Cell Phone Lot at Southwest Florida International Airport (tax, price)

[the searchers]

I had not used the airport for about a year and last night went up to pick up visitors.

I was surprised to see signs advising of the cell phone lot (to wait for incoming flights) was on the left.

I pulled in and found there is a gas station available and a very crowded and busy lot with marked parking places as well as cars parked up against curb lines.

I noticed a sign about an overflow lot pointing to a section with another dozen marked parking places.

However, when I left to continue to the terminal to pick up my passengers I found that the overflow lot sign was actually referring to the original cell phone lot on the right as you approach the terminal. There was plenty of room there and will actually be a more convenient for use on future pick ups.

So, if you are used to using the old cell phone lot, it is still available.

Yes that has been open close to a year now. Try and get gas elsewhere if you can as they charge about 20 cents more per gallon then outside.

Back in NJ it is $1.37. Can't believe it is that much more here.

That's the 72 tax lol Costco is always cheaper and convenient for Jackie getting off parkway.
