Not all of us are willing to pop for that $20/day garage parking and its five minute (max) walk to the security checkpoint though

... with the blue bus (Economy Self-Park, $6/day) or green bus (Remote Valet, $7/day), I try and get to the MCI parking lot at T+60, but I've always been a bit conservative.
