The officials of the airport suggested the passengers to do checking with the specific airline before arriving and do look out for multiple signs to get to the desired area because about 15 airlines will move to different terminals for the next five days.

As of now, the biggest airline i.e. Delta is moving from terminals 5 and 6 to terminal 2 & 3. This switch will lead to minimizing the delays for takeoff and landings according to Delta officials.

The 3 largets airlines at LAX – United, Delta, and American Airlines were all on the south side before the shuffle which led to hang-ups at the gate.
