495 $200 American Airlines Giveaway sponsored by AirportParking.org

I learned that The cheapest option is often parking your car at a central location near or at a bus or train station and taking the public transportation to the airport. Many train and bus stations offer very cheap rates for parking and then you just have to pay the fare to the airport, which should never be more than a few dollars.

Thanks for the great giveaway!!

The first thing I learned is that they don't have information for any airport within 300 miles of me! LOL! But since I have flown out of ATL before, it's nice to know that I can get safety information from this website should I ever need it.

DYING to fly to see my brothers(I raised them after my mom died) and haven't seen them in over 1 and 1/2 yrs..They had their first paying gig with their band last night, and I couldn't be there:(

Went to check out the site and learned this tip:

The cheapest option is often parking your car at a central location near or at a bus or train station and taking the public transportation to the airport

I can relate to this because I think public transportation is great especially in our economy and when gas is SO high lol

This is a very timely contest for me...I perused airportparking.org considerably and determined that it is still too expensive for me to access an airport lounge! It was also nice to see that PDX and MSP are among the easiest mid-sized city airports to reach. We live in Oregon--but my husband's family lives in MN. Husband and kids will be flying back in October for nephew's wedding.
Thanks for the giveaway!

London has long been known as one of the busiest metros in the world for air travel. While most large metros around the world are served primarily by one, maybe two airports, London on the other hand is served by 5.

DIANE48M@AOL.COM said...

I love knowing that i can enter airport lounges because of Priority pass parking..here is the info i leaRNED


Priority Pass is a private company that has deals with various airport lounges around the world. Members pay a yearly fee to have access to these lounges. Membership starts at less than $100, but there are several tiers of membership, with unlimited access costing upwards of $300 per year. Priority Pass has a worldwide reach, but some airports only have one or two venues that allow PP members to enter. If your gate is not in the same concourse or terminal as the lounge, this could be an inconvenience.

Jen M said...

I learned that parking farther away is a great way to save money on airport parking and most have shuttles to the airport for free!
