The @flyLAXstats deal with used to offer reside updates of visitors, parking and screenings circumstances. Sadly, they stopped updating the screening traces info however you’ll find them within the MyTSA App.
The rationale I believe each traveler driving to LAX ought to seek the advice of the @flyLAXstats earlier than they depart for the airport or whereas en route when you have a rideshare, automotive service or a beloved one dropping you off or selecting you up is due to the real-time info on visitors (up to date each half-hour) and parking (up to date each half-hour).
I used to be reminded of this yesterday, once we have been working late for our flight and after rapidly wanting on the stats, I noticed that if we wished to make our flight, I wanted to inform our driver to enter by way of a special entrance and go to Arrivals as an alternative of Departures. 
You’ll be able to see within the screenshot above the large distinction in occasions between the higher (Departures) and decrease (Arrivals) ranges, in addition to the three entrances.
Per LAWA’s press unique launch, “@FlyLAXstats feed will present journey occasions to the Central Terminal Space from Sepulveda/Westchester; from Century/405; and by way of the 105 from the 405. It is going to additionally embrace the time it takes a automotive to navigate the central terminal space loop on both the decrease or higher stage.”
As I wrote in my LAX-JFK journey report final week, “I received dropped off at LAX by an Uber Black at 6am for my 7am flight. I had him drop me off at arrivals since departures is normally jam full of visitors. He confirmed that departures is normally busy till 10am and arrivals is empty, then vice versa. He additionally mentioned that Saturday is the least crowded day, adopted by Tuesday and Wednesday. That’s what I’ve been telling readers for a very long time however I believe it’s within the reverse order when it comes to airline passengers. I believe Saturday is sluggish for Uber drivers as a result of there aren’t many enterprise vacationers.”
Along with journey occasions, “the account supplies real-time parking updates, exhibiting parking area availability within the Central Terminal Space parking buildings in addition to the brand new Economic system Lot E. Parking info comes immediately from LAX parking techniques and may also be discovered on our FlyLAX.com web site.”
Even when you aren’t on X, I extremely suggest you a minimum of go to on the @FlyLAXstats handle’s page earlier than you head to LAX so you realize what to anticipate (the sooner you examine it, the higher).
