The "park and fly" at the hotel usually works out perfect for us. Living in the midwest the weather can be very unpredictable. The night before we drive an hour to the hotel pay a small charge of $80 for the nights stay and they allow us to park our vehicle on their lot for a total $20 for 21 days. They shuttle us bright and early the next morn to the airport, only a 10 minute ride, and pick us up on our return. Long term parking at the airport would cost us $12 a day. So for us it is a win win situation.
