At one point the L.A. County Board of Supervisors proposed renaming the airport Jimmy Stewart International Airport, in honor of the late, lanky actor who earned a Distinguished Flying Cross while serving in the U.S. Air Force, but the City Council nixed the idea.
Carts are free for arriving international passengers.
The machines take credit cards, but do not make change. The airport's nine terminals are laid out in a large horseshoe pattern with the Tom Bradley International Terminal at the top. Terminal 1 serves mostly America West, US Airways, and Southwest Airlines. Terminal 2 hosts Air Canada, Northwest, Hawaiian Air, Virgin Atlantic, and others. Alaska Airlines, Trans World Airlines, Midwest Express, Horizon, and American Airlines work out of Terminal 3, while Terminal 4 primarily serves American Airlines and American Eagle flights.
