LAX Shuttle terminal loop (landside)Inter-terminal bus Lower/Arrivals level outside every terminal at the blue "LAX Shuttle & Airline Connections" sign

Links are T1–T2–T3 walkway, T3 and T4 skybridges to TBIT, T4–T5–T6 tunnel, T6–T7–T8 walkway. Allow 5–8 min per hop; T1 to T8 can take an hour. Pedestrian map on this page.
