Flyers,

Love this site, a lot of helpful posts in here. I wanted to ask all of your opinions regarding best long term parking options for an international flight leaving JFK on April 2nd, 2012 (Monday) around 8am. I plan to arrive around 5am. I will be returning late afternoon April 7th, 2012 (Saturday).

I am worried that based on price/security and issues with the Airtran, leaving my car at the LongTerm lot located at Lefferts Boulevard will not be efficient.

I've looked into SmarkParkJFK and The Parking Spot (formerly Avistar). Reviews for The Parking Spot were not good. I got a lot of good reviews from SmartPark. I know quite a few of your are knowledgeable and may offer some reputable advice.

I will be traveling from NJ (shore area), to JFK for my international flight due to a cheaper ticket. I will not be able to take rail as I am traveling with my girlfriend and between us there may be a bit of luggage. I am experienced with flying out of Newark, Philly, and DC but have never flown out of JFK. Would love your suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

Stephen J.
