one way

As a US citizen, if you are fully vaccinated you need proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test result taken no more than 3 days before travel. If you are NOT fully vaccinated you need a negative COVID-19 test result taken no more than 1 day before travel. Source

 

The pre flight test can be a PCR or antigen swab test. Source

 

Since you will be transiting before arriving at LAX, check that the transit country or airline does not have additional, more stringent requirements. If you transit through Singapore, for example, the test requirement is 2 days. before the flight. 

You need a negative Covid (PCR) test taken 72 hours prior to your flight. You present that at check-in at airport and you are good to go. As some say, certain airlines may have other requirements if transiting some countries.

***  Effective November 8, 2021, all non-immigrant, non-U.S. citizen air travelers to the United States will be required to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane to the United States.

U.S. citizens and Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) who are eligible to travel but are not fully vaccinated will need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test one (1) day before their flight. U.S citizens and LPRs who are fully vaccinated will need to present airlines with proof of vaccination and of a negative COVID-19 test three (3) days before their flight.
