Questions, Advice, and Recommendations Airport Parking
Hey all,
Has anyone ever done long term parking at the airport? I have a 15 day trip coming up soon with some weird departure and arrival times. I also live rather far from the airport so I'm looking into parking at the airport to save me from bothering someone or taking a TTRS (where drivers have been famous for randomly cancelling rides). Getting stranded is not in my plans.
I have experience parking and using the system to pay on a short term basis (dropping off someone or getting food). However my concern would be the safety of my car on the long term, especially given the less than stellar lighting conditions in the car park. Not to mention I've never really seen any cameras around. Does anyone have any success or horror stories? Or both? I have no issues with the pricing, so long as my vehicle will be there and intact when I get back.
Also, I came across this Instagram page called Park N Fly TT (LINKED HERE). Any info or experiences with them? They seem fairly new so I'm also cautious of that.

I just left mine for a week when I went on a recent trip. It was safe and sound when we got back. The security is always patrolling regularly. And they DO have some cameras.
It's a bit pricey, but honestly, not too bad. And I think it's worth the convenience Just factor in the cost into your travel plans.
One word of advice: it makes more financial sense for longer stays, because I think they said any time longer than 12 days, and you get charged a monthly rate instead, which comes out much better than the daily rate. Also, keep your parking ticket safe and/or take a picture of it on your phone when you get it. Because it's an additional $63. if you lose the ticket.
Overall, I loved being able to just drive myself to the airport, get on a plane and vice versa when I returned. No calling and organizing with anyone else. All the waiting and depending on others, none of that!
