Most airlines participate in TSA Pre now, including Air France, and this will save you a significant amount of time over the normal security lane. Just walk towards the back of the terminal, turn left and follow the signs for TSA Pre. Pro tip: There are no priority security lanes for business/first-class passengers in the TBIT terminal but if you have CLEAR or TSA Pre, you can use the dedicated lanes to the left of the terminal for faster clearance. Even in the Sky Priority lane, it took me over 30 minutes to check in and drop off a bag. They were clearly understaffed and only four counters were open to handle all the departing passengers. I arrived at approximately 3:30 PM for my 6:30 PM flight and the check-in area was a complete mess.
Their check-in counters are located in the B counter area and the counters open approximately four hours prior to their scheduled departure time. At LAX – Los Angeles International Airport, Air France operates from the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
