LAX terminal 2 is primarily housing delta. Unlike Terminal 7, this terminal has a lot more places to eat. The vibe is much more happening. Given all the restaurants and retail, this terminal can be feel tight. The lighting is a bit dark in this area as well. The security funnels are not the best design. The are is too tight. This security can take a bit so be prepared during peak time and holidays.

Boarding

4/21/2025 - The experience on DELTA AIRBUS (A350-900 Range 8,437 miles) flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Japan (HND) This flight was on time to start taxing at 10:25 AM PST. The lunch (Western or Japanese food) was first served (wines free of charge); a few hours later, a snack time was served (sparking wine also free). Breakfast was served before landing. During the entire flight, a flight attendant regularly walked through aisle to offer waters to anyone as needed. I feel comfortable for an 11 hour and 9 minutes flight traveling 5,641 miles at the ground speed about 550 mph at the altitude 44,000 most of time (A350-900 has a range of 8,437 miles capacity.) - thanks the DELTA economy class seat that has the largest leg space, which has more room than China Eastern Airlines' I boarded in 2024, American Airlines' in 3/2025 and United Airlines' (Boeing Dreamline 9) I boarded in the past. DELTA leads other airlines by only offering paper cups for the purpose of a cleaner and greener planet as well as offering free WiFi access during an in-flight period if you have a T-Mobile subscription. Soon, DELTA will offer a free in-flight WiFi for all international flights, although it has completely offered to most domestic flights in 4/2025 for free of charges.

Just checked and everything went pretty smooth. I have a twit card, so I buy a pass the Big line and going to the TSA pre check. Trust me, if you travel. It's worth having it. The lines are way shorter and it makes it easier. I'm at the bar having a drink before my flight. I have half an hour to kill. I always say that the sealegs lounge, and have a couple of drinks before my flight.

It's likely to depart here in terminal 2 if flying with Delta domestically. The terminal is not too far once passing the security check point. It has the standard setup in LAX, few restaurants and coffee shops before reaching to the gates.

This is the "red sign" everyone directs you to when you ask for the location of the hotel shuttle pick-up.

How to find the hotel shuttle pickup location. Look for the red sign in the attached photo. This is the "red sign" everyone directs you to when you ask for the location of the hotel shuttle pick-up. If you arrive at Terminal 1 or 2, find an escalator or elevator to the second floor, exit to the curb, turn, and walk until you see the red sign. It is right next to the Westjet sign. Turn left if coming from Terminal 1. If you are at Terminal 2, look for the Westjet sign at the midpoint of Terminal 2.

Really well organized and clean, plus the TSA is so helpful and friendly but super professional! Thank you for making check-in fun!!

Seriously, who wants to see this airport mural right before getting on a flight?

I flew on Delta Airlines, leaving from LAX Terminal 2 to ATL. Prior to going to Terminal 2, I had to drop off my rental car, then take a shuttle, which dropped me off at the terminal. Since it was (way too) early in the morning, no travelers were able to check in due to all kiosks not operating yet, and no Delta employees available. However, when the kiosks came online and, later, the agents arrived, everybody was moving rather quickly through the check in lines. A quick escalator ride up to the second level brought us to the (insert sarcasm here) cheerful TSA agents who gleefully greeted us as only TSA agents could. Good thing that there were multiple lines, making this phase rather quick. From the security check area, I made a right turn, walked down the wide hallway which had a big mural on one of the wall sections, then made a left turn and kept walking past all of the closed stores and food vendors. I was surprised that none of the food places were open for breakfast. I walked to my gate to see that a lot of seats were available in the waiting area, which was pretty spacious. Knowing that I had about an hour more to wait, I walked around the waiting area looking for an available electrical outlet along the walls. All of them except for one were taken by people who arrived earlier than me. I plugged my charger in, only to find that the holes where the prongs go into were so loose that the charger kept falling out. It was then that I saw at least two nearby charging stations with multiple electrical outlets and various types of other connections, and there were a few stations available and not taken yet. I helped myself and charged three electronic items at the same time, smiling at others who later walked by looking at me with envy because they needed an electrical outlet to use. :-D During my wait time, I decided to take pics of some of the nice light fixtures that were above the waiting areas near me. The seats in the waiting area were well maintained. Overall, even though the terminal looked clean and well lit and with the addition of modern looking light fixtures, the terminal itself looks so outdated. When it was finally time to board, I could easily hear everything said over the PA system, and gladly got into a short line and boarded my plane. Goodbye LAX Terminal 2!

With construction running amok, navigating this terminal is a nightmare. The signage is out of date. And there are closures everywhere. Finding your gate should win you a trophy for overcoming the ultimate obstacles.

Ask the Community - LAX Terminal 2

Is there Gloabl Entry Kiosk in terminal 2?

Yes

Traffic around LAX departing flights is terrible! Is it easy to get from baggage claim to a departing flight if I ask my family to drop me off there for my Delta flight instead?

You can always get dropped off at the baggage claim and take the elevator/escalators to the departure floor.

I'm arriving in a midnight flight to terminal 2, i want to know if it's possible to sleep inside the terminal an leave in the morning?.

Lounges are not 24 hours and you will not be able to stay inside them overnight. People sleep in airports all the time...but you won't find comfort, just convenience.

Los Angeles, California…read more.. One of my most favorite places to visit. I used to arrive at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport), but in stopped because Hawaiian Airlines got moved over to Tom Bradley Airport (International Flights) instead of being at Terminal 5. I strongly disliked dragging my luggage from Tom Bradley Airport to Terminal 5 where the rental car shuttles were. I tried Long Beach Airport, but they close early and so do the Rental Car Companies... then I get stuck without a rental car if my flight is delayed. I switched to Ontario International Airport, but this time, I needed a red eye flight which LAX had because of the merger with Alaska Airlines. It's complex, but there are some benefits (such as more flight chouces) to switching back to LAX. I'm super happy that we landed at Terminal 6. Why? 1. The rental car shuttles stop here! 2. There are several restrooms between the gate and Baggage Claim 3. Directional signs are clear and numerous 4. The environment is modern, bright, spacious, and clean. Perhaps I will return to Terminal 6 in the near future!

It definitely helped make the security process feel much smoother and less stressful. Waiting for and boarding our flight also went pretty smoothly overall. The only downside was that the seating near our gate was completely full, so we had to sit by a nearby gate until boarding started. But once we got on the plane, everything went great! We even ended up arriving a few minutes earlier than expected

Mixed thoughts about LAX T5. It's an easy to get thru if you're in gates 50 and above. And even…read moreeasier if you have TSA pre check. Never a terribly long line. When I know I'm flying out of this terminal, I don't think about getting to the airport early. Whereas if it was another terminal I absolutely would. Staff generally are annoyed but not as bad as JFK. They ain't winning awards for customer service but they do explain things pretty well. This time around I flew out of gate 52D. If you're in any of the 52 gates other than A or B, know that you need to get to the 52 gate and then you'll have to chat with a gate agent, scan your boarding pass, then take another bus to your gate. Thats how big LAX is. You need to jump on another 5 minute shuttle ride to get to your gate. The 52 gates aren't world class. It's pretty old. Probably just neglected since most of the flights here are regional / short distance flights. There's flights to Seattle, Bay Area, etc from here. Overall verdict - you could certainly do worse. But for how big it is, I think it's a pretty well oiled machine. And that in of itself earns a 3 star from me.

I know people love to hate on LAX but honestly.. I've never had any trouble flying in/out of there…read more(hopefully no jinxing for 2026). On our last flight from LAX to JFK, we had a 12am flight and traveling with our 3mo old puppy and everything was easy breezy. We got to our parking (cheap) reservation on time, didn't wait too long for the shuttle and the agents for JetBlue were so helpful AND loved my puppy, made our night by taking pictures of/with him. There were lots of (clean) restrooms, quiet area, unfortunately all the restaurants were closed but otherwise, no problem flying out from LAX at all

It's been a source of controversy for decades! Capping decades of legal battles & protests! One of the oldest in USA! Airport land converts into Park! Meanwhile they shortened the runway to limit jet flights! By the way, this is where Harrison Ford crash landed onto Golf Course instead of a runway! This general aviation airport, naturally long favorite of celebrities & biz heads, had its share of public scrutiny just like many other non commercial airports in California. Like my San Carlos Airport SQL or Palo Alto Airport PAO. Historic significance lays in the fact that famous DC-3 & military aircraft was produced by Douglas Aircraft Co in Santa Monica at the airport before it had moved to Long Beach. Famous tenants like Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise & Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with others, average daily 250 takeoffs & landings, that's a lot of noise! Neighbors in Santa Monica didn't want harmful exhaust, emissions, fueling, lead & carbon, pollution, and noise! At the same time, its use during WWII for military purposes had federal agreements for FAA to allow operations. So various aviation interests contended with the City of Santa Monica over its ownership. They reached the agreement after endless litigation to return the control of the airport land to the city. And at the end of 2028 the city is free to do what they want with 227 acres of airport land! *The one who should care Does she or doesn't So let the beat roll on I'm 'bout to get in the zone I been locked up all by myself But I'm known to grow my own I burn it till it's gone Like there ain't nothing wrong I'm just out in the shade Watching the world go up in flames [ Review #828 w 3 pic Feb 15, 2025 ] Here, can't complain! @Santa Monica Airport CA Thur 2/6/25 Going home tonight!

Met with Oliver and Jorge and they gave me all of the information I needed to begin my journey into aviation. Prices are very reasonable and the school is going through lots of positive changes.
