LAX Airport Parking

Missing the X

Often referred to by its airport code LAX, the Los Angeles International Airport is the second busiest in the United States in terms of international passengers, falling only slightly behind JFK International. Because existing airports before the 1930s were named for their respective weather stations and designated with two-letter abbreviations, the former moniker, LA had to become today's commonly used abbreviation, LAX once the aviation industry grew. Thus, the X denotes a missing space in the airport code, but you certainly won't find any empty spaces when searching for LAX airport parking.

It is the busiest airport in California and a major hub for both United Airlines and Alaska Airlines. Most interesting about this particular airport, though, is its percentage of "origin and destination" flights (versus connecting flights); it handles more of these types of flights than any other airport in the world. This, of course, means that most of the people traveling to or from LAX are not just passing through, and will need some form of LAX airport parking. If your budget is much unlike that of the movie star inhabitants of Los Angeles, then you might be looking for something other than the super-easy, super-expensive valet service offered by LAX airport parking authorities. Luckily for most of us, movie stars are flying their own personal jets and not crowding LAX with their Mercedes'. You also have the option of making things more private and personal with privately owned parking spaces, parking garages, and parking lots located within the area surrounding LAX.

Buried Treasure

You will definitely want to guarantee some form of LAX airport parking in order to fully appreciate the "Theme Building" before rushing off to your destination. Constructed in 1961, the "Theme Building" looks much like a UFO and houses a restaurant with a grand view of the airport. It was recently renovated with a fun, futuristic interior, making this an even more attractive site. Any LAX airport parking directly related to the airport may put you far away from the "Theme Building" and force you to pay up to $30 per day.

Booking online is the easiest way to avoid the trouble of LAX airport parking, and Parkingspotter is the perfect place to start.
