United Airlines mainly uses Terminal 7 and Terminal 8 at LAX, with some operations and connections also involving Terminal B (Tom Bradley International Terminal) and occasionally Terminal 6.

Main United terminals at LAX

  • Primary terminal: Terminal 7 is the main home of United Airlines at LAX, handling most United and United Express departures and arrivals.
  • Additional gates: Terminal 8 is directly connected to Terminal 7 and is also used exclusively by United for additional (mostly domestic) flights.

International and connecting flights

  • Some United international flights and partner-operated international flights may use Terminal B (Tom Bradley International Terminal), with airside connections to Terminals 4–8 for transfers.
  • United also lists Terminal 6 as a location it may use at LAX (typically for certain gates or connections), so your exact terminal can vary by flight.

How to confirm your exact terminal

  • Check your booking or boarding pass in the United app or on united.com on the day of travel to see whether your flight is assigned to Terminal 7, 8, 6, or B.
  • At the airport, follow roadway and curbside signs for “United / United Express – Terminal 7–8” and verify the terminal and gate on the departure boards.
