Hold on, How Economical Are We Talking Here?
Pretty darn economical, my friend. We're talking a flat fee of $15 for a whopping 24 hours. That's right, you can park your chariot (or, you know, your slightly dented Honda Civic) for a whole day without your wallet weeping.
Side note: This price is so good, you might be tempted to, you know, borrow your neighbor's car and live out your wildest Thelma and Louise fantasies. But let's stick to responsible parking, shall we?
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Usually Is)
Here's the real kicker: PHL's Economy Lot boasts a fleet of complimentary shuttle buses that run 24/7. So, you can park your car, hop on a comfy shuttle, and be whisked away to your terminal in no time. No need to break a sweat lugging your suitcase across a mile of asphalt.
Translation: You can relax and maybe even pretend you're some kind of VIP getting chauffeured around.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
Is There a Catch? (Because There's Always a Catch, Right?)
Well, not really, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Parking is first-come, first-served. So, if you're planning on arriving at the airport at the crack of dawn for a 6 AM flight, you might want to consider another option (like convincing your best friend to drive you).
- The Economy Lot is a bit of a trek from the terminals. But hey, that's what those sweet shuttles are for!
Pro Tip: If you're feeling peckish after your shuttle ride, there's a good chance you'll be dropped off right next to a delicious Auntie Anne's Pretzels. Just sayin'.
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
