Parking Woes Solved at OHare

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

If you’ve been traveling for a long time, you have probably learned a very valuable lesson after your first three flights. What is it? Always book a parking space ahead of time. How can you do this? It is so much easier that you think especially if you are looking for OHare parking.

Check airport parking directories and you can easily find a parking space with affordable rates. Before you contact anyone, make sure that you compare prices first. You can also try to negotiate especially if you are thinking of leaving your car long-term.  Your best choice would be a space that can provide covered parking off-airport and with shuttle services available so you don’t need to get another car to travel back to the parking garage when you return.

Frustration can all lead you to all sorts of trouble especially when you haven’t gotten inside the plane yet! Do not let parking issues destroy your vacation before you even leave your locale. Getting an OHare parking by using on-airport facilities can be so annoying that you may even be tempted to cancel your flight when the stress level reach the worst. So, free yourself from this unwanted stress and check other options available around the area.

Security is of course a major concern but considering the people and car traffic at airports, it is more than plausible to put your valued vehicle to an off-airport parking lot which can even give you additional services like free valet parking, luggage assistance and discounts.

You don’t need to lose your temper, valuable time and money. Planning ahead is important to get the best deals from these parking services. Some hotels are also offering their lots for parking but this will mean more expensive parking rates.

With enough research and planning, your parking woes are easily resolved.

Chicago O’Hare UFO Report

Ok I have been hesitant about talking about this, but after hearing the report on Coast to Coast AM with Mr. Noury, I cannot be silent. I work for a major airline at O’Hare, I am a taxi mechanic. I have the job responsibility of moving aircraft under there own power from gate to gate or the hangar complex for maintenance. We also accomplish the engine run-up testing needed. So I hope that does something for establishing a little credibility for my report. I am still in absolute wonder and amazement at what I saw that afternoon.

Around 16:30 hours, a pilot made a comment on the radio about a circle or disc shaped object hovering over gate C-17 at the C concourse in Chicago. At first we laughed to each other and then the same pilot said again on the radio that is was about 700 feet above ground level. The day was overcast with the ceiling being reported at 1600 feet if I remember correctly. I was taxing a Boeing 777 from the International Terminal to the Company Hanger on the North side of the Airport.

As we passed the C Terminal on the Alpha taxiway we observed a dark gray hazy round object hovering over O’Hare International Airport. Is was definitely over the C Terminal. It was holding very steady and appeared to be trying to stay close to the cloud cover. The radio erupted with chatter about the object and the ATC controller that was handling ground traffic made a few smart comments about the alleged UFO sighting above the C terminal.

We had to continue moving the aircraft to the hangar. After parking I noticed the craft was longer there but there was an almost perfect circle in the cloud layer where the craft had been. The hole disappeared a few minutes later.

For the rest of the night there were jokes made on the radio about the sighting.

Airport Parking Tips for the Travelers on Budget

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

It is important to chalk out a plan before taking up of any venture and traveling is a venture that requires a neat and foolproof planning. The lion’s share of a travel plan involves budgeting. You have to find out the budget hotels in the holiday destinations, you have to grab the cheapest offers in the air tickets; you have to find out the discount car rental and so on. After making such an elaborate budgeting you are satisfied that you are going to have a superb holiday but at the minimum price.

But wait, your task of budgeting is not yet complete. Have you spared any thought for airport parking? Do you know how expensive it can be if you don’t plan for it in advance? Yes airport parking should also be an integral part of your travel planner. Not only it saves a lot of hassle prior to departure, it saves a lot of money too, if you plan for it tactfully in advance.

Just think of it! You could secure yourself a fine dinner or a nicer room with the money that you saved on airport parking by doing a little homework. Here are a couple of amazing tips that will help you to minimize all your parking expenses. Who can say, you may probably find out the strategy to terminate the parking cost altogether!

Before planning for airport parking just consider this question, why do you want to save on airport parking? This is because you want to utilize the saved money on such things that give you pleasure. Paying for parking is the last thing on the earth that makes you happy! So try to maximize the perks while looking for cheap airport parking. Here is a great idea: Why not check in the airport hotel for the night when you are scheduled to catch an early morning flight? Most of the airport hotel offers you a package deal in which room charge and parking both are included. Thinking how to reach to the terminal? Avail the hotel’s courtesy shuttles facility to reach the terminal. To avail this kind of facilities, you have to check with your airport hotel in advance.

So you get double benefits from the arrangement; first of all, you saved the strain of hitting the highway at night and on the other hand, you got the parking facility in return of a set price.

Here is another unusual way of saving on airport parking. Just log on to the websites of aggregators such as Airport Parking Shop or Airport Parking and Hotels (APH) and enter the name of the airport and travel date. They will be able to inform you about a free day of parking. There can be more discounts on the other days as well. Now a full free day of parking means a slashing of good $18 or more in the expensive airports like LaGuardia or O’Hare. And if you calculate the average, you will see your total gain is rather high.
