FREE Airport Parking for U.S. Military

Generous travelers pay it forward to U.S. Military personnel, allowing them free airport parking at Park'N Ticket Airport Parking.

Have you ever paid for the person behind you in line or had someone pay for you? If you have, you know that this unexpected act of kindness can go a long way in making someone’s day. Two years ago, in that same spirit, Park’N Ticket, an offsite airport parking facility, unveiled a program that lets you pay it forward to U.S. military personnel. Since then, over a hundred free days of parking have been donated to this FREEDOM PARKING Program.

Park’N Ticket has a Frequent Parker Program that allows their clients to earn points, which can be redeemed for free parking. Customers can choose instead to donate these points through the FREEDOM PARKING program, to benefit U.S. military personnel. Park’N Ticket already has a special rate for military personnel, but goes one step further and also donates an additional day of parking for every ten donated by customers. To take advantage of FREEDOM PARKING, U.S. military personnel simply show their military ID at check out.

This program always sees more donations between Memorial Day and the 4th of July. So far this year, 4,218 points have been donated, allowing for 88 free days. The program hopes to see more of these donations as Independence Day approaches. Jodi Nicholson of Park’N Ticket said, β€œAs a locally and family owned company, involving our guests who live in the surrounding areas to help out their neighbors with this program is so very special to us.” She goes on to say, ”We have the best customers. They are thrilled to have an easy way to do something for the men and women who protect our freedom.”
