That is enough time but dont dawdle
You will do immigration in LAX
Your baggage will be checked through. You will have your boarding pass from LAX to MEL.
Even when outgoing immigration was paper based you handed over a little square of green cardboard. Now you don't see it. Your only problem might be security if you have to change terminals but late night should not be a problem.
leaving the country is fine.
There is a qantas transit lounge and you board a qantas bus the drives you across the tarmac to the international gate. At the International departure gate is a machine that you tell you are leaving the country.
I’m more worried that I won’t get enough time in the business lounge
Yeah don't bother with that!.I’m more worried that I won’t get enough time in the business lounge
You should be able to access in SFO (wont be as nice!)
My complaint is that coming out of the international baggage collection there is often a crowd of loved ones eagerly waiting for their returning people. All blocking the path to the domestic transfer point. Negotiating them with snowboard bags and suitcases after a long flight just annoys me.
I’d rather see a transfer airside.
Just googled and yes I’ll have access I’ll be making the most of my first o/S business flights You will alight your AA flight at Terminal 4 LAX
Head towards Baggage Claim but do not exit the terminal (because you have cleared TSA security in SFO and am now in the secure area)
Where people are coming into T4 after clearing TSA security
Turn left
there are some escalators with signs to (Tom) Bradley International Terminal often called TBIT

The Airside Connector between T4 and TBIT opened about three or four years ago but is very easy to miss.Last edited:
If you are flying on a single ticket in J (Business) Class SFO-LAX-MEL you will have access to the AA Admirals' Club lounge in Terminal 2 at SFO (your flight could also depart from Terminal 1 which has an airside connector and only a 3 minute stroll).
Yes, have worked out the lounges (most important) thanks for the excellent info.
Yes that's when we used it 4.5 years ago
And there was big signs for Qantas, and people ushering us that way.
