The whole city triples in size when you can’t remember where you live.

Pay no mind to ftb. Pray tell more. I will occasionally park at Park-N-Ticket off Camp Creek, and they, like other lots on Camp Creek offer a sweetheart deal for Delta employees.
What does Fast Park offer? As someone who must swing around 285, this could potentially change my life. Especially if I come off the hip for a Peach Pass.

Register on DeltaPerks and its 6.50/day. 8th day free. Covered parking. Pick up at car, less than 5 min ride. Intl side is a totally different airport. Short walk to KCM.

I show up in such a better mood.

Also on Perks, can set up a commuter account which sets aside pre tax dollars for commuting expenses, loaded into debit card. For sime unknown reason it takes a few months, but worth it.

Not worried about sharing snd ruining a good thing. Cause I understand how cheap pilots are. Ive had guys who make 500k a year give me the incredulous "you PAY for parking!?"

The worst part of my life was the employee parking lot--meaning my life was pretty darn good. But as a wise man once said, if you have a problem you can afford to solve with money, its not a problem, its an expense.

I hate riding the employee bus too, but why not just park in the LS parking lot? Other than being uncovered it's the same as pay for parking(but it's free). Better frequency, not crowded, short walk to KCM.

Hey now.

What sputnik said. 6.50. Covered parking for all. You get a card and insert that on the way in and on way out then pay. All the vans are new. Workers are great. I tip both times.

Vast majority of the time the van is behind you as you shut off your car and they zoom you straight in, about 5 minutes max. Kcm is on the south side of the tsa lines and very quick. They do a great job on pickup. 24 hours.

Most fellow employees (pilots, FAs, gate agents too) I've had on the bus is 5. Most of the time it's just me. They run that often. It is just on the east side of 75 on the north side of the quick.

Have only parked 1 time in parking lot in 15 months. The 1 time was like... oh right... as I stood on a packed bus at 545am.

I will vouch that I don't feel dehumanized like I do on the employee bus. It's pleasant, professional, love walking into F. Starbucks. Etc.

Other than we have been instructed NOT to park there.....(many still do, and many still non-rev out of either lot......)

I'm paranoid they might yell at me if I break the rules!

You are allowed to park in this lot as long as you are on duty.

I'll echo the positive Fast Park comments. My biggest "issue" is that the van is often behind my car before I even get out. I have to ask them to wait a sec so I can put my tie on!

I've parked in the employee lot twice the past two years. Both times reminded me why I hate it so much.

I have the Fast Park card with Delta rate, as well as the Wage Works commuter card for paying. "Tax equivalent" I'm paying about $5/day for parking. I save 10 minutes just in the drive time (I usually drive around that side of 285 to/from work). I probably save another 20-30 avoiding the employee lot "experience." It is worth it!
