Philadelphia Airport Parking Survival Guide
Have
to fly out of the Philadelphia International Airport and
considering the “Do it yourself” approach to
parking? We took the liberty to prepare a “Philadelphia
Airport Parking Survival Guide” for you. This guide
includes a list of things that you will need to be prepared
to park at the Philadelphia International Airport. Good luck.
Item #1: A watch that is at least
a half an hour fast – When
parking at the Philadelphia International Airport, you are
going to need to factor in the amount of time it is going
to take you to circle the lot looking for an available parking
space. These lots tend to get pretty crowded and inexperienced
travelers never really anticipate how much time they actually
spend driving up and down every aisle of the parking lot.
If you have a watch that is at least a half an hour faster
than the actual time, you might trick yourself into creating
a “buffer zone” that might mean the difference
between making your boarding time and waving to the airplane
from the terminal as the flight you were supposed to be on
takes off.

Item #2: An extremely well toned
upper body, an extremely high tolerance for discomfort
or an extremely disposable wheel dolly – This
is an absolute must for a “self
parker” who might have over packed for their trip.
Any one of the above listed items are perfect for helping
you drag your luggage across the parking garage at the Philadelphia
International Airport. The first two are ideal when it comes
time to load and unload the luggage from your vehicle. Also,
remember to lift with your knees and not with your back;
lower back problems can be extremely painful. A lot of people
might consider lifting their luggage a multiple amount of
times and dragging it an extremely far distance a workout;
these people probably also don’t mind stinking like
sweat and being sore on an airplane.
Item #3: A separate parking budget, a major credit
card with no limit or the deed to any valuable possessions – It’s
no secret that parking in the Philadelphia International
Airport parking garage can be very expensive. The cost of
parking needs to be factored into the budget of your trip.
Awareness of these expenses should be expected to avoid injuries
from “jaw-dropping” or squinting really hard
at your receipt to see if there was some sort of pricing
mistake. Remember that the more money you spend on parking
means the less money you have to spend on “Dancing
Hula Girl” figurines from Hawaii for the dashboards
of your friend’s cars or world class Belgian chocolate
for yourself.
Item #4: A trusty raincoat, poncho, umbrella or
tarp
– Philadelphia
weather can be pretty unpredictable. It isn’t uncommon
for a flash rainstorm to appear out of nowhere and last just
long enough to soak through your shoes and socks. Chances
are it probably won’t stop raining until you are safely
inside the airport. There is nothing more uncomfortable then
being dripping wet on an airplane, whether you are on a 9
hour flight overseas or a short flight to Pittsburgh. All
of the most experienced travelers will tell you that being
dry is the only way to fly.
Item #5: Touch up paint – This is
of course for your vehicle, not yourself. Upon your arrival
back to the Philadelphia airport parking garage, it’s
more than likely that there may be a few surprises waiting
for you when you get to your vehicle. No, we aren’t
talking about your friends or family (not to discourage you,
they’ll probably
be there and we're sure they’re nice people). We’re
talking about the many dents and dings to your doors and
fenders, which are battle scars of your car spending too
much time in the overcrowded Philadelphia airport parking
lot.

(and we don’t use that term lightly) by taking advantage
