Weekly airport travelers and parking (June 21-27, 2021)

The upcoming 4^th of July long weekend is expected to help further boost the already surging air travel numbers across the country. If the past week’s trends are anything to go by, we can expect a solid recovery for both air travel and airport parking.  A total of 13,936,043 travelers took to the skies from June 21-27, with the highest single-day number of 2,167,380 on June 27^th.

With travelers heading back to airports in multitudes, there’s heavy demand for airport parking spots. Airport parking garages are getting sold out at most places. Some airports like the Charlotte Douglas International Airport have raised their airport parking rates. The Norman Y Mineta Airport has opened a new parking garage with hundreds of San Jose Airport parking spots. However, this more of an exception than the rule. Several onsite airport parking lots aren’t still fully open. You may depend on offsite parking for BWI Airport parking, Denver Airport parking, and IAH Airport parking. It would be best if you could book your airport parking spot online as soon as your flight ticket is confirmed.

Sources say that Fourth of July travelers should prepare for long lines and longer wait times at most airports this holiday weekend. In fact, passengers should plan to arrive at airport security checkpoints three hours early instead of the standard two hours. Booking parking ahead of time can also help save travelers time and money.

Keep in mind that even if you’re vaccinated, you’re still advised to follow precautions, including wearing a mask, being socially distant, and often sanitizing your hands. Also, remember to reserve your guaranteed airport parking spot on the Way.com website or use the convenient Way app to access great deals and discounted rates.
