LAS Parking Reservations Now Available

Restaurants on the weekend or Valentine's Day. Your Lighting Lane pass at Disneyland. There are some things that you expect to need a reservation for. But parking at Harry Reid International Airport? Not as expected. Well, LAS parking reservations are getting a test drive right now, and it could change the way you park and fly.

The test program launched today (Monday) and will be putting more planning into your trip. If you've ever had to deal with parking at Terminal 1, you know it books up pretty quickly by late Thursday. And on a holiday weekend, forget about it!

While they are calling this a pilot program, we think LAS parking reservations are sticking around for a while. Just look at the website.

Harry Reid International Airport will allow people to reserve parking at Terminal 1 on Level 2M for $28 per day (which is about $10 more per day than general self parking). Terminal 3, which is quite a bit roomier for parking, is priced at $21 dollars a day to park on Level 1 (disregard the Tweet, the website and video says Level 1).

In total, there will be 636 parking spaces that will be reserved for the people that are willing to drop a little more for a guaranteed spot, but aren't willing to drop enough for valet. Considering how busy the airport gets during Thanksgiving and Christmas travel season, we can see how it'll be helpful.

As if you needed another thing to prepare for your trip, here's another one. Of course, you don't have to do it, but if you're vehemently against parking in economy parking and don't mind paying a hair more, this could be the option for you. Or you could chance it, find a full garage and have to park in Pahrump. Up to you.

We already know Harry Reid International Airport is poppin'. With the thousands upon thousands of travelers that wander through the numerous concourses on a daily basis, the Las Vegas airport really has no choice but to be on top of it's game. As a Vegas resident, I still walk through the place in awe. It's always clean, TSA is always efficient, and it's pretty easy to navigate compared to other major airports. I give Reid International an A+, and so did thousands of other travelers in a recent study completed by travelers.

According to the new J.D. Power survey, Las Vegas' international airport has ranked among the best of the best airports in North America, with Harry Reid International Airport securing the #5 spot for "mega airports." Mega airports are defined as airports that have 33 million travelers or more in a given year.

The 2022 North American Airport Satisfaction Study for "mega airports" is based on overall customer satisfaction, specifically looking at terminal facilities, airport arrival/departure, baggage claim, security check, check-in/baggage check, and food, beverage, and retail. According to News 3, "The study is based on more than 26,000 completed surveys from U.S. or Canadian residents or traveled through at least one airport in recent weeks."

I totally believe our Las Vegas airport deserved that top ranking spot. Harry Reid International sees an INSANE amount of travelers day-in and day-out, year after year. So many are traveling to and from our beautiful city for the Vegas experience itself, but many others make stops at the airport during layovers. Regardless of passengers' reasons for travel into Las Vegas, I'm honored that our airport has ranked among the best North America has to offer. So. Deserved. Congrats to all of those that have made Harry Reid International Airports the incredible travel hub that it is.
