But isn't that level not covered? Or is that level 7?

At least in the old garage, there's one covered level above the AirTrain level

Parked there yesterday. One garage was blocked (the one where you have to walk over a bridge to get to AirTrain; not sure if that is old or new garage). Took a while to find a spot. Started at level 5 and worked my way down to 3. Signs with green numbers indicating free spots were totally inaccurate and useless. I agree with previous poster that if you can find a spot close to elevator on any level it is a good spot.

Yes, trying to figure out whether or not to take advantage.

I’ve got a trip that would require 5 days of parking. This would bring the cost to use LTP to $100, vs. ParkSFO (which I usually use), at ~$95. I’ve been pretty happy with ParkSFO, particularly that there is rarely more than a few minute wait for the shuttle on either end. Have not done LTP since the pandemic…but when it started getting busy again, it was often a PItA to find a spot, including the last few times the new garage being completely blocked off which means to get to the AirTran is a bit of a hike (not that big of a deal for me personally, but with bags and 2 kids, gets a bit…not ideal). Not even sure all else being equal, whether LTP is any better to use than ParkSFO.

Here's what I would do--check occupancy of the garage at the sfo web site and then make your decision. I believe you can do a prepay and use the code up to 2 hours before entering the garage so you can wait until the day of if you want.

I may make some speculative reservations with the promo code. Can get a full refund as long as you cancel 2 hr prior.

Promo expires today, so need to get any reservations using the code booked by end of day. Also, promo codes aside, you can book a reservation and enter up to up to 4 hours before with the grace period.

Promo expires today, so would have to book and then cancel if desired, but yeah, guess I could do that.

That's what I was thinking of doing.

The new prepaid discount for on-airport parking at flysfo is the bomb. Saved 20% over the normal price on the daily parking in the domestic garage. Well worth paying a few $$ to be able to walk directly into the terminal on the bouncy walkways and avoid the shuttles on a short stay. My thanks to whoever posted this.

addendum: garage Entrance to C was blocked off and bouncy walkways are out of service from D! But no regrets…

SFO On-airport Parking Fall Sale: Extra 10% Off Long-Term Garage
 

They had these turned off in the new LTP garage over the weekend.

Just as well. The previous few times I was there, I wasted several minutes driving all around multiple levels that supposedly had dozens of available spaces, but really had none.

On-Airport Long Term Parking - Upgrade Offer
 

This was a new one for me. I had the long term parking garage booked well in advance, at a 30% discount. (One of their stealth, no promo code, discount offers on the web site)

A few days before my flight, they emailed me with an offer to upgrade to the International G garage for only $5/day additional.

We're going to be pressed for time getting to the airport and have quite a bit of luggage, so I took it. If ever I wanted to park closer to the terminal for a flight, it would be this one.

(I wonder if I was offered International G since that's what I had originally searched for? Or if International G is way undersubscribed these days?)

Haven't gotten one of those.

Also, haven't parked in one of the International Garages in many years since it's now priced the same (and sometimes higher :confused:) than the Domestic garage.

At $5/day above LTP, I'd park there though.

I find it interesting that the A Garage & the G Garage are considered separate products, with sometimes different rates. So did they close the road overpass that used to connect the two of them?

Last time I was there I was able to go between them on the bridge, but I know I've been there before and couldn't cross the bridge too. It's like the floors or buildings open at long-term maybe--random.

Last time I was there (about a month ago) it was open. My guess is that they offer them separately to make it feel like you're booking the same terminal as your flight, without any confusion as to what you're booking. Every time I've used the G garage I enter via A and cross the bridge (and then exit G), so I can't see how they could truly differentiate them.
