Default Has anyone used the YYC Economy Parking Lot?

Seems to be the cheapest lot in the area. Does it fill up regularly, or are the odds decent that I'll get a spot on a Sunday in August.

I use the economy lot all the time. It's usually pretty close to full but I've never been left hanging.

No place safe there, buddy's vehicle was broken into and cleaned out. Amazing, given the security around the terminal itself.

No. Keep in mind there's no shuttle, so it's a 7 minute walk lugging all your own baggage. For about the same price, Park'n'jet is right beside yyc economy and it has the free shuttle dropping you off right at the correct airline entrance. The new lot now has reservations.
The only other one that has reservations is park2go and it's about $70/week IIRC.

Yeah, I reserved at Park2Go just in case. It's $65/week with AMA card. Only $10 more than Economy. I'd rather have the piece of mind of a spot vs. finding out Economy is full and then scrambling from there.

I always use the economy lot when we go south for a week. I have that shuttle routine. I've never had a problem.

I use the economy lot every week if you get lucky you can get a spot up close and a short walk otherwise wait by your vehicle and flag down the shuttle the driver will give you ticket with your spot marked. When you return give your ticket to the driver he will drop you off at your car. I park at 1:00 Pm Monday, pick up at 11:00 PM the next Monday $90
