Can you walk from Terminal 4 to Terminal 3 at LAX?

Terminals B, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are linked with airside walkways, allowing quicker and easier flight connections. Terminals 4, 5, and 6 use underground tunnels, and 6, 7, and 8 are connected via above-ground tunnels.



Yes, you can now walk from Terminal 4 to Terminal 3 at LAX without ever leaving the secure (airside) area. This is thanks to the multi-year "Terminal Sky Way" project which completed a series of elevated pedestrian bridges and corridors connecting all terminals from Terminal 1 through the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) to Terminal 8. To get from T4 to T3, you would walk through the connector to TBIT, pass through the TBIT Great Hall, and then follow the signs for the connector to Terminal 3. This walk is significant—likely taking 20 to 30 minutes depending on your pace—but it allows passengers to transfer between airlines like American (T4) and Delta (T3) without having to clear TSA security a second time. This is a game-changer for travelers with long layovers who want to access different lounges or dining options across the airport. If you are landside (before security), you can simply walk along the sidewalk of the World Way loop, which is a much shorter, direct path of about 10-15 minutes, but you will have to stand in the security line again.
