Saturday, October 29th, 2011

Travelers flying out of Sacremento will notice that a couple of things are different, starting this weekend.

First, most on-site parking rates will be $2 higher starting Sunday, October 30.

Second, five “non-intrusive body image scanners” were introduced today, with three more schedule to arrive by the end of the month.

If you’re worried about the former, check out our Sacramento International Airport page for off-airport parking options.

Construction Begins at Houston Hobby

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Construction began this week on an estimated year-long project to replace the pavement on the upper-level ramp at Houston Hobby Airport, which serves as the roof of the baggage claim area, and has developed serious leaks.

The project will impact passengers both being dropped off and picked up, and will further limit the availability of on-site parking. “It will be easier to get dropped off versus trying to take your car here,” traveler Tom Grieco said.

JFK Parking - The Video Game?

Monday, October 24th, 2011

We’ve all said it a thousand times… “Man, do I wish I could drive an airport parking shuttle at JFK.”

Well, now you can!

There’s a brand new game that puts you behind the wheel of just such a powerful vehicle, and directs you to pick up and drop off passengers all over the airport.

We tried it out, and let’s just say we’ll stick to parking at nearby lots, and leaving the pickups and dropoffs to the professionals. But hey - maybe you have what it takes! Give it a try!
