Getting oriented at ABE
Start with the terminal layout before choosing where to park. Lehigh Valley International Airport uses a single Main Terminal with airline check-in and baggage claim on the lower/public levels and a connected Gate Concourse beyond security. The compact terminal serves the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area and keeps parking, rental cars and passenger services close to the building.
Choosing airport-operated parking at ABE
When comparing parking on the airport estate, focus on location, transfer method and current availability. ABE runs three public parking areas, including short-term and longer-stay choices around the terminal complex. The airport also offers shuttle-van assistance between parking and the Main Terminal when needed and publishes a terminal-roadway/parking map for current lot access.
Getting to and from ABE

Taxis, app-based rides and other ground transportation use designated curb locations; drivers should follow the airport's roadway signs because pickup and parking lanes are separated around the terminal frontage.
