arriving at TBIT collect their luggage in T4. (Am I right?)
My relatives are flying Aer Lingus (DUB-LAX non stop), and I am guessing they would get their baggage in T2. I tried asking on the Aer Lingus forum, but no one gave me an answer specific to LAX.
I looked all over the Aer LIngus website. Nothing. I tried calling. Long hold times. I am hoping that one of my AA buddies here might know the answer.
