New Parking Lot is Open!
Thursday, November 26th, 2009__________________________
Florida Today has an article about the new parking lot at Orlando airport (hey, if I didn’t post this stuff, would you ever find it?).
A new parking lot opened at Orlando International Airport today, giving motorists waiting for arriving passengers a free, short-term parking area that is wireless enabled.
Drivers seeking their passengers for pickup can check e-mails, make phone calls and access the Internet while waiting in a secure parking area, which the airport is calling a “cell phone” parking lot.
Curbside waiting has been prohibited by federal regulations since Sept. 11, 2001.
The new convenience cuts back on airport congestion caused by drivers circling around while waiting to get their arriving passengers. It also saves gas.
The new cell phone lot is next to the Red Satellite Parking lot on South Access Road, and has more than 100 parking spaces available. The driver must remain in the vehicle.
