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.

Why? That lounge is terrible, an embarassment to SkyTeam, not worth even 10 extra steps let alone time waiting for a shuttle.

If you have a bag, you'll have to check it at T2. But once you've done that, you should walk landside over to T3 and use security there; there's no advantage to clearing security at T2 and it will slow you down because you then have to wait for the airside bus to T3.

The reason would be to use the SC in T2 before heading over to T3. Not that the T2 club in its current state is exceptional, but as compared to the opulent splendor of the current state of the T3 club, I'd spend more time @ T2.

Oh, it is "better." I don't recall if I was ever in there as a TW lounge (I believe AS pax were able to use it near the end). Then, it was an AA lounge, then the AS lounge, then the VX lounge, and now the DL lounge. I suppose its best days (other than likely decades ago in the early days @ TW), were as VX in its beginning. It has never been as crowded as now with the DL lipstick on the door. Believe it or not, the terminal itself was in a nastier state of (dis)repair prior to some VX paint. And, FWIW, the toilets in the lounge have finally been replaced with artifacts that actually flush on the first flush.

It's better than it was just a few months ago. I'd now call it "average" as domestic terminals go. SC was crowded when I was in there, but that's equally true at the other DL hubs. I actually thought this one was nicer than the windowless cave at SLC, for example.
Also on the plus side, the Clear staff were amazing when I went through a couple weeks back.

Oooof, do I miss T5. Finally had to travel to/from LAX - first time since the terminal move. What on earth happened? Was hoping things would have settled out by now. T2 and T3 are awful. The lack of signage. The Priority luggage check @ T2 in the most illogical place. The inability to tell whether it's best (or even possible) to walk landslide to T3 or take the shuttle (more signage issues). That's all practical - and to add to it, the aesthetics are awful. Didn't have time to visit a SC, but I will next month. I hope things improve by then...

Am I the only one who has waited in the Sky Priority line, once for almost 5 minutes, before realizing that *everbody* including the ticketing agents were speaking Spanish and finally noticing that it was AeroMexico checkin?
I have also jumped the gun on the right turn to T2 baggage claim escalator and taken the scenic route via ticketing
