Commuting Parking?
Hey all. Just hoping for some advice or tech's for parking for commuters. I'll be living in LIT (parking about $8/day) and commuting to ORD. Do the airlines have their own lots or do they cover parking expenses? Any recommendations on how to
Minimize parking costs? No, I don't have wife to drop me off.
Thanks!!

Some carriers will reimburse for employee parking up to what it would cost them in your domicile - depends on company policy, your contract and most importantly, if there is employee/crew parking available at your "home" airport.

Check with the airport parking authority or other lots around the airport...they usually have commuter rates like monthly or quarterly. Check with your airline, too. Some won't pay for parking passes outside of your domicile, but it depends on your contract.

You should be able to get an employee pass, it's what I did at all the airports I commuted into/out of (IND/LAX/OAK). Contact the parking authority and see what a monthly pass costs. Depending on how long you are gone, it may make sense to pay daily rather than a monthly/quarterly pass.
Also, at my airline, since employee passes are free at ORD, we are not reimbursed for parking (it is capped to the maximum parking rate at your domicile, if that makes sense.)
