The airport's terminal area in its present state is characterized a mish-mash of architectural styles. To the south is a distinctively [[wp:Mid-Century modern|Mid-Century modern]] structure presumably dating back to the 1960s and clearly based on the [[wp:Theme Building|Theme Building]], while the northern section is dominated by post-modern architecture consisting of a U-shaped two-level main terminal connected to five gates (plus one freestanding gate), and the control tower and an inaccessible parking garage topped by a helipad. The modern terminal is marked by signage denoting not only different parts of the terminal, but also the levels of the terminal: Level 1 for the surface level, and levels 2 and 3 for lower levels. The player can purchase [[Juank Air]] flights to and from [[Las Venturas Airport]] and [[Easter Bay Airport]] for [[Money|$]]500 on level 1 of the terminal, but no flights actually take off or land under normal gameplay. | The airport's terminal area in its present state is characterized a mish-mash of architectural styles.

The 1960s | The 1960s wing is surrounded by open an air car park, which also feature light pillars that light up at night; the light pillars are based on those permanently added to the LAX for the 2000 Democratic National Convention, making their presence in the game anachronistic in the game's [[1992]] setting. | ||
Both sections of the complex include subterranean levels that also allow traffic to pass. The modern wing of the terminals features a recessed plaza at the same level as level 3, with skybridges at levels 1 and 2; levels 1 and 3 have road traffic with road connection between these two level possible via a ramp on the north end of the terminal, while level 2 is a strictly pedestrian level. The 1960s wing, on the other hand, has only one underground level with roadways running around the circular profile of the building. | Both sections of the complex include subterranean levels that also allow traffic to pass.
