Parking @ LAX: https://book.flylax.com/book/LAX/Parking or LAX Official Airport Parking
Recommendations for selecting booking times and total booking periods: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34711926-post186.html
Note also that for booking close-in and and around holiday peaks, some of the off airport lots may offer advance rates that are very competitive with the LAX operated lots.
Interactive map of LAX on-airport (Central Terminal Area) parking status is linked here (includes links to nearby off airport parking if you scroll down)
Economy and Budget Lot Shuttle Tracker (bottom link, light blue) (as of 10/25/23 it seems to mostly show Budget Lot shuttles and some Economy Lot shuttles don't show up on the tracker)
Note that parking rates in the CTA structures increased on 10/19/21.
Economy Parking (structure in part of the old lot C location) opened 10/19/21.
Prebooking is available at substantial discounts for the CTA ($22 vs $60/day) and Economy ($15 vs $35/day) parking at this link
See most recent posts in thread for prebooking discount codes offered for airport operated parking lots.
Stupid Parking Tricks: The exit of P7 is onto World Way very close to the airport exit, making it difficult to get to the SB Sepulveda exit at peak times. P1 and P6 are nearly as close and exit onto Center Way, which is generally light traffic and easy to maneuver to the airport exit.
For prebooking, you must book at least 6 hours before your arrival.
For the Economy Lot, your QR code becomes active 4 hours prior to your booked arrival time
For CTA lots, the QR code becomes active 2 hours prior to your booked arrival time.
Note that access to the Economy Lot is only via Westchester Pkwy to Jetway Bl - there doesn't appear to be any shortcut via 96th.

Park 'N Fly @ Park One and LAX Lot C are permanently closed.
Lot E is permanently closed as of 7/26/21
With the limited availability of parking at LAX as travel picks back up, Van Nuys or Union Station+Flyaway bus may be a reasonable alternative:
Union Station Parking (at Patsouras Plaza) is $8/day. Make sure you're in Union Station East (the underground facility) and fill out and drop off the downloadable form if you'll be there longer than 3 days.
The Consolidated "LAX Flyaway Bus" Thread (2014 - Date) has up to date information on taking the flyaway bus; parking is $6 a day.

Strange experience booking for 69 h in a few weeks: Having a 0055 AA transcon, leaving Pasadena 10 pm, so I'm not considering Budget, which came up $31. So the cheapest Econ was $74, and cheapest of the CTAs was $112, but not all (P1-P7) appeared. Sure enough, I changed "airline" to not AA, and only then P1 (levels 2-4) appeared at $75! So I booked P1 and am planning to walk south across P7 to enter TSA at either 7/6/5/4.
Can someone tell me if the P1 entrance from upper-level southbound East Way is still there, unaffected by the APM track right above?

For P1 parking you can use upper or lower entrance. For upper entrance, the entrance is on the upper level of east way, for the lower entrance you go past the "premium parking" entrance and enter the second entrance that will route you immediately up the ramp to the second level. It's been easy to find parking near the center way side of the structure where all the T1 travelers don't want to be. Many of the stairwells are marked closed - I think I've always ended up going down the one at the corner of East Way and Center Way.
I think it hasn't been displaying all the CTA lots for me, too, but I haven't paid close attention. I'll start keeping track and do some experiments.
ETA: and the latest discount code I have is "FALLGO", reserve by midnight 10/21. 25% off budget, 15% economy, 20% off P1 and P7, 15% off CTA premium, and 10% off P7 valet.

Trying to book today for later this week and everything is coming up sold out, including budget, economy, and Van Nuys flyaway.
Not sure if it's a site issue or a real thing - I just had to cancel a reservation for later today and it wouldn't cancel online and I had to do it over the phone.
I tried some other dates farther in the future and it looks like a site issue.
ETA: It's showing availability now, but they don't seem to be able to process credit card payments or refunds.

VIPPARKER
Not sure if it is a typo or the LAWA just revised the discount, but "VIPPARKER" is supposed to now reflect a 25% discount on "Economy" parking. If so, that is the largest discount in recent memory. YMMV
