Hi, meeting a friend who is transiting LAX between an Air Canada flight and NZ6 (8.55pm). She arrives at 1pm, bags checked all the way through. Is 2 hrs prior to the NZ flight enough to get her back to LAX atm to make NZ6? We’ll not go far, probably just to Manhattan Beach. Thanks very much

The north complex has an airside bus from 1.5 to TBIT, but no walking connection. The TSA app gives current average wait times, but doesn't split it out by terminal. After 6 pm is off peak and looks like it's generally less than 20 minutes to clear TSA, even without precheck.

The T1.5 bus goes to TBIT West (MSC) which is a long walk back to TBIT Main. Also, bus services may be limited to scheduled LCC (Breeze, Allegiant, Sun Country) operating hours. And TBIT TSA in the evening is a zoo.

My wife (bad knees & back - wheel chair assist requested) & I are taking a cruise soon & flying ATL-LAX-AKL on the front end.

Once upon a time Delta & Air New Zealand had a baggage interline agreement, but no more. The tickets were booked through a travel agent, then through the cruise line & carry a ANZ ticket number so no one, ANZ included, wants to change the DAL leg to a flight 90 minutes earlier for any less than TINS $2500.

Has anyone recently had to claim bags at LAX T3, transfer (prob by bus) & re-check at TBIT, then go through TSA? If yes, about how long did it take? We've been given 2 hrs 20 min between flights at LAX, so it's a do-able deal if "Murphy" is not in play & the FAA doesn't mess things up, the flight is on time or early, etc. Have done this type of "no-fun" connection at JFK before & swore never to do it again. But that's what we get for letting Oceania Cruises do the air booking.

Coming back is all United from SYD-SFO-ATL, so it's not a problem on the back end.

Comments?

TIA.

There is a shuttle between Terminal 2 and the main TBIT concourse, the bus gates are 136 -146.

Where is the T2 bus gate located? The DL website map isn't helpful in this regard.

When I last visited (Dec 2022) it was at Gate 26B. The interactive map then and now says 21A which was nowhere to be found.

I have a PPT-LAS flight in September, connecting at LAX.

Original arrival at LAX was 10:45 with a departure for LAS at 14:15. So a 3.5hr connecting time

Just had an email to say this has now changed-The 14:15 flight is no more...

Arrival is at 10:45 with a departure to LAS at 19:30 !

I can see there are flights LAX to LAS at

13:00
18:30

Looking at the thread is it too optimistic to ask for the 13:00 departure?

PPT flight is Air Thahiti Nui which lands at TBIT
LAS flight is with Alaska so probably terminal 6.

We will have luggage but I assume these will be checked all the way through?

Thanks
