Free parking for 30 minutes is a farce, a gimmick.
Almost no one can enter the lot, find a space, walk to the terminal, do something, return to the car, drive to the exit, and wait for others in front to pay, all within 30 minutes.
Of course the airport authority knows it is a scam. Otherwise the authority would have made it more practical, like an hour free.
