PHX does have a few different options including a per-month terminal deal which I don’t have info for, but Parking Spot 2 is $6 per day (shuttle ride and tip to add but you can build rewards points), East Economy is $7/day (airport train accessible).

So basically $21-$28 on airport per average trip.

I pay $80/mo in ATL for easy, fast, covered parking. No shuttle to worry about either. Honestly, I would pay for this anyway as opposed to company-paid parking in “the lot” f it was offered.

One engine run or gate return pays for a couple months of parking lol. Not really a big deal to me IMO

$60/mo uncovered in PHX at the economy lots. East economy garage (covered) is $7 a day.

For the OP:

Not sure how long you have to go to retirement, but if you've got a few decades, and you're gonna move to a domicile, move TO the domicile.

Draw a 1 hour (drive) circle around BWI, find a place you can afford/stand to live, and enjoy a long rewarding career with the least amount of stress and hassle.

As someone that commuted on airplanes for a decade, and then did a 180 mile one way (3-5 hours) drive for 18 years, trust me when I say that the long drive commute, while light years better than depending on the JS to commute, will get real old, real fast, especially in the NE corridor.

In lost (extra work) opportunity alone, (not counting the direct costs, which were substantial), that commute cost me, easily, into the 7 figure$ of potential career earnings.

Even though I loved where I lived, it was definitely not worth it. My QOL absolutely sucked.

I moved within 45 mins of my domicile a few years ago, and it is not an overstatement when I say that it has been truly life changing.

F#ck that. I work to live. Not the other way around.
