Taking off Travel blog

Last month, we added Thrifty Airport Parking (CHA) to our list of off airport parking facilities. Located near the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, the Thrifty Airport offsite parking facility is secure and well lit, providing a complimentary shuttle service and car care.  Chattanooga Airport connects to major airports in Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Memphis, Orlando, Washington DC and Tampa, with services to Detroit scheduled to start in September 2010. Airport amenities include a business center and free Wi-Fi, a great advantage for business travelers. The airport is close to downtown Chattanooga, which is the fourth largest city in Tennessee. The city has been recognized many times as a great place to live and has also won awards for housing.
