how will connecting the front of T4/5 going to cost 1.5bn. Delta is only spending 1.9 bn to completely renovate two terminals. This seems like it will just be re-building the check in areas like how United T6/7 works now... Where is the money going!!!
also, the entire midfield terminal is only supposed to cost 1.6 bn

May 17 Move to Terminal 5 Gives JetBlue Customers Access to Premium Concessions, Modern Terminal Design, and Free Terminal-wide Wi-Fi
...
Once JetBlue moves its operation to Terminal 5, the airline will begin a series of redesign projects in the check-in lobby. Starting this summer, customers arriving at LAX will be welcomed by hospitality trained crewmembers and a spacious and modern check-in area designed by Gensler, the team behind JetBlue’s iconic Terminal 5 at New York-JFK. The LAX plan will feature JetBlue’s new self-service lobby with ten check-in positions plus ten interactive self-service kiosks – both are more than double the number at Terminal 3. The new interactive kiosks feature the latest personal, helpful and simple technology, including self-bag tagging and bag drop capabilities that increase efficiency and reduce frustrating airport lines. JetBlue Mint customers and Mosaic members will also have a dedicated check-in area.
...
Upgraded Terminal Experience
JetBlue’s arrival in Terminal 5 comes after Los Angeles World Airports’ previous investments in terminal upgrades.

Once the APM is built, no more shuttle buses on the terminal loop - all shuttles will run from the ITFs.

Uber drivers already have an offsite holding area. They only get to come into the airport once they have a passenger pickup or to Drop off. Uber Black can pickup on the arrivals level. However all UberX pickups and all drop off regardless are supposed to be on departure level.

Eagle's nest will close. T5 will be exclusively AA's. The two terminals will be merged essentially and while, yes, they are connected beyond security via a tunnel, they'll now be connected behind security above ground. Plus AA will continue to use TBIT, and when the new Midfield opens in 2019, AA's TBIT gates become preferential use.

Is the $1.5B in addition to everyday maintenance and repairs?
Since this is over 10 years, that is $150M per year. How does that compare with what AA spends on LAX today?

When MSC opens, TBIT will not have room for airlines counters (it already doesn't have enough room, hence some have to use T2 or T3 to check in).
At some point, LAWA will have to build a second check in hall for TBIT and maybe some other terminals.
