There are several companies that connect Italy and the California airport, primarily ITA Airways offering some nonstop flights between Rome e LAX. The "home" of the Italian national airline in the LA airport is the Tom Bradley International Terminal, the same one where Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, Air France and many others land and take off: built for the 1984 Olympics, and renovated in 2010, it is One of LAX's newest and busiest terminals., with more than 10 million passengers per year.
There are 9 terminals and all are about to change their names: Los Angeles International Airport is planning to change the numbering of its terminals and also the naming of its gates with a view to a Easier orientation for passengers.
Terminal 1 and Concourse 0 (the future T1 extension to be used by Southwest) will become one terminal, called the Terminal 1; terminals 2 and 3 will be merged under the name of Terminal 2; the TBIT (Tom Bradley International Terminal) will be renamed. Terminal 3; then, again, terminals 7 and 8 will also be merged and renamed Terminal 7; finally, LAX plans to build the future Terminal 9, which, however, will be called the Terminal 8. Gates, as mentioned, will also change their name: in their case a alphanumeric system consistent with the Terminal (for example, at T1 there will be A1 and B1 gates, at T2 there will be C1 and D1 gates, and so on ).
The LA airport's idea is a noble one: to allow the millions of transit passengers to find their way around more easily; although, judging from what one reads on Twitter and in various forums, world travelers seem more confused than facilitated.
