They could actually do the connection or reserve the space and create a stub corridor that can then be used once they decide to connect.

US did use gate 12 at one time for it’s CLT & PHL flights as well as 4B as that was a HP gate along with 9, 11& 13, now WN will have the whole terminal.

It’s so strange, Nick. I did write that, but I can’t find it. How weird.

USAir built the club just after the PSA merger, taking a chunk of Gate 2 for it. PSA originally had the entire west side of T1 (even numbered gates) so it was fine for that.

After the cutbacks, USAir ended up at gates at the end but kept the club. The club was closed for a short period (April 2005 through 2006-ish) but reopened after the AWA merger.

It’s really not that far…maybe three or four minutes to the US gates from the club.

Okay two questions:
1. WTF was US Airways thinking not keeping their gates near their club?

2. Wasn’t there a fancy pansy CF designed rearrangement of all the airlines at LAX so all of the alliances would share terminals.. I can’t seem to find it for the life of me..

I don’t see any US Airways airplanes using gate 12 now and I really don’t see 4B either. There really are so few flights these days. There are no more than 6 a day to Phoenix, 5 to Charlotte, and 5 to Philly. Three gates works for that.

Todd is right – it’s all common use stuff in T6 (except for the neck which United controls) but Alaska has preferential use. I believe T2 and T3 are mostly common use as well.

MeanMeosh – There are two lines that can snake outside. The first is the security line, and if they add more lanes or create more inside waiting areas, then that will stop snaking. The second is the baggage check line. If they take over more counter space as part of this deal, then that could go away as well.
