LAX T3 memories
Flew Frontier into LAX last week, arrived at Terminal 3. Brought back many memories of the good old days w/ TW. The great Ambassador Club staff there, and descending the back stairs to the gates...Captain Randy greeting passengers, flight 840? to JFK, which continued to Rome, always trying to get on the 767 flights w/ the TWOne configuration to STL, the "tunnel" to baggage claim, and many more. The far end of T3 is now the realm of Frontier, ATA and one or two other airlines...

When you arrive T3 via AS at Gates 31/32, the first thing you see as you deplane are TW's two red horizontal stripes across the top of the waiting room. All the TW logos, signage, etc. are gone but the red stripes from the '80s are still there. They caught my eye a couple of weeks ago and made me sad.

The same is true down in the "rotunda" - of course, that area could really use a remodel. It's dark and dated compared to T4 and most of the rest of LAX.

I flew from RNO to LAX on AS Monday afternoon and when I walked off the plane I thought I was in the Bermuda Triangle. Talk about deja vu!!
BTW, I was connecting to the 6:30pm AA flight to STL and used the AA bus to connect. That worked pretty well and was certainly easier than going outside of security and walking around.

Plenty of fond memories as a Royal Ambassador member with the free international upgrades.
