Anyone noticed that the airport authority has dropped parking rates (again)? It's 40/week in the long-term outdoor lot (was 50 as recently as last week when I parked there) and 10/day (was $19/day); P2 garage is 21/day (ETA: I didn't read the numbers exactly), 59/week (11/day afterwards), and the P1 garage (next to terminal) is 24/day, 99/week.

I think it's great that they're making it affordable to park there. It's still cheaper for me to drive and park than to take a cab (unless I am spending two weeks away, and even then it's close). My old trick of one-way rental car to and from is also now more expensive.

I dunno how the park-and-fly lots are still making money. Even the cheapest one (Park2Go) is more expensive. Why would I pay more for a shuttle ride to the airport? It must be a deal with a company or something because those lots are always pretty full.

I've even had to fly AC domestically having parked in the econolot and it only took me about 5 minutes with a luggage cart to get from car to checkin. Once flying Westjet (sans kid, of course) I managed to get from car to gate including security in <10 minutes.
