My daughter flew out Friday night and I picked her up last night. It wasn't terrible. She got through security quickly. But all of security for everyone is in one line now. The line space set up was sort of intimidating and made me wonder if it might become a problem. But her experience Friday evening was that the line was short and it went quickly.
Not yet, our flight isn't for another month.
I hear parking is very expensive. The short-term garage is easy to maneuver. We park there when picking up visitors because the first hour is free. We're 10 minutes away and always take ride share there and a taxi (or metro depending on the hour/if we have baggage) home.
Do you or your daughter use Parking Spot?
I really liked how it was set up with security at each group of gates instead of one big line for everyone. We will be at the Hy-vee arena that day for the State wrestling tournament, and while it should be done long before my 8 pm flight, its a gamble. Last year it was almost 5 before they were done. But that was in Cape Girardeau, so maybe it will be more efficient at the Hyvee arena, who knows. I hadn't thought about the new terminal changing how security was run, because we don't fly from there often. Maybe late on a Sunday evening won't be too bad.
I loved it how it was. Still skeptical of how it will be going forward. A lot of it depends on how they keep that security area staffed. We had a great thing. I sure hope they didn't mess that up.
The Parking Spot is a parking option at the airport (they have them around the nation). They have uncovered and covered parking options. A shuttle picks you up at your car, gives you a ticket with your parking location listed, and takes you to the airport. They are located right by the airport just a few minute ride at least it was before.
I use a different company https://www.thefastpark.com/ that has lots in many cities. Same price or less for me as parking at the economy lot but it's a two minute shuttle to the terminal and secured.
That company isn't in KC although the premise is similar.
I use Fast Park at BWI and they just sent out an email offering 2x reward points per day of parking if you make a parking reservation ahead of time.
That's what I thought about DCA, but hadn't investigated enough to know.
My apologies- that’s how it copied and pasted
There are several hotels who rent garage parking and have shuttles every 30 minutes to Reagan for around $10 a day. We just paid $20 a day at our small local airport for a recent week long trip. I don’t mind spending money on food or attractions, but parking fees drive me crazy!
We used Spot Hero at Dulles last summer to park at a hotel garage and use their shuttle. We were satisfied with the service. I think my brother in law uses an app like fast park, forgot the exact name.
