What the route does: After you get through TSA, consider that your ticket to roaming freedom. The roughly 2-mile-long route is part of ongoing work to improve the airport, including the upcoming Automated People Mover train.

What the benefits are: The change lets you more quickly access food and beverage vendors, pet relief stations, and other things that are only available in specific terminals. Before the route, you’d have to leave your terminal and enter another as if you were a brand new passenger going through TSA. So if you want The Habit over Umami Burger, just take your things and waltz on over.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
