Freedom Park at DFW?
I received a postcard in the mail today from an outfit called Freedom Park. It is a valet parking firm for DFW. It's $17.50 a day plus tax and claims they will meet you at the curb in front of the terminal and then deliver your car at the curb when you return. Has anyone heard of this service? I remember that DFW had Valet parking a few years ago but it didn't last long. The postcard also mentions that you will get 500 Aadvantage miles the first time you use the service and give the postcard the attendant.

That's only $1.50 more/day than the terminal garages.

I know a driver who will pick you up and drop you off at your house in a Limo for $100 RT. He's never missed a pick-up in two years and is always at the gate on time. Sure beats any type of parking arrangement at DFW.

Parking Spot is only $5 for covered? DO they offer frequent parking programs? I am currently paying $7 for Park N Fly...i can't even find the Parking Spots...

Parking spot does have a frequent parker card. Use it 10 times and get a free stay on the 10th time- which can be up to a week. I have done 9 24 -36 hour stays and used the free stay for 5 days before. Makes your overall parking expense down considerably.

Thanks guys. Park N Fly is just too easy for me especially when I am coming from 121 and the Royal Ln Exit at 635 is really quick. I will give PS a try next time

From the website, new rates and only a 15% discount. Still better than gate parking.
Except NOW the closest parking is re-opened!!!! Would love to see gate luggage re-check gone soon, too.
Daily Rates
Covered - $8
Uncovered - $6.
Plus 8.25% state sales tax

I've always used Park n Ride on north side - not sure of the road.
I do wonder if there is something better - when you stay 5,6 days, it does tend to add up.
Thanks for the ideas.

TANSTAAFL - but if you work it right, FF miles comes pretty close.
