Topline:
Here’s something to remember on your next trip to LAX: The days of being stuck in only your terminal while waiting for your flight are over. A new way is open that lets you through terminals without going through the TSA hassle repeatedly.

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.
