Re: Lax info (was UA QUestion)

I have never seen a flight from Chicago park at 6 or 8. 6 is primarily
for Australia and Hawaii flights (and shared with several airlines) and
8 is the old "Shuttle by United" terminal and is now mostly used by RJs,
with any 737 flights operated to points north. I'm 100% certain you'll
arrive at terminal 7, at which point you'll wander up the terminal to
Gate 71 where you'll go down onto the ramp and get on a bus to go to
Skywest's remote terminal across the street from LAX's main terminals.
If you are hungry, eat before you go over to the Skywest remote: they
only have a vending machine over there.

If by some strange and bizarre turn of events you end up at 6 or 8,
you'll have plenty of time to walk to 7 and get to Gate 71. You can get
on a bus, but it will likely take more time than just walking the less
than two-city block distance between 6 and 7 and 7 and 8. This is
especially true if you get on the bus at 8 because you'll have to ride
all the way around the airport. The shuttles only go one way around the
"U."

Well I haven't been to Lax for quite a few years
but if I remember correct UA has/uses terminal 7 & 8
Skywest unless they have moved is Or was in Terminal 5
and 6 (they used to be owned by Delta I belive)
American eagle is located in either Terminbal 4 or 3
all these terminals are on the south side of the central
road away, I would suggest you check out the website
for lax which is
http://www.lawa.com

it will help you out a lot
and yes there are shuttle buses but since 7/8 is the last
stop on the route -the A bus then returns to 1 and loops
around there it would be easier to walk it
