第一是各家航空公司的起降航站楼，买机票时可以考虑转机时需要走的线路。4-5-6-7-8航站楼是联通的，无需再次安检，步行可达。B（国际）航站楼和4有一条长通道联通。2-3是联通的。1则是不和别人联通。地图：
航站楼间可以搭乘免费巴士，这里可以看到实时车辆位置（选route–ADA shuttle或 airline connector），机场有免费wifi。8号航站楼有panda express,更适合中国胃。7号楼人最多，有羊角包汉堡咖啡之类的。免税店虽然免税，东西不便宜。
There are nine passenger terminals at LAX, connected by a U-shaped, two-level roadway. Most inter-terminal connections require passengers to exit security, then walk or use a shuttle bus to get to the other terminal, then re-clear security. A few LAX terminals provide airside connections, which allow connecting passengers to access other terminals without having to re-clear through security.
The A Bus Airline Connector
If you are transferring between airlines, there is a good chance that you’ll have to change terminals. If the terminals are adjacent, you can walk from one to the next, although you’ll have to go outside and go back through security. If you’re transferring more than one terminal away, you will probably want to take the Airline Connections A Bus airport shuttle that stops on the Lower/Arrival Level islands in front of each terminal under the blue sign. Other shuttles stop in the same spot, so be sure to look for the white and blue LAX Shuttle with “A” in the marquee under the blue LAX Shuttle & Airline Connections sign. The A Bus runs every 10-15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
If the airline has scheduled the connection, enough time for the transfer should be built in, and you should be able to check your bags through. If you are scheduling your own flights between two airlines, allow at least 3 hours if you have to collect your bags and re-check them at another airline.
If you’re arriving on an international flight and making a transfer to a domestic flight – even on the same airline, you will have to go through customs. You should be able to turn your bags back over to the airline just beyond customs for continuing itineraries booked as one flight. If the flights were booked separately, you’ll have to take the bags with you and check in again for your next flight.
