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 Lot Shuttle Tracker (bottom link, light blue)
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 $50/day) and Economy ($15 vs $25/day) parking at this link
See most recent posts in thread for prebooking discount codes offered for airport operated parking lots.
For prebooking, you must book at least 6 hours before your arrival.
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.
Fly LAX Official Twitter Feed with general information.
Fly LAX Stats Official Twitter feed with parking lot occupancy and time to T1 from points outside the airport and time through the U on the upper and lower levels.
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 $5 a day.

They sent me the DST10 and DST15 codes a half hour apart this morning, along with a "you haven't booked with us for a while". I booked two parking reservations with them a couple days ago.

I have to say, I have some sort of problem just about every time I park here. Granted, many are due to construction, but some just seem to be errors in the system.
I recently arrived to park at P3. I get there and, guess what? Totally closed. I circle around and see a sign that says to go to P4. Fine. I pull in, show the woman my QR code and she lets me past the cones. But my QR doesn't work. I call, and then guy says that even though it's for that day, I used it weeks ago. Huh? I did park weeks ago, but that was a different reservation that got screwed up due to different construction in P2. So he theorizes that they applied this parking money to that time slot when they fixed it manually. Fine. Whatever. In the meantime, I have a flight to catch, I'm wasting time, and I now need to walk back over to Delta from P4. So he lets me in and says he'll work on it on his side.
I expect more fun when I try to get my car out in a few days.
The whole point of paying extra to park at the terminal is for the convenience and time savings and both are diminished when this doesn't work right.

Now that they seem to have the buses running frequently, I'm not convinced that there's any added convenience at all to parking in the CTA - you have to factor in the time driving in and out of the horseshoe, while the bus from Economy gets to use the express lanes.
I have a few more CTA booked for now but maybe I'll swap one over to econ.

Demand must be light - I just did a couple close-in rebookings and it was the same as a couple weeks ago, but now 15% cheaper because of the discounts.

New promo for official LAX Economy lot site - good for bookings made March 17 through 19. 15% off using code: "SPD15".
Fine print is contradictory about how far in advance one can book. I was able to use the code for a five-day trip near the end of April ($76.49 total):

On one of the recent ones that was a few-day long sale I emailed them when the site didn't honor the code that was supposed to be valid for another 12 hours (and they'd just emailed me a reminder). After a couple days I got an email back that they were applying a credit to the booking.
