If they want to pay for airport expansion, they should do it with airport fees, not by charging parking fees. But adding an egregious parking fee and inconvenience on top of a high-priced and high-hassle system is not right. In fact, I do pay my way in the form of airport fees attached to every ticket I buy. That’s $12 per day long term ($24 per day short term)-for a motorcycle. I inquired several times and was told that parking is tight and they couldn’t afford to allocate motorcycle spaces.Īnother response was that I could park my motorcycle in either short-term or long-term parking, where I could use and pay for an automobile space.
