Last time I flew to Asia via LAX, all American Airlines flights were stuck in the claustrophobic Terminal 4. \u00a0That created a problem on the return leg. Since LAX is the port of entry, what AA had to do was park the plane at Terminal 4 and force the passengers to trudge to the (very nice and very new) Tom Bradley International Terminal, clearing passport control and collecting baggage.
