If you're a commuter, how do you go about finding out whether or not you're eligible for employee parking? I've talked to two different airport employees where I will be commuting from and neither had the slightest clue. Even tried to call airport ops and had no luck.

Some options are, get a ride to the airport or call around/search internet and see who offers an airport employee discount. I've come across some as low as $5/day.

Don't forget fedex or ups. With them once you sign up for the Jumpseat it's your seat. Not even another fedex/ups guy can bump you off it.

I used to do the AFW-ORD commute and it was the latest flight (2am) I could take to show for a 6am show in ORD and I usually had the whole row of 4 seats to myself and the cargo containers.

Kfahmi:

If you are at north field/Kaiser/Landmark at OAK walk 2-3 minutes to where the rental car buses drop off/pickup. Its one bus system, no Hertz or Avis buses. Buses to/from the main terminal go every five minutes or so. They do no care whether you rented a car or not. At least I never had a problem. There are even places you can park near to Kaiser, if you're sly, without going in their lot and can probably get away with it for a few days without paying anything, or getting a ticket/tow. I will not guarantee that, but again, its worked for me.

You are absolutely right -- I totally forgot about the new rental car shuttle. My hangar is like a 5 minute walk from that shuttle. Perfect :)

That's kind of awesome actually!
