How Park and Fly Works Here

You park at the hotel's lot, check in at the front desk and ride the free shuttle to the terminal.

1. Arrive and check in. Go to the hotel lobby front desk, which is staffed 24/7. You get a printed receipt.
2. Display the receipt. Place the printed receipt where it is visible on your dashboard; the lot requires it.
3. Ride to the airport. The shuttle to the airport runs from 4 AM to 11 PM. If your group is larger than four, call (865) 970-3060 before you arrive so they can plan the shuttle.
4. Come home. The shuttle from the airport runs 24/7. Call (865) 970-3060 when you land to arrange pickup.

The airport says taxis and hotel shuttles pick up outside on the north side of the terminal, reached from baggage claim; confirm the spot when you call. See the airport's pick-up and drop-off page for the terminal layout.

Park and Fly vs TYS Economy Parking

For our sample week, park and fly cost about $13 to $26 less than the Economy Lots.

The sample stay is 6 days and 4 hours, and TYS does not publish how a partial last day is billed, so airport totals are shown for 6 and 7 daily charges using the official TYS parking rates. Our Knoxville airport economy parking guide covers the Economy shuttle and lot status, and the TYS parking cost breakdown prices every lot by the hour and day.

• What you get off-site: a lower total for the week, a booked space, a 24/7 front desk, security, and no extra charge for full-size vans, pickup trucks or large SUVs.
• What you give up: the shuttle to the airport doesn't run from 11 PM to 4 AM, you call for your return pickup, part of the price is paid at the lot, and trips under 5 days can't be booked.
• When Economy is better: short trips, flights before 4 AM, or if you want a shuttle every 15 minutes without calling.

Who Should Book Park and Fly at TYS?

It suits trips of 5 days or more, especially at busy times when the airport lots run full.

• Holiday and peak travelers: the airport lists no way to reserve its lots, and they often run near capacity. A booking off-site means you are not hunting for a space.
• Drivers of big vehicles: the lot says there is no extra charge for full-size vans, pickups or large SUVs, while the Garage clears only 7' 2".
• Anyone on a budget for a week or more: it was the lowest total for our sample stay.
