LAX Question

I am trying to plan a trip and meet up with someone at LAX. Is there an air-side shuttle between any of the terminals? How easy is it to transfer between the terminals? Specifically I would like to transfer between Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 or between Terminal 1 and Terminal 7. Thanks!

The answers can be found in the LA forum.

All of the terminals are isolated, so in general you have to leave security to switch termials. There are some exceptions, but T1 is not one of them.

To get to T3, after you leave the T1 secured area, head to your right and it'll be a 5-10 walk to T3.

To get to T7, you can continue walking around past T3 (LAX is in the shape of a "U"... T1 and T7/8 are at the "ends" of the U), which will be like a 15-25 min walk.

OR you can go straight ahead, cut through the parking lots/garages, and make it a 5 min walk.

OR, you can just take one of the terminal buses (boarding downstairs on the arrivals levels, on the islands.)

Good luck.

Since indeed there are a number of threads on this sort of topic in the Los Angeles forum, I will move it there.

Would I be able to go past security in say Terminal 3 with a Terminal 1 boarding pass?
