The Qantas web site says the airside bus still exists, although it's not
clear whether it's limited to QF passengers.

R's,

I need to get a new newsreader. Somehow, I did not see the original
post about this shuttle, but I did see the two replies citing it.

I did a Google search, and I found a post from a few years back where
a Qantas passenger said he took this shuttle from T4 to TBIT, but that
they would not let a Cathay Pacific passenger on the bus to make the
same trip. I hope things have changed since then.

Inter-terminal Transfers

Qantas passengers arriving at LAX Terminal 4, who are traveling to Sydney or
Melbourne or New York, can easily and conveniently transfer to TBIT by way
of a complimentary dedicated shuttle service departing from Gate 44. The
shuttle is for same day Qantas connecting passengers and operates daily from
4.00pm to midnight, eliminating the need for repeat security screening.

For other connections, an inter-terminal bus provides free transportation
between all LAX terminals on a regular basis, which can be accessed from the
center island on the Arrivals level from all terminals.

American Airlines connections depart from Terminal 4;
Alaska or Horizon connections depart from Terminal 3; and
Qantas code share flights on Mexicana to Mexico, Air Pacific to Fiji and
Air Tahiti Nui to Tahiti all depart from TBIT

I'd walk rather than circumnavigate the airport in a shuttle.....good to
stretch the legs unless disabled. s
