Jacksonville International Airport regularly reports sold-out parking lots. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport raised its parking rates 10%-25% in February for its garages, with Greg Roybal, public information officer for the airport, telling The Arizona Republic "the increase is due to high demand for parking." Please allow extra time to find a parking spot or consider alternate transportation." This increase in demand comes despite SEA raising airport parking rates by 7% in March. The Port of Seattle issued a parking alert for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on May 15: "The SEA parking garage is near capacity and continues to be extra busy this weekend. This means you need to arrive early and plan your parking ahead of time at especially as the Memorial Day holiday nears!" Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) shared via its Twitter account on May 16 that "Sunday was our busiest day at the TSA checkpoints since early 2020. ![]() Other airports are facing a parking surge as well. Doug Yakel, public information officer at the airport, told The Points Guy "while parking rarely sells out, given the anticipated traffic, we recommend guests book their parking at least one week prior to the start of their trip." ![]() In a May 10 press release, San Francisco International Airport warned its customers that “SFO expects parking garages to be at or near capacity during the summer travel season.” To make matters worse, one Park ‘N Fly lot near SFO was just sold last week to a shopping mall developer for $85 million, taking 1,840 spaces off the market and further hurting supply.
