Tunnel history
Adding this as a way to get down my notes/understandings so that others can chime in.

The tunnels would have been built for Terminals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Terminal 1 wasn't built until the 80s and Terminal 8 was always a "pier" off of Terminal 7, so didn't need a tunnel out to a satellite rotunda.

In Terminals 2 and 7, the "color tunnel" that connected the satellite rotunda and the terminal building would later become part of the international arrivals facilities at those terminals.

That means of the six tunnels built, four should remain, but the fate of the tunnel at T3 is unclear.

Terminals 4, 5, 6, and 7 also had smaller inter-terminal tunnels. The tunnels between 4, 5, and 6 is still used for the American alliance (American, Alaska, and JetBlue). The tunnel between 6 and 7 also exists, but it's a "sterile corridor" allowing international flights to arrive at the rotunda of Terminal 6 and have those passengers walk to the international arrivals facility at Terminal 7.

I'm not sure we should include the inter-terminal tunnels since they never had the mosaics. RickyCourtney (talk) 17:04, 9 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I have absolutely nothing helpful to offer BUT I did just email LAX and ask if they have resumed giving tours. (Per the website, they used to do so but stopped bc of COVID.) If feasible I'll sign up and try to get photos and possibly answers. jengod (talk) 17:25, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
