You have to get a SIDA badge to park there in employee parking. I think.

Talk to your chief pilot or your ORD station manager, you may be able to get a pass (for a cost) for the AMC employee lot.

Employee parking requires a SIDA badge, at least when I was there that is how it was.

i'm guessing you have to work at the airport to get a SIDA badge then, huh.

I called a few people, including the DOA, and they said there's an offsite parking location, but it's full, so it looks like i'm gonna have to park at economy lot F which is $9/day, and my company will only reimburse me $20/mo because that's how much parking is in richmond

Go to the badging office and see if there is something you can do. From the United terminal take the tunnel to the hallways for the parking garage and turn left, you can't miss it.

called the badging office, and they said i need an application from my company for the SIDA badge. Called company, and due to policy, they won't issue those apps out for other airports, only for STL or RIC

Gonna try to call some hotels now

I have an ORD parking pass, but I had to get it through my airline. That is the only way to do it, because ORD parking is on the Airport Operations Area. You need to have a badge to park. If your airline won't do it, then you are out of luck. I am running into that problem now at MDW. I might actually re-bid my base simply because of this commute/parking issue.

I parked at the Doubletree Club hotel on Mannheim Road for a while, and at the time it was $50 a month. The hotel has changed to a different brand, so I'm not sure if they offer it anymore. The hotel was just North of the Allstate Arena. That might be an option!
