The South Concourse of the newly completed Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at Los Angeles International Airport is now up and running, which adds eight additional gates that can accommodate larger aircraft to the space.

Some facts about the $1.9 billion TBIT:

  1. The bathroom stalls have enough room for an individual and luggage.
  2. There are floor-to-ceiling installments of Environmental Media Systems with constantly changing displays—one of which senses when someone is in the vicinity and automatically starts the display.
  3. The terminal offers free Wi-Fi.
