I found the new economy structure better than the old uncovered lot.
I just parked there for the first time and found it safe and efficient. Cost was comparable to what other nearby lots were charging. Though the main advantage is the use of an “exclusive lane” by its shuttles inside LAX. On the outbound flight it took me 15-20 minutes to go from exiting my car to arriving at UA’s check-in kiosks. Upon returning, with carryon luggage only, I went from exiting the gate to my car in about 20-25 minutes. It makes planning logistics much more predictable.
The drawback is the shuttle only runs on the arrival level, meaning if you have lots of luggage it could be a challenge to haul them to the departure level.
I normally hire a driver to bring me to LAX, though I won’t hesitate to use this economy structure again for shorter trips.
I had an advanced reservation with discounts.
