Delta's Operational move from T5 to T2/3 at LAX:
Delta has moved to: T2 and T3 with eventual connector to TBIT (note: there is currently only airside bus service to stay securely between T2 & T3, the walking connector has not been built yet.)
Where to check bags: As of January 13, 2020, non-Sky Priority customers must check their bag(s) at the terminal their flight departs from, unless their flight departs from TBIT, in which case, they must check their bag at Terminal 2. Sky priority customers can check their bag at either terminal. See this link for more information.
Date(s) of move: May 12, 2017 - May 17, 2017
Here is a helpful chart from Delta which covers all Domestic / Int'l. transfer combos (AND TOTAL TRANSFER TIMES) between T2, T3 & TBIT.
New Bus Routes will help with connections:
- Circular Airfield Bus between TBIT, T2 and T3
- Airfield Bus between T2 and T3
Bus Map
Will there be a SkyClub: Yes, there is one in each terminal. Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse will remain.
- The SkyClub in T2 opened on May 20th (Former AC Maple Leaf Lounge)

- The SkyClub in T3 opened on May 24th (Former VX Loft)

Where Will The Delta One Check In Lounge Be Located:
In T2, there is a small Delta One seating area with refreshments. An agent will escort you from the check in/lounge area through a back pathway up stairs to TSA precheck. Its a shorter walk to check-in at SkyPriority and easier if you have a carry on and don't want to drag it up a flight of stairs. 11/3/17)
Airlines joining DL in T2/3 for landside and departures:
- AeroMexico (T2)
- Virgin Atlantic (T2)
- WestJet (T3)
Landside T2 only, departures from TBIT:
- Virgin Australia
- Volaris
Landside T3 only, departures from TBIT:
- Avianca/Taca
- Copa (effective April 7)
- InterJet
Will there be secure links between T2-T3 and TBIT: Yes, the final plan is to let pax walk between all airside.

I disagree, at least gates 33A, 33B, 34, 35 and 36 are capable of accommodating wide bodied aircraft. The configuration of those gates has not changed since TWA operated out of that terminal.

Only 12 T3 gates have a jetbridge.
The 13th gate is gate 39, which Google Maps shows, has no jetbridge.
Sure doesn't like any T3 gate could handle a 767, 777, or 330. The smart money is on regional jets plus 717s all in T3.

DL will be starting an inter-terminal bus in a couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure he's saying that they plan to use this gate for that purpose. The bus will run every few minutes so I really doubt they'd go and put an aircraft there

To really step up its game, Delta will have to build a private D1 entrance, private check-in facility, private security screening area and private D1 and partner J/F passenger lounge (think UA Polaris), preferably with a rooftop D1 Sky Terrace.

Will probably just be an "exclusive door" for the next 18-24 months. Think black carpet from curb to door; someone at the door with nothing else to offer than "hello" and a smile; door opens into main departure hall/head house right in front of D1 check-in counter; while a dedicated check-in counter with fresh flowers, D1 passengers will be in full sight of the unwashed masses.

Not that I would have access all that often, it would help if it was better located than the current one, which has you do more walking than the Sky Priority check in.
I am really more interested in when/where/if Clear comes to the new terminals.

Maybe we will park at a T6 gate, then we will get towed to T3 as part of the relocation.

Whether the process will be smooth or chaotic is anyone's guess. But it will happen.
