It does seem that on the occassions you wait longer than usual, you will see multiples of every other shuttle. Of course, you completely forget about the times when your shuttle is the first one you see .

My advise: give them a call as soon as you're on the escalator down to the lower level.

If the South is an option -- they have just opened a bunch of uncovered spots that are slowly filling up week-by-week, but still no where near full - hence the 20%/30% coupon I presume.

If you are flying during peak periods and want to reserve a spot for a nominal fee, that is also an option. (I've flown near peak periods, not necessarily during them, and have neven had a problem at South)
