Exploring the Hidden Tunnels and Bridges at LAX Airport

4:30 they are currently working on the last connecting walkway between T3 and TBIT. Once complete you will be able to walk from T1 to T7 behind security all the way around the horseshoe. It will however be a long walk.

Be careful calling Tom Bradley the “International Terminal”. Many terminals are LAX are international capable, not just one. LAX cannot afford to separate domestic from international.

Coming from NZ and flying through LAX to Newark at the end of may. I have myself a 10hr layover with a friend

I used to walk in the reverse way (T7/8 to TB) at least once a month in autopilot mode before COVID. 😅

Amazing! I'd be lost...😅

The restrooms in 1st floor are awful and dirty😮😮

So LAX turned out to be not so bad after all huh?

I'll be doing this walk (trek) next month. I'll be sure to leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find my way back. Thanks for the insight, Chris!

I always love seeing the International Terminal at LAX. It reminds me of all the times I've flown to Asia. It's always been a good time visiting there.

The walk from TB to terminal 7 is a real maze! It is much more streamlined to T1.

Also, there were a couple incidents after 9/11 where a passenger managed to go through screening without being screened, causing all the terminals on the south side to be evacuated and people rescreened, because the person could be anywhere (but before the Bradley walkway). They closed the tunnels but they were eventually reopened. They now have a better handle on things.

Gutted I hadn't seen this video before I flew home from LAX last week! Spending three hours in Terminal 7 was rather, er... uninspiring.

Walk from Terminal 1 to Terminal 8 all post-security: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_txNGIAr4v4.html

Nice, its really quite funny I've never found those tunnels and I always exit Tom Bradley and walk from the outside to the other terminals!

Also, I don't hate LAX! I just hate leaving there.

I walked 40 mins from one gate to get to next terminal. I was thinking I was lost or missed a sign . Got there in the end .

Great video like always Chris. I've never saw LAX that they wasn't doing construction when I work there and I'm talking about many years. The theme building down the bottom use to be employees restaurant.

2:35 perfect timing! 😂

This is a nice system of bridges and tunnels between most of the terminals. I don't think I was in these terminals when I flew to Detroit a few years ago when I had a layover at LAX coming back from overseas. It is nice that they have this in place so that most people do not have to go back through security again. I'll be curious what it will be like when the new people mover opens up!

This is such a neat tour! LAX is my home airport, and I think I’ll try exploring some more on my next trip through.

Very informative video, thanks! Question- In a week I am arriving at Terminal 4 (American) without any checked bags, and I want to check in with Qantas for departure out of TBIT, Is there a bridge I can take and kiosk I can use to avoid going through security at TBIT?

If I could give this video a dozen likes I would. We just walked thru these tunnels today and they were exactly where we needed to go!

I wouldn't say these walkways/tunnels are hidden because there are signs pointing to them. Of course, if someone is leaving from the United Terminal and they want to visit the American Express lounge, that's in Bradley, and then it's this crazy walk and back again (it would be quicker to walk outside, but you're outside of TSA screening). I would never do the tunnel and walkway thing and would just hang around the United Terminal.

Wow I will never have to walk in there again and I am happy. One of the perks of having your own plane is not doing that. I don’t think I could do that very often. Airlines are the biggest ambassadors for general aviation there is.

I have flown volairs on lax with a bus shuttle outside and it took me outside and I want to the airplane I borded the airplane outside it was so cool my experience I will do a video one day here but I will show the fans on my other chnnle the airport

Seems pretty nice inside vs other US airports which don't seem to have much in the way of shops and bars/food outlets.

LAX is poorly designed and managed. It's a circus.

8:01 Ah, the morning Dunkin’ line… I know it well. 😂

Very interesting to see that maze of a path behind security. So are these tunnels the famous ones with the mosaic Mondrian designs and were covered up somehow to protect the mosaic tiles? I've seen those tunnels in TV shows and movies. I know that they were closed to the public many years ago.

Thank you so much for this video Chris I will have 2 international flights and one domestic over the next few weeks and I haven’t been to Lax in over 10 years

Thanks for the helpful video. Will be on American Eagle to International to connect to flight. Please give me some advice. Should I go to T4 and walk to Bradley or bus better? Thanks.

Thanks for this video. I fly to LAX a couple times a year and could not remember where the Wolfgang Puck Pizza was. We ate there 2x and loved it. Now I not only know where it’s at, I know how to walk there.

You're so informative and attractive.

Thanks for the video. Flying United tomorrow but want to visit the Centurion lounge at TBIT before my flight. Looks like a good 15 to 20 minute walk one way. I'll need to get to the airport early.

Not my favorite of your thumbnails.

Why did they ban plastic bottles 😮

Safe travels. This video is benificial to me.

Almost like Gaza city…😅

Very cool! Thanks for the info + video!

Very informative video Chris, reminds me why I avoid LAX at all costs

Enjoyed your video. But jeez the underground portion is so sketchy compared to the WestGate tunnel.

Hidden gem of Terminal 5 is FAO Schwarts!

Great video Chris (: I was flying from terminal 5 but wanted to try out the centurion lounge so I walked all the way to the international terminal and back 🙂

i do this every time i go lax.... just to terminal 6

Gate Lice 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah I’m a Platinum member with Virgin and I guarantee every time we priority board there is someone trying to skip the queue. Great video Chris 👍🏻

I am visually impaired and the first time I made that walk from terminal B to terminal 7, I thought I had made a wrong turn and I was in an area that I wasn't supposed to be in LOL.

I find it odd how many airports are redoing terminals at the same time. Planning for something?

If my flight departs from T1 terminal, can I enter into the post-security area at Terminal B or T2 for example? Suppose I have checked in online and hold the e-boarding pass

Thank you so much for the video. It’s super helpful for my coming trip connected through LAX. If I need to go from terminal b to 6 with huge baggage, may I know where I can check in my baggage for my connected flight? Appreciated much of your advise

Some of the tunnels are open so as to allow connections between the same airline (4 to 5 for AA) and alliances (4 to 6 for OneWorld, 6 to 7/8 for Star Alliance because Air Canada is indeed in Terminal 6).

Oh awesome. i have to transfer from TBIT to T4 but i have to collect luggage and recheck so i think we have to use the connection on arrivals after re checking bag. but still awesome to see

Didn’t like LAX much due to the remodelling work at Terminal 1. Absolute joke to keep the kid occupied before a 12 hour flight to Europe, hopefully in a few years it will be completed along with the metro skyline.

10:20 Reminds me of some of the narrow 1960’s era narrow dimly lit ugly walkways at JFK!

If flying to asia with a connection in LAX can you just go through the tunnels to the international? Well I guess if you have separate tickets you have to go out and back in anyways and walk the horseshoe because of checked bags… I really hate LAX 😅 ALSO. Do you think you have enough time with a domestic arriving 7:55a and an international departing 9:30a (so like an hour and a half for luggage and checking/checking)?? Maybe I should just go with SFO 😅

I'm glad you actually WALK on the moving walkways!!!!!

I remember the old days of going outside to catch a connecting flight at a different terminal and whatever people may think of LA and/or California the weather is not always dry and pleasant - the tunnels and bridges while a little hot or cold are an improvement.

Thx for the tour! Humongous airport!

Sorry, I know you live down there, but I avoid LAX like the plague. The people there are not customer friendly. The car rental companies are the worst. I use Burbank and Santa Ana.

Well Chris, you certainly got your steps in on this video 😀. I've actually ran the length of horseshoe ftom Terminal 3 to Terminal 5 in 2018 to catch a flight to Dallas but not for the reasons you'll think. On my ticket it said Spirit Airlines was in T3 so I took a cab to the airport ( I live ten minutes away so theoretically I could take the bus and take a shuttle from rhe bus transit center and be on the property in no time) , I'm one ofvthose people that leave home two hours ahead of time and have never had trouble with going through security( non TSA pre ✔️). Any woo, when I got in the cab ,I told the driver what airline, Spirit I was taking and what terminal based in what it said on my ticket. The cab driver looked quizzically at me and started driving. I didn't realize until we go to the airport that I'd forgotten thst there had been a big switcheroo due to American Airlines renivating and taking over all of terminal 4. The cab driver and I were disagreeing about my terminal of course when i saw that AA had all of terminal 3, all of rhe news stories about the renos I'd seen on local news confirmed he was under right. I admitted my mistake and he did say he'd take me to t5 but I said I'd walk. I was out of breath by the time I got to my gate, but I still had plenty of time to spare. The Tom Bradley International Terminal remodel was started during the mayoral administrations of Jum Hahn and Antonio Villaraigosa and completed during that of Eric Garcetti., So 2003-2017ish. I'm looking foward to the extension of the Metro Crenshaw -LAX(K) line and the Automatic People mover being completed , I wanr to try both out. I have been on the K line once and took it from Inglewood ( one of the starions is around the corner from where I went to highschool and the tracks back then were union Pacific travks and no matter how early my mom and I would leave home, 9x out of ten, we'd get caught behind the gates and of course the train would be long enough to where you'd think it was coming from Dallas instead of the Ports of LA and Long Beach lol. For the furst month of my freshman year, I was late to school because of the train.

In 2016 when i was there, did they have the bridges? I only remember the tunnels... Have you done a live stream on long road trips yet?

Hi Chris. Thanks for the informative video. Watching the video reminds me of why I avoid LAX if at all possible.Take care.

lax yuki

Chris, are there water stations so we can fill our own bottles??????????

Perfect timing Chris ! Taking a red eye connection tonight out of LAX from Delta to American,unfortunately I still don’t think I can do this connection on the secure side it’s unfortunate LAX does not have secure side transportation connecting all terminals.

Your videos are amazing. I will be coming to this airport first time next year so your videos are useful

Flying into LAX from Dublin in 4 weeks - absolutely hate LAX every flight in and out we’ve ever had has been a disaster but it’ll be worth it to see some sunshine 😂

SD zoo is 1000% better than LA zoo tbh.
