Tom Bradley International and Terminals 1–8
Los Angeles International is a U-shaped loop of nine terminals. Most long-haul international flights use the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at the top of the horseshoe, while domestic and some international airlines use Terminals 1 to 8. The pass covers TBIT and Terminals 1–8; choose yours when booking.
Traffic on the central terminal loop is notoriously slow, so many travellers arrive at the checkpoint with less time than planned.
Arrivals, departures and TSA PreCheck or CLEAR
Departing, the pass gives you priority at the TSA checkpoint. Arriving internationally at TBIT, it helps at US Customs and Border Protection. Screening is the same for every passenger.
TSA PreCheck and CLEAR are separate programs with their own enrolment and lanes. This pass is not PreCheck or CLEAR and does not include their benefits.
Meeting point: Your exact meeting point and the name of your assistant are shown on the QR pass we email after booking.
Peak times at LAX
Fridays and Sunday evenings are the busiest at LAX, as are late-evening departures to Asia and Australia from TBIT. Holiday weekends bring the longest TSA lines.
Planning your trip
The LAX FlyAway bus links the airport with Union Station and Van Nuys, and the LAX-it lot next to Terminal 1 is where taxis and ride-hailing services pick up passengers, reached by a free shuttle from the terminals. The new Automated People Mover is being built to connect the terminals with the Metro network.
International arrivals at TBIT clear US Customs and Border Protection before baggage reclaim. Visitors may need an approved ESTA or visa before travel, and the Mobile Passport Control app can help eligible travellers. On departure, the TSA recommends arriving three hours before international flights and two hours before domestic flights. Traffic around the central terminal area is often heavy on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings, so leave extra time for the drive in. Passengers connecting between terminals may need to leave security and re-enter at the next terminal, although some terminals are linked airside.
