Official map

Maps are updated when terminals are renovated or new concourses open. Terminal 5 at LAX, for example, has been closed since October 2025 for reconstruction — always confirm your terminal from your boarding pass rather than relying on a saved map.
Here is what each terminal or concourse at LBB handles — which airlines fly from it, the gate range, and key amenities to know before you go.
LBB operates one single-story terminal with nine total gates arranged in two short concourses off a central corridor — Southwest Airlines uses the five gates on one side, while American Airlines/American Eagle and United Express share the four gates on the other side. Typically only about six of the nine gates see regular daily use. A roughly $42 million renovation completed in phases from 2019–2022 modernized check-in counters, the TSA checkpoint, gate holdrooms, restrooms, baggage claim, and concessions. Ticketing, the single TSA checkpoint, and baggage claim are all on the ground level of the same building.
No trains, trams, or connecting shuttles are needed anywhere in the terminal — LBB is a single small building, and every gate is a 2–5 minute walk from the one TSA checkpoint.
Timing tip
Always allow 15–30 minutes for any inter-terminal transfer at LBB — wait times for people-movers, buses, or security re-screening add up faster than the physical distance suggests. Build the buffer into your Leave-By time, not your gate arrival time.
With one terminal, one checkpoint, and nine gates on a single corridor, it's hard to get lost at LBB. The bigger navigation consideration is outside the building: know which of the two cell-phone waiting lots or which parking area (short-term, long-term, garage, or Airport Shelter Park) you're headed to before you arrive, since MLK Boulevard is the single access road serving all of them.
A few habits that prevent last-minute sprints:

Look for departure boards throughout the terminal for real-time gate information.
