Looks like I'm going to be commuting out of KRDU in the near future. Anyone have any gouge on commuter parking, who to talk to, how much, and what not?

Thanks in advance.
 
If you have a NC drivers license you can get non-based commuter parking for $17(?) a month parking in the employee lot. You talk to the parking authority. Otherwise there is another option, can't remember what it was, that you park in lot 3 vs. lot 4. You pay 6 months at a time. It's relatively inexpensive, and you take the bus which runs every 10-15 mins.

It's a good airport to commute out of, no inherent delays, terminals are connected by a walking underground walkway, and lots and lots of flights for a non-hub.
 
Thanks. Not looking forward to a two leg commute to NYC when I can go direct. The only difference is a 1+30 to 2+00 minute drive to RDU as opposed to a 10 minute drive to the airport at home.

Don't quote me on this, but I think the parking office's policy is that you have to live within a certain radius of the airport to qualify. I know there's several guys who drive up from the coast who don't qualify for it and use Preflight or one of the private companies and get a deal on it. There's a Delta gate/ticket agent who has the info on it and will sign the paperwork for you if you qualify--I can get her name if you'd like so you can shoot her an email.

You mean one of the offsite parking places? And yes, please PM her info if you don't mind.

If you have jumpseat priviledges, you can jump on Eagle. We have direct flights to LGA out of RDU.

I was more interested in the JBLU or Eagle flights to JFK. I finally broke down and followed Dough's advice to ditch ATL for JFK.




Actually, I got displaced....
 
I think CHQ has two ERJ flights a day, too from RDU-JFK. And of course there are a ton of flights to LGA.

I've heard this also.

But the details were specific countys that you had to be living in nearby- and they want copies of drivers license/home utility bills to make this proof for the employee lot is what i've been told by some of my commuting friends from there. I only occasionally go over to RDU-it seems like of all things i'm working those flights more than commuting on them

That is the non-based commuter parking option that you are speaking of. There is another option, but I can't remember what it is right off the bat. Someone in my base had to use it because they didn't have a local DL.
