OK, so we just got back from a trip to North Carolina. The trip was great, the parking was terrible. We arrived at John Wayne Airport with plenty of time to park in the economy lot and get the shuttle over to the airport and still be at the counter over an hour early. As we turn left into the parking lot, we see cones in front of the entrance and a bunch of cars parked outside the gates. What the hell??? I figured that it filled up with other cheapskates like us, so we proceeded to the lots next to the terminal.
They are all full. They weren't just normally full as in we had to drive around for a while to fine a place. They were COMPLETELY FULL!! People had parked in all the red zones and anywhere they could leave their cars without getting them hit. So we asked the parking attendant if he had any ideas (keep in mind that there are no independent pay lots around this airport). All the guy could say was, "try the lot on Main [the economy lot]." We explained that it was blocked off by cones. He just kept repeating himself, "Main Street lot." IDIOT!!!
So that's when I got the brilliant idea of Michael parking at his office which is 10 minutes away adn getting of the people there to drive him back to the airport while I went in and checked our baggage since we already checked in online. That all worked smoothly. The guy was all too happy to leave work for a bit and we got through security on time. So are we the fools? We should have been doing this all time! Free parking. But now we're probably moving soon and won't be able to take advantage.
But, really, what the hell kind of airport RUNS OUT OF PARKING!!!???!!!
