When it comes to flying with United out of Los Angeles, your journey always begins (and often ends) at the United Airlines LAX Terminal. Nestled on the north side of the airport, Terminals 7 and 8 together form your one-stop hub for check-in, security, lounges, gates and ground transportation.

United Airlines exclusively operates from Terminals 7 and 8 at LAX. Terminal 7 is where you’ll find ticket counters, security checkpoints, baggage claim and customs facilities; Terminal 8 is a satellite concourse with gates only, connected airside by a covered walkway. In practical terms: arrive curbside at Terminal 7, clear check-in and TSA there, then stroll through to Concourse 8 if your flight departs from one of its eight gates.
