What’s your favorite part of traveling? Maybe it’s the food, new cultures, or sightseeing — but probably not trying to park at the airport.

  1. Book parking online as soon as you book your flight | Booking online is always cheaper, and the only way to guarantee a spot (especially during busy periods)
  2. Scan your QR code at the kiosk at your selected lot when you arrive | Pro tip: Take a photo of your row + section to easily find your car later
  3. Take a brief ride on the SkyConnect train from Economy, an elevator ride from Short Term, or quick walk from Long Term
