It’s a safe bet that parking at the Philadelphia airport was
difficult back in October of 1927, which was the day The
Spirit of Saint Louis; piloted by Charles A. Lindbergh
(first man to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean) made a
stop at the Philadelphia airport. The years have marched
steadily forward and as America changed, so too has the
airport and parking facilities in and around the
Philadelphia International Airport.

FACT: Having logged over 9,884,003 passengers this year
alone, the Philadelphia International airport is one of the
busiest airports in the world and airport parking a very
real concern.

The facility itself has changed dramatically from its
inception in 1925 to the ultra modern facility of 21st
century, ranked the 9th busiest airport in the world. It
features multiple terminals, hundreds of ground-level
short-term parking spaces and amenities that serve people
from around the world. 2001 saw the opening of two new
terminals which nearly doubled the size of the airport to
2.4 million square feet accommodating a record 31.5 million
passengers traversing its 120 boarding gates in 2005.

FACT: In March 2006, Philadelphia International Airport
commenced a $200 million renovation project.

As the airport continues to grow, so must the infrastructure
that supports it. The facility is surrounded by world class
parking facilities offering the latest in amenities; valet
service, free baggage assistance, car warming, snow removal,
24 hour free shuttle service, guaranteed space with
reservation, 24 hour surveillance, fenced lots, car care
services and more.

We all travel for different reasons, love, jobs, vacations,
adventure, wanderlust, but we all need to arrive at the
airport comfortable with the knowledge that when we park our
cars at any of the airport parking in and around the
Philadelphia international airport, our vehicles will be
there, safe and sound, (washed and detailed if you wish)
when we return home.

When the alarm goes off in the cold gray dawn, your eyes pop
open (mine somewhat slowly), the coffee brews and countless
details flash through your mind; did I pack enough clothes,
is the hotel reserved, will my party be there to meet me, do
I have enough cash, what can I (or can’t I) carry onboard.
There are scores of facts flitting through our heads and the
least of them may be; where am I going to park my car? And
while I understand your priorities, you need to realize
you’re driving toward the 9th busiest airport in the world;
and as you merge into traffic, hundreds (possibly thousands)
have the exact same destination in mind airport philadelphia
parking - where? It is the wise and savvy traveler who
knows IN ADVANCE, the best route and exactly which airport
parking facility they’ll be using.

By planning ahead, you can find off-site nearby airport
philadelphia parking that will save you money as well.
