TIP: Keep Your Eyes Open for Airport Perks

We’re all about helping you save money when it comes to airfare, but there are freebies and perks to be gained at airports, as well. I spotted this article on MSNBC — which talked about how airports have been losing revenue, and what some are trying, to lure in customers: Kansas City’s airport offers free parking for a day (limited time) Mobile Regional Airport in Alabama has a “points” program - points can be used for VIP lounge passes, auto club membership, cruise discounts, etc. Minneapolis-St. Paul and San Francisco airports will be handing out coupon books with discounts for airport shops and eateries later this year If you’re not sure your airport is having a promotion, just ask.
