It really is a shame that this has now gone in what appears to be a spat with the airport company over $$ much like the reason valet parking was scrapped a few years ago.
Air NZ's parking at $18 per day or $34 for 2 days which I was happy to pay. This was way cheaper than the $29 per day for airport long term, or $34 per day for undercover.
Air NZ parking has been difficult to get since late last year due to the demolition of the hanger and construction around the rear crew parking area and I've found myself parking on the street. I guess I'll be adding to the problem now because I'm not willing to pay up to double the price I used to pay.
Yes airport parking near the terminal should have a premium but there are no excuses for Wellington airports long term parking (which is a shuttle service) to be even more expensive than what Auckland airport charge for long term parking.
Apparently something is in the cards for Elite customers with parking vouchers.
