On your next trip, the LAX people mover and consolidated rental car facility should be finished. No bus will be needed to get there. You will just board the tram above the upper level.
If you return to LAX in two years you’ll be able to return your rental car in one location where you’ll be whisked from the rental car facility to the Bradley Terminal in 10 minutes on trains that leave every 4 minutes.
Very soon those shuttle buses will be going away, as will the facility where you returned the car - they're slated to open a brand new rental car center and a train that will bypass the roads going into the airport.
LAX is a Lottery ! Sometimes it can be a Nightmare and sometimes you Whizz through. If it is your first time , Do your homework ! You would not fly to (Or Leave) , say Afghanistan without a clue of where you are going. LAX is Super Slick and people will help you . If you are going Downtown LA for the first time use the Flyaway Bus, anywhere else book the Carmel Shuttle Company in advance. Their drivers are worth their weight in Gold.
Yes very true, definitely a mixed experience. Sometimes the traffic in to the airport can be the worst but, especially if you have a rental car to drop off!
I am going to have a 1hr 55min layover in LAX going to EWR from an international flight. Im actually wondering whether ill have enough time for my connection to terminal 6 since i just realized that we have to go through custom in LAX and baggage claim before the connecting flight 😑 if anybody ever gone through this situation please let me know. TIA
If you land at the Tom Bradley International Terminal, it will take no more than 20 minutes to get through immigration and customs, no longer than 30 minutes at most.when you are out terminal 4, 5, 6, and 7 are on the right side and once you exit Tom Bradley, you can walk from there to your connecting flight at terminal 6 HNF
@@laxer123 thanks for the response. So I assume I'll have enough time for my connecting flight. I was just worried about the baggage claim? Was wondering if there is a drop off baggage right after going out from custom towards the connecting flight.
@@laxer123Hi.. I fly onlu with hand luggage .. i will land on Tom Bradley and have 5 hours to get T3 .. Its enough of time ? and which floor is new connector with T3?
At least LAX didn't spoil the holiday for you, it wouldn't have been very nice if your last memory of the trip was LAX being awful, that would have been rotten. So glad you had such a good trip and enjoyed yourselves. Thanks for taking us with you. 😉😉
Nice report! Everything in the airport different except for the BA flight numbers. BA280 etc. I think they have used the same flight numbers for decades.
