How do the terminals work at LAX?

The LAX terminals are arranged in a horseshoe shape, connected by the LAX ring road. Terminals 4 through 8, plus the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT or Terminal B), are connected post-security via walkways. Terminals 1, 2, and 3 are generally disconnected from this main grouping. Passengers move between non-connected terminals by taking the free **LAX shuttle service** (Bus A). The arrivals area (lower level) handles pick-ups and baggage, and the departures area (upper level) handles drop-offs and check-in.
