With a suggestion like this, the adage “the best things in life are free” may well be true. Even in the best of situations, parking at an airport may be challenging. It can be difficult to find a spot, but if you do, don’t just park the car and walk away. To ensure you remember the location when you return, snap a photo of the area. When your vacation is over and done with, you can forget, even if you think you’ll remember. If you have visual proof, locating the location will be a breeze.
