In a time when so many airlines are shutting down routes and airports are closing gates, JFK and JetBlue are opening an entire terminal.  Though the opening of the terminal has been pushed to October 22, 2008, this change was done to benefit retailers more than the airline or airport.  The new terminal will feature twenty-six gates and a twenty-lane security checkpoint.  With such a large checkpoint, there should be little problem efficiently accommodating travelers.  But what about parking?

First come, first served airport parking is not only expensive, but finding a space is only going to get increasingly difficult.  Currently, parking in the long-term airport parking lot for one week would cost $159 while parking for a week in the short-term airport parking lot would cost $210 (not to mention security personnel might get annoyed if you leave your car there for that long).

That’s why there’re airport parking lots that aren’t run by JFK.  The two lots available on AirportParkingReservations.com are Avistar JFK and AirPark, both of which feature 24-hours-a-day valet parking.  Both of these airport parking lots are rated at 4.5 stars, a rating based on hundreds of customer surveys.  A traveler requiring parking during the first week of October could expect to pay $113.60 for a week’s worth of parking.  In addition, these airport parking lots offer complimentary shuttles directly to your terminal.  You also get the peace of mind knowing that your airport parking space is reserved.

JFK is already a busy airport.  With the opening of another terminal, and a large one that, the airport is only going to get busier.  Airport parking spaces are going to be at a premium, and difficult to find if you don’t have a guaranteed reservation like that you’ll get from AirportParkingReservations.com.
