Philadelphia Airport Parking Survival Guide

Philadelphia Airport ParkingHave 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.
