The T6 move is the latest from concessions developer Westfield as it transforms the traveller experience at LAX terminals 1, 2, 3, 6 and Tom Bradley International Terminal.
“Much like Los Angeles is a collection of diverse neighbourhoods woven together by boulevards, Terminal 6 will unite three disjointed buildings into a seamless experience for travellers through the best in dining, retail, design and amenities,” said Westfield Executive Vice President Dominic Lowe. “We are thrilled to continue to partner with Los Angeles World Airports to bring the best of L.A. into LAX as the airport transforms into a landmark befitting of this great city.”
Coined “˜The Boulevard’, Westfield’s design vision is said to replicate the experience of travelling along Sunset Boulevard, through the architectural lighting, use of digital technology and design materials. The meandering curves in Bel Air and Brentwood are said to have inspired the retail and dining districts.

Constructed in 1961 and expanded in 1979, LAX’s Terminal 6 is home to 14 gates and five carriers serving both domestic and international travellers. In 2013, Terminal 6 served more than 8 million travellers. The design will open up the interface between the original terminal and its connector – built more than a decade later – to create more space and new sightlines to shopping, dining and gates. Gate lounges will feature café, lounge and communal seating, all with charging outlets.
