We just moved to Austin, and Friday will be my first time flying out here. I typically prefer to park at the terminal, but they are not taking reservations through the end of this month. Does anyone have a feel for how likely I am to get into the blue garage, with the red garage as a backup? If those are not realistic possibilities, then what are suggestions for the closest/easiest parking other than at the terminal?

I am not worried about the cost and want to avoid hassle more than anything else. We fly out Friday morning at 7:00 if it helps to know that. Thanks in advance for any information or help.

ETA - cross-posted on the Travel board, too.

I've used Fast Park for years. Very convenient and usually very quick.

In reply to ptothemo We parked in the blue garage a couple of Friday's ago. Granted we had a 5:30 am flight, but there was plenty of parking. You may not get on the 2nd deck, but should be fine.

Lines may be a pain with SxSW and spring break so i would get there early.

Welcome to Austin! There's always plenty of parking throughout the year in the Blue Garage. My wife and I had a 7 AM flight to Vegas a couple weeks ago and there was plenty of parking. Now SXSW may cause a problem with that though if that's when you plan to leave, but I honestly wouldn't be worried about it.

Thanks. Looks reasonable.

I have an extended trip later this summer and may use in lieu of parking.

I started using him when Uber pulled out and never stoped, its him and his nephew and a few others. The Mercedes he has is awesome and I love that on the way back he just picks you up at the curb. He will also do bags if you ask
