Terminal 1 and Concourse 0 (the future T1 extension to be used by Southwest) will become one terminal, called the Terminal 1; terminals 2 and 3 will be merged under the name of Terminal 2; the TBIT (Tom Bradley International Terminal) will be renamed. Terminal 3; then, again, terminals 7 and 8 will also be merged and renamed Terminal 7; finally, LAX plans to build the future Terminal 9, which, however, will be called the Terminal 8. Gates, as mentioned, will also change their name: in their case a alphanumeric system consistent with the Terminal (for example, at T1 there will be A1 and B1 gates, at T2 there will be C1 and D1 gates, and so on ).
The LA airport's idea is a noble one: to allow the millions of transit passengers to find their way around more easily; although, judging from what one reads on Twitter and in various forums, world travelers seem more confused than facilitated.
