Have your ride park in Hourly Parking and meet you downstairs at the baggage claim. If your ride parks for less than an hour parking is free. It is an easy in and out of Hourly Parking. You miss the arrival line.

Actually it is a leg of a cross country flight. Flights from DCA are limited to a non-stop distance of 1600 miles for political reasons. One flight used to go from DCA to IAD, then to the west coast.

Why can’t we devise a system where we check in a carry on bag and robots put it above your assigned seat. Imma move to San Fran and make a start up.
Did they stop this ? At one point they were running magical express it was just a limited schedule. Like 4 times a day as opposed to the number of runs from Orlando

cookout = blabbermouth?
Or maybe just have assigned carry-on slots above those seats rather than free-for-all bins?

I'm honestly surprised that airlines haven't figured out how to charge for this yet.

Some smaller airlines are already charging for carry-ons. Spirit and Frontier are two that come to mind.

Flying out of CLT for Thanksgiving and figured I'd go ahead and book a parking spot. Any preferences for the offsite parking companies? I see Park N Go and The Parking Spot charge the same rate.

it's like $5.95 a day...traveling Mon-Sat that week but figured it'd be nice to not have to worry about the regular airport lots being full
You're fine if you're leaving on Monday. You should be able to roll in and park.

Yeah, if you're leaving Monday you'll be fine to park anywhere. But if it's $6/day that's a pretty good rate too. I always use the daily deck for long term travel - over 6 days would cost you an extra $24 total.
Park n Go is very convenient. I used it all the time during the major construction. Now, I usually use the daily lot but there is a good argument that PnG is better - they pick you up and drop you off at your own car and get you out of all the airport congestion. It is better than Business Valet, IMHO. The only downside is the gravel lot, if that bothers you. I haven't tried The Parking Spot but I assume it is about the same.

yeah I get that it's probably ok, but since this is a busy travel week and we're driving down from Asheville would be nice to know just directly where to go rather than hunting among the various on-site lots and garages. we typically do park at the long term CLT lot, but sometimes it's challenging finding a spot and knowing which lot is your better bet.

I hate the long term lots out there. the deck is so much better for just a couple of dollars per day. But I have never tried the "offsite" lots - sounds like a good option!
