Until you have walked in someone else's shoes, don't condemn. I used an
off-airport lot here in Pittsburgh when I traveled alot 25 years ago. I
got off the shuttle paid the bill and my car was parked under a canopy
with all the snow cleared off, the car running with the heater,
headlights on, door open and trunk open. This was during a heavy
snowfall and still had to drive home in a blinding storm at 11:30 pm. I
could of kissed all the employees, but this was standard operating
procedure for this outfit. It was worth every cent of my employers money
and priced LESS the the airport lot.
