The Picky Airport Parker
Well it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to bum a ride to the airport (DFW), so my baby is going to sit in airport parking for 7-days.
I'm not too concerned about hail. What concerns me is bird crap. Is it worth the extra money for covered parking? It's about $40 more for the week. However, depending on the structure it may lead to birds loitering around which defeats the purpose.
My car has a 3-week old detail job with two coats of Ultima Paint Guard Plus and a coat of Wolfgang Fuzion.
Any thoughts?

Good idea, but a little pricey when you live out in the boondocks

Starting to see a pattern.
You have to weigh your options. $$$ or possible etchings. It's your car.

I'd gladly pay too if I knew the parking structure wouldn't end up being worse. A lot of times the ceiling rafters end up being bird sanctuaries. I guess I'll just have to try it out and see!

Unlike, for instance, luggage/baggage surcharges...
-Bird crap is just one of the many "contaminates"...
(like jet fuel, door-dingers, petty/grand-theft auto participants)...
That's offered as: No extra charges...when parking at an Airport...
whether it be 'covered' or open.

Another way I'd like to say it is:
-Taxi there...
-Confirm a plan to bum a ride back

Re: The Picky Airport Parker
I would take the open air risk BUT I would make sure to park far far away from any trees, lamp posts, or structures.
I have read a few places that many birds poop just before or just after takeoff to lighten their load before a flight. Consider that when parking. Anywhere birds can hang out is a place they'll have a more dense poop radius.
So no parking near trees, posts, tall SUVs with roof racks...

I use remote covered parking with a shuttle service. No dings, bombs, etc.
The parking spot and park n fly are a couple I use in Dallas.
In Dallas you seldom return to the same terminal you left from. So the curbside pick up is a plus...

Re: The Picky Airport Parker
Hey, did someone used this service http://kiwitaxi.com/ ? Is it reliable?

Re: The Picky Airport Parker
I don't think bird crap will ruin your car paint in a week.Worst case scenario if it deos may need a little polishing in those areas.Give uber a shot.my wife went to md Anderson in Houston ,from airport by cab to hotel was 80.00 uber going back to airport was 25.00 it's a no brainer.
