Airport Parking - ATL
Quick question for the ATL live-in-base pilots: I’m looking for the easiest airport parking in ATL. I just bought a house 30 minutes south of the South economy parking lot, but just wanted to know if anybody had any gouge on better/cheaper options that decrease stress of getting to the gate. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Humbly yours,

Not sure what the airport parking lots cost these days. I use Preflight, which borders the Delta employee lot. Discounts available for several places on Delta perks page. I pay 10/day for covered. Picked up/dropped off at my trunk. Worth every penny!

Depending on your particular location, consider the International side. FastPark is covered for $9.20/day (with discount, including allowance for single day use). In heavy use times, they take reservations. They also pickup/drop off at car, and “F” security is always light by comparison, with a shorter walk (unless you start/finish on “T”).

Additionally, on Perks you can sign up for a "computer benefit account" or something similarly named. It allows you to put pretax money on a debit card to be used for work parking expenses.
Takes about three months for the card to go active for reasons I've never understood. But the tax savings helps take the sting out of paying to park.
Another vote for fast park.

Yikes. Just saw the Parking Spot new price. End of an era, the $4/day was an amazing deal. Parking Spot 2 is still $6.50/day. At those prices the convenience of Fast Park for a couple of dollars more is absolutely worth it. Just keep in mind the 2 day minimum which can be waived by a manager if you call as a crewmember

Parking Spot 2 is the TSA's parking lot now. Bus availability and service has gotten BAaaaaAD. Expect lines when the TSA has shift changes and lots of the old "chat and cut" action which puts anyone out of blue, out in back.
PS2 must pay less than everyone else because they are also having a heck of a time keeping drivers.
Company Camp Creek isn't that bad. I think it is the fastest to the gate unless flying International out of F. The only real downside is the bus routes coming FROM work after a rotation. Construction at the airport and closed gates can make the ride to the lot from the airport a 45 minute deal.
