Parking vs. Transportation to Airport - In
many cities, parking at the local airport can add significantly to your travel cost, especially if you plan to
be gone more than just a few days. For lengthier trips, the airport shuttle can save a significant amount of
money.
Though this section is for transportation to and from your home airport,
some also like to arrange their transportation from the destination airport to their hotel in advance to avoid
lines at busy airports.

ParkSleepFly -
Airports hotels with parking packages have become a favorite among seasoned
travelers. Often less than the cost of airport parking alone, these packages, called Airport Hotel Park and
Fly, Park and Fly, Stay Park and Fly and many other names, offer convenient parking and hotel accommodation
options when you leave or return from your vacation.
If you have en early morning depature, why not book an airport hotel that offers Park, Sleep
and Fly packages, staying the night before you depart, rather than leaving home in the early hours of the
morning? A good night's sleep at a hotel located close to the airport can alleviate the fear of missing your
flight due to heavy traffic, bad weather or airport security measures.
In many cases, the cost of the Park Sleep and Fly hotel packages with free airport parking is
about the same as the airport parking alone. Our site offers Pre-Flight Airport and Hotel Parking at special
discounted rates. Don't miss your flight, stay overnight!

Airport Transit Guide
-A handy guide for either the frequent
traveler or one who wishes to reduce the unknowns such as how to get from airport into town, this should prove
to be an invaluable guide: Salk International'sAirport Transit Guide (24th
Year)(this link will take you to
Amazon). This guide lists times, costs, routes and frequency of ground services to
and from 460 airports around the world. It is the bible for ground transportation. (last
updated in 2006; may only be available in limited quantities)
Although everyone's individual needs differ, the choices
vary widely between airports. Some have trains that are very convenient and much cheaper than taxi service (if
you are not burdened with too much luggage). Others may only have taxi service that is not well regulated and
you need to have some idea as to what a "fair" fare should be before you get in.
