What Not to Do when Airport Parking
Airport parking is a fairly prominent feature of today’s airports. So much so, that one might even go as far as to say that it was crucial aspect of air travel, and indeed a booming business. But as with most aspects of life in general, there are always those people that get it wrong. Either they’re the general public simply going about it in an incorrect fashion, there’s also times when it can go wrong with companies. For example, don’t do what one of the lead characters in that popular movie comedy Airplane did! He got the taxi to park (with the meter running) right out in front of the airport main entrance. He then also proceeded to board the plane and take off with it. I fear that authorities have yet to designate right outside the main entrance as a Long Stay airport car park. It’s also not a wise idea to leave your car in the possession of individuals who whilst claiming they’ll put your car safely into storage, will actually be out and about in it, most likely joyriding. For cars suppose to be securely stored where being driven by the airport parking staff at Gatwick airport in England. Some of the cars were supposedly only in storage for a couple of days before they were removed by the staff and driven at speeds of up to 100mph, just for fun. One member of the staff even apparently fled the scene of an accident, after crashing one of the cars he was supposed to be looking after. These unfortunate circumstances were brought to the attention of an airport parking security watchdog after customers complained of speeding fines and damage to their car that occurred in the period they were out of the country and on holiday.
