Delta cuts ribbon to new LAX Headhouse

Delta held a ribbon-cutting ceremony today for the completion of phase I of their new Headhouse at LAX. Officially opens April 20 along with new Sky Club.

Still to come later in year is completion of West Headhouse at T3 and Concourse along with renovation of T2 and connector to TBIT next year.

Anyone have more info on what will happen to the existing check-in and baggage claim at T2?

Amazing progress. Will they raze T2 and rebuild it?

Delta One services were not mentioned (unless I missed it Delta’s press release).

Will Delta have Delta One services like they did in T5?

No. It will be renovated and altered. For example, the security area will be removed with more space added for concessions, etc. Few changes will happen to the concourse.

I'm getting Stapleton vibes from the photos. Not an exact match obviously, but it certainly looks "inspired by" Old Denver.

Eventually. It will either be in the T3 headhouse addition or where check-in is presently located in T2. I suspect it will be in the T3 headhouse addition. There will also be a D1 lounge.

What is the meaning and usage of the term "Head house?"

Sounds like a location male passengers use to releave themselves.

A headhouse is the landside, non-secure portion of a terminal.

And includes: check-in, security screening, baggage claim, immigration and customs.

Ceilings couldn't be raised unless Delta found a new location for the new SkyClub which was impossible given its huge size. Floor heights are very limited at LAX due to the road network and APM.

Maybe this is more appropriate for the LAX thread but I'll ask it here:
Right now DL is using T2 and TBIT for departures. A couple questions on that:
1) Will the T2 FIS open in April when the headhouse opens?
2) How do they determine what flights use TBIT? I know that many of the INTL-LAX-XXX flights tend to use TBIT, particularly if the aircraft does not spend much time at LAX (i.e. today's departure to MEM used TBIT gate 131; the inbound came from Cabo San Lucas). However, there are other flights that are assigned to the TBIT even if they did not just do an intl run (i.e. DCA and the early morning flights to BOS and SJD tend to use TBIT regularly). Is there a system in which flights get assigned to T2 vs. TBIT?
