I have a niece travelling to the USA for the first time on UA, in economy, arriving LAX, going onto Chicago on UA. (She's young (18) ... she'll recover ).
I've never used UA into or out of LAX, so have no first hand experience to advise her on what she should expect. If it were TBIT I'd be right!
UA at LAX seem to operate out of 3 terminals: https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/airport/maps/lax.aspx
Can anyone help? What's the immigration process like (zoo; not bad ... any tips )? Where is the domestic bag drop in relation to having cleared customs? And importantly does she change terminal to get the Chicago flight? Or is it a case of maybe, maybe not. (I don't have access to her booking right now)
If she does change terminal is it a matter of going out the front door, along the footpath and into the next one, through security etc?
