Default FedEx LAX Parking

I will be moving to the LA area in a few weeks, and will likely need to commute on FedEx. Can anyone give me advice on where to park at LAX? I previously commuted from OAK, and I know at that hub I was able to park in the employee lot. Wasn't sure if I would be able to do that at LAX.

Thanks for the help!

I have no idea but I bet it's tough - you need a card to get in the lot - not even sure if the shack is manned anymore. FedEx non LAX pilots can get access but haven't heard of non FDX pilots getting in.

Default FedEx LAX Parking

I fly out of LA. Think your best option is to buy parking passes from the Parking Management Office. They're located in parking structure 2A on arrivals level. Passes are $45/mo and requires an airline ID.

You could 1) buy a parking pass for any of the regular employee lots (A, B, C...whatever letter identifier they give them) and get a cab over to FedEx. Or, 2) buy an ICC (Imperial Cargo Complex) lot pass. Where that lot is actually located is anyone's guess. You'll only frustrate yourself if you ask the 2 older ladies that sell the passes. Typical "I only sell the passes, don't look further into my job" mentality. The pass office only knows that ICC is somewhere on southern part of LAX. That mysterious lot should be closer to FedEx.

Good luck.

Thank you for the responses Tuck and Fred! I think I'll do some recon on the ICC pass, and if I can get any info I'll post it so others can utilize it.

I just talked to LAX Fedex Security. If you are jumpseating with Fedex, you first need to go to the front desk security and identify yourself, show your ID, and then tell them the flight you are jumpseating on. They will then direct you to the Fedex lot entrance and remotely open the gate for you to enter once you get to the gate - they have cameras at the front desk. Ask them where you need to park in the lot.
Parking is tight, so if you are going to be looking to park at Fedex often, then you may need to make other arrangements.

Thank you for taking the time to check! It's nice to know I have that option if I need it in a pinch. I may use it the first few times until I get the lay of the land. If I can figure out where the ICC lot is I will probably try and get a pass there, I hate to take up a spot in your employee lot for a week at a time when I'm already bumming a free ride.
