From Air NZ:Hope this will improve what I've heard is a less than pleasant experience!After nearly 20 years based in Terminal 2, we are to have a new home at Los Angeles International Airport. We will in early 2014 move to the Tom Bradley International Terminal which is currently undergoing a US$1.7 billion make-over.
The terminal move will enable passengers to access better facilities when arriving or departing Los Angeles and also while in transit. Passengers transiting through on NZ1 and NZ2 will no longer be in a small transit lounge. Instead you'll be able to clear a customs processing facility and then make use of dining, shopping, retail and passenger amenities while you await your onward journey.
We have also been appointed to design and operate a brand new Star Alliance lounge in the terminal. The new Star Alliance Lounge, designed in conjunction with international architecture firm Gensler, will be used by eight Star Alliance partner airlines that also operate out of the Tom Bradley terminal.
