Passenger Parking Problems

Parking is always a problem at airports around the country. Now, the problem has reached Ithaca.

The Ithaca Tompkins Regional airport advised travelers this weekend that parking lots were very close to capacity at the airport. According to a report, the long-term parking lot was completely full by Friday morning and things weren’ t much better in the short-term lot.

Despite the problems caused by an increase in travelers, the airport has found ways to cope with the issue of limited parking. Some alternative spaces have been made available and passengers can be directed to those spots by consulting a parking lot attendant upon arrival.

Below, I have included a map of the Ithaca Tompkins regional airport and where parking is permitted. In addition, you can visit the airport website’s parking page, which includes a list of prices to park your car in both the short and long-term lots.
