Los Angeles International Airport Terminal 7 Map (Most Up-To-Date)
LAX Terminal 7 is a long, mostly straight United concourse inside [the LAX airport complex], running east–west with arrivals/baggage below and a centralized departures/security level feeding the 70-series gates. The east end is the long post-security neck into Terminal 8 (80s gates), while the west side trends toward Terminal 6.

Los Angeles International Airport Terminal 7 Map Strategy
- Treat every transfer like a decision tree: “airside only” routes stay on the departures/concourse level; down-escalators to baggage claim are the common no-return mistake that triggers re-screening.
- For Terminal B access, hard-lock onto the two waypoints: Terminal 6 Gate 64C (airside shuttle) and Terminal 4 Gate 47A (airside drop-off), then climb back to the T4 departures level for the T4–TBIT bridge.
- For Terminal 8, assume a long post-security corridor: aim for the east end of Terminal 7 after security (past the Gate 71/United Club zone) and budget 8–12 minutes just to reach the 80s gates.
- Reduce crowd stress by staying “high” and moving laterally: avoid drifting toward arrivals/baggage flows, and use the far-east curb/doors on departures when you’re trying to minimize walking to the T7→T8 corridor.

Terminal 7 and Terminal 8 remain fully operational as the United complex, but airport-wide construction (notably the Terminal 5 demolition/closure) changes what’s “walkable” post-security. The former continuous airside tunnel chain is broken, so reaching Terminal B via the currently open connectors typically involves an airside shuttle bridge (T6 Gate 64C ↔ T4 Gate 47A) plus long concourse walks.

What is the exact airside shuttle pickup point used to bridge the closure gap when going Terminal 7 → Terminal B (the segment reported as Terminal 6 ↔ Terminal 4)?
Terminal 6 Gate 64C is the airside shuttle pickup point used to bridge the Terminal 5 closure gap on the Terminal 7 → Terminal B route.
Use the Terminal 7 → Terminal 6 post-security connector and stay on the departures/concourse level as you enter Terminal 6, keeping gate signage in view. Head toward the Gate 64 area and look specifically for Gate 64C, where the shuttle queue forms near the gate seating/boarding-zone frontage. Avoid the central down-escalators signed for baggage claim/ground transportation—taking those drops you landside and forces re-screening to continue toward Terminal 4/Terminal B.
Where is the exact airside shuttle drop-off point on the far side of that gap so a traveler can rejoin the airside connector route without going landside?
Terminal 4 Gate 47A is the airside shuttle drop-off point that lets you rejoin the post-security connector route on the far side of the Terminal 5 closure gap.
After deboarding at Gate 47A, stay inside the Terminal 4 gate area and follow signs back up to the Terminal 4 main concourse/departures level (the goal is to be back “with the gates,” not down in arrivals). From the Gate 47A area, navigate toward the interior escalators/elevators leading to the Terminal 4 departures concourse, then continue westbound in Terminal 4 to reach the Terminal 4–TBIT connector bridge without exiting to any curbside/“ground transportation” doors.
Where is the exact entrance to the Terminal 7 → Terminal 8 long post-security corridor relative to Terminal 7’s main concourse?
The Terminal 7 → Terminal 8 post-security corridor entrance is at the far east end of Terminal 7’s secure concourse, beyond the Gate 71/71A area and past the United Club zone.
From the main Terminal 7 post-security gate area (70-series gates), walk east toward the highest gate numbers and continue past the Gate 71/71A seating/boarding area. The concourse subtly narrows into a long, straight hallway-like connector; that narrowing is the start of the Terminal 8 corridor leading toward the 80-series gates. If you find yourself drifting back toward the Terminal 7 security exit flow or down toward arrivals, you’ve gone the wrong way—this entrance stays on the same upper concourse level as the gates.
Where is the exact upper post-security bypass walkway that lets travelers reach Terminal 8 while avoiding the security-arrival crowd surge area?
The upper post-security bypass walkway is the same departures-level secure concourse path that runs from Terminal 7’s 70-series gates into the Terminal 8 corridor, staying entirely on the gate level.
Clear Terminal 7 security and immediately stay within the secure gate-level flow instead of following any cues toward the arrivals/baggage claim direction. Walk east through the 70-series gate area toward Gate 71/71A and the United Club zone; the concourse then narrows into the long connector hallway that continues into Terminal 8’s 80-series gates. Because you never change levels, you avoid the security-arrival crowd surge that builds on the lower arrivals level and around the public-side lobby interfaces.
Which Terminal 7 curbside drop-off zone or door minimizes walking distance to the Terminal 8 corridor entrance?
Door L2-10 on the Terminal 7 departures curb is the curbside drop-off point that typically minimizes walking to the post-security Terminal 7 → Terminal 8 corridor entrance.
Ask to be dropped at the far east end of Terminal 7 on the departures (upper) level, aiming for the highest-numbered doors (L2-08 through L2-10) rather than the middle of the lobby. This positions you closer to the east-side security feed that lands you nearer the 70s-gate concourse path leading past the Gate 71/United Club area into the long corridor for the 80-series gates. If your driver can’t find “Terminal 8,” use “Terminal 7, very end of departures” as the instruction.
Where is the exact Terminal 7 LAX-it shuttle stop on the arrivals level measured from the main baggage-claim exit doors?
The Terminal 7 LAX-it shuttle stop is outside the arrivals level at the far east end of Terminal 7, near Doors L1-07/L1-08, marked by green “LAX-it” pillars.
From the main baggage-claim exit doors, turn right (east) and walk along the inner curb until you reach the last cluster of exits on the Terminal 7 arrivals frontage. The pickup is not at the regular passenger pickup curb; it’s at the shuttle-designated area with the green-wrapped LAX-it signage/pillars. If you see pink (Metro) or blue (airline connections) signage instead of green LAX-it markers, you’re in the wrong queue zone.
What is the exact walking distance in feet or meters from Terminal 7 post-security to the Centurion Lounge entrance area in Terminal B using the currently open connectors?
About 4,750 feet (1,450 meters) is the one-way post-security travel distance from Terminal 7 toward the Centurion Lounge area in Terminal B using the currently open connectors (including the shuttle bridge).
| Segment | From | To | Approx distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walk | T7 post-security (70s gates area) | T7→T6 connector (near Gate 71A) | 600–900 ft (180–275 m) |
| Walk | T6 concourse | Gate 64C airside shuttle | 900–1,300 ft (275–400 m) |
| Shuttle | Gate 64C | T4 Gate 47A | distance not walked |
| Walk | T4 Gate 47A | T4 main concourse (departures level) | 300–600 ft (90–180 m) |
| Walk | T4 departures | T4–TBIT connector bridge | 800–1,200 ft (245–365 m) |
| Walk | TBIT Great Hall | Centurion Lounge elevator bank → Level 2 entrance zone | 700–1,000 ft (215–305 m) |
What is the exact walking distance from Gate 70 to Gate 80 along the connected airside path between Terminal 7 and Terminal 8?
About 1,000–1,200 feet (300–365 meters) is the best-available airside walking distance estimate from Gate 70 to Gate 80, and it commonly takes 8–10 minutes at an average pace.
| Step | From | To | Approx distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate 70 frontage | Gate 71/71A zone | 300–450 ft (90–140 m) |
| 2 | Gate 71/United Club zone | Start of the T7→T8 narrowing corridor | 250–350 ft (75–110 m) |
| 3 | Corridor run | First Terminal 8 gate area (Gate 80) | 450–550 ft (140–170 m) |
Where is the exact Premier or priority security lane entrance located between Terminals 6 and 7, and which Terminal 7 approach path aligns with it?
The Premier/priority security lane entrance is in Terminal 7’s main departures lobby at the centralized checkpoint, typically on the far left side of the queue bank when facing the screening lanes from the ticketing/check-in area.
Approach it from the Terminal 7 departures curb by entering the west end of the Terminal 7 lobby (the side closer to Terminal 6) and walking straight toward the security queues rather than cutting across the center of the lobby. This aligns you with the Premier Access check-in/premium counter zone and keeps you from overshooting into the general-queue surge area that forms nearer the middle/right side of the checkpoint frontage.
On the Terminal 7 → Terminal B airside route, what is the exact junction where choosing the wrong corridor routes a traveler landside and triggers re-screening risk?
The highest-risk landside trap junction is in Terminal 6 at the central core where the concourse-level path intersects the down-escalators/elevators signed for “Baggage Claim / Ground Transportation.”
After you enter Terminal 6 from Terminal 7 airside, keep yourself “with the gates” and continue forward on the same level toward the Gate 64 area. The wrong choice is taking the central bank of down-escalators that drops into the arrivals/baggage hall; once you go down, you’re effectively landside and would need to re-clear security to continue toward Terminal 4/Terminal B. The safe choice is staying level and following gate-number signage to Gate 64C (airside shuttle).
What is the exact elevator or escalator location pair that provides the most direct step-free path from Terminal 7 arrivals/baggage to the Terminal 7 security level?
The most direct step-free route is the internal elevator bank near Baggage Carousel 3/4 on Terminal 7’s arrivals level, which goes straight up to the departures/ticketing level for security.
From baggage claim, head toward the central/east portion of the arrivals hall and look for the elevator doors adjacent to the Carousel 3/4 area rather than using the outdoor curbside escalators. Ride the elevator up one level to the Terminal 7 departures lobby, then roll straight toward the centralized security checkpoint from the ticketing/check-in frontage.
