The other alternative is to make long term parking very very expensive, maybe $100 a day. In this way, the airport parking capacity can better serve those short term hourly users.

 

 

 

It will be underutilized lor, or maybe allocate like 10 lots next to the departure [laugh]

Indeed scary if you drive to airport and happen that all the carpark in airport is full, and your flight is departing soon, and you have nowhere to 'dispose' your car! Lol. Thinking what would the person do?

 

But even losing 850 parking lots, will it make a great impact and result of shortage of carpark or carpark will always full at all the exisiting carpark at airport? I mean for people who like or used to driving to airport and park to take flight really very sian now. It means losing another mode of travelling to airport, and now can only depends on public transport.

 

So when will the $60 parking per day at the airport starts ar?

Hard to say.

The airport will loose 850 carpark lots soon. For a person who parks his car at the airport and takes a flight, he better be able to get a carpark lot. Imagine stuck in full carpark and flight is taking off soon.

 

Would it better if CAG impose higher rates for short term parkers? ( wow, don't shoot me, just a discussion ). This would ensure long term parkers will get a lot with success all the time.

Another question is how many of the airport parking lots are used by CAG staff?

 

I don't think they will penalise short term parkers. They know many people like to go airport just to zho bo (do nothing). Eat, shop, walk walk see see. They know they generate quite a fair bit of revenue from this, hence they definitely do not want to discourage that.

 

I wouldn't mind paying a higher, but fixed, charge for long term parking though, if it guarantees me a lot.

Those who park there and drive will surely want assurance of lots when they get there.

Carpark valet service will help those lau sai cases, should they arrive there and have no time to wait for a lot.

This does not help their carpark lots crunch.

But more to help the shops there get business from the locals . . . . afterall, the airport is billed as a place to dine, wine and shop, LOL

As some has said, Changi airport has some reward points system for locals, encouraging them to head there to shop, wine, dine, gawk, etc.

 

I suppose, many of these are drivers.

Moreover, how many lots in the airport are taken up by season ticket holders.

 

OT, . . . In SGH, carpark H, the first 3 or 4 decks are not for public use . . .

Just came back from T3, capark at B1 is almost full not sure about B2

Last weekend, even basement 3 parking lots were almost full - around dinner time (ie B1, B2, B3). This is at carpark T3A.

In future, can try park at carpark T3B (to enter, drive further after the drop off/departure/arrival). If at level B2 carpark T3B, the carpark glass door is just next to the new Old Chang Kee/nearer to train station.

Ya, the Changi Reward card. Get points by shopping/eating at airport.

 

Not sure how to redeem the parking though.

Valet service can apply to those who drive and take flight? Imagine you opt for the valet service as your flight is flying off soon, and you cannot find lots, you leave your car with the valet then car key leave with them, thinking safe or not?

No more capped charges for full day parking. It costs $50++ to park there for a full day now.
