Have you ever asked yourself why airport parking costs you nearly as much as an actual plane ticket? Well, airport parking lots are a business just like any other. The land on which they’re built, the construction of the lot itself, the maintenance of the whole thing once it’s already in operation — all that costs a handsome amount of money. And yes, it's super comfortable and saves you a good amount of time, so it might be worth the money. If you don't think so, better take a cab or public transportation to the airport.
