LAX 1 hour connection T7 to T6 - is this doable?

Hi we are travelling on rewards points and for some reason the connection time through LAX is only 1 hour. Arriving from KONA with United in the early AM (Terminal 7) and departing to Toronto (Terminal 6) with Air Canada.

Last time we did this I think Air Cda was in a different terminal and we had to go though security and it was very tight.

Is this doable?

From United's map of LAX there is a secure walkway from terminal 7 to terminal 6 (see the dotted line on the image)

Thus you will not have to exit and re-enter security when changing terminals. So a 1 hour connection should be OK.

On a personal note, I once landed at Terminal 4, and followed the signs to Tom Bradley (via the dotted lines) and kept wondering "Where is security? I'm supposed to go through security to get into TB! Am I headed in the right direction?!?!?"

How long do I need to transfer at LAX?

As a general rule, 60 to 90 minutes should be enough for a transfer between domestic flights that doesn't require leaving security. Two hours is more reasonable for domestic transfers that require leaving security and rechecking, and three hours is a good idea if arriving from another country.

How long to walk between terminals LAX?

LAX Ground Transportation Post-Security (Airside) It takes around 5 to 8 minutes to walk between each terminal. If you need to travel between Terminals 2 and 3, you have the option to take an airside bus from level 2 ticketing/check-in. LAX recommends allowing 10 minutes to take the bus.

Can you walk between LAX terminals?

There are no physical airside connections between any of the other terminals. Inter-terminal connections between terminals 1, 2, and 3, and between them and the other terminals, require passengers to exit security, then walk or use a shuttle-bus to get to the other terminal, then re-clear security.
