AUS Parking
 
Does anyone here commute from Austin? I am just coming off of medical leave for the past 2 years. Before my leave, I paid $50/mo for employee parking with no issues. Now, they are telling me that I cannot do that, that I need to be added to my airline’s account to use employee parking. What do commuting pilots do for parking now?

“where otherwise allowed by the local parking authority”. Apparently AUS doesn’t allow it anymore. The kid frying chicken at the Fly-Rite gets a spot, no questions asked. The guys trying to get to work flying the planes that the airport was built for…nah.

Well then, maybe you should apply for a part time job frying chicken at the Fly-Rite

Problem solved!

The kid works there every day, and also makes 10 to 20 times less than you so….

Is the airport there to sell chicken sandwiches or to transport people and goods on planes? And you are correct, they know they can flip pilots the bird because we have much more invested than the kid flipping burgers. Guessing you have a place to park?

You understand that the majority of FLL pays the daily rate in the garage bc the employee parking is an absolute shiit show.

You have a place to park. It’s called the long term lot.

So you also have a place to park?

The Capital Metro's Route 20 (Manor Road/Riverside) and the MetroAirport Flyer are the primary city bus options for getting to and from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). Route 20 runs frequently, with service every 15 minutes, 7 days a week. The MetroAirport Flyer is a faster, more direct option, with service every 20 minutes and stops in downtown and at the University of Texas.

There you go, now you have options. You asked, APC answered, let it die.

Hilarious that everyone talks trash…who also has a place to park 😂. Not sure what else I was expecting from APC. Thought maybe someone might provide something useful. Why start today?
