Commercial Airports with Free Parking
Talking about Part 121-type carrier service here. Only one I've been to and known about it was VLD (use it somewhat frequently), which is free both short- and long-term. Cool little perk; just wondering what other airports have this around (if any).

EWB (New Bedford, Mass.) has free parking November through April. The downside is that the only places with scheduled EWB service are Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, and hardly anyone wants to go to either island outside the May-October season.

Not free in the grand scheme of things, but my yearly membership in Colorado Springs grants me free valet parking, something that I use almost weekly.

What's free parking, only parking right in front of the terminal, or more?
Because many smaller European airports you could easily park for free in the city then take a walk to the terminal, such as INI (Nis, Serbia).

Mid America Airport (BLV) in Illinois allows free parking for passengers. Unfortunate, the airport is not served by many airlines, and primarily caters to vacationers flying low cost charters.

Sadly, the post 9/11 security requirements killed the designated semi-secret free short term parking lot that had been directly adjacent to the exit from baggage claim at VPS. It's now where they park the cop cars instead.
You still get the first 10 minutes free at the pay lots if you're just doing a somewhat quick pick-up or drop off, but it's metered now and stuff.
