SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) on Monday announced the rollout of a new tool to monitor the status of drive-up parking availability at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR).
Travelers can see the drive-up parking status of each parking lot at the airport by visiting the airport’s parking webpage any time of the day.
“This is all about making our customer’s travel day a little easier before they even leave for the airport,” Jason Mehl, SRAA chief commercial officer, said. “These near-real-time parking status updates will eliminate any guesswork — and hopefully a little stress as well — from the ground transportation portion of our travelers’ experience.”

SRAA also encourages airport patrons to explore the pre-book parking option the airport introduced last year. The service allows customers the chance to guarantee a spot in their desired parking lot weeks — or even months — prior to their trip.
The authority also noted the premium, pre-book parking spaces represent only a “small fraction” of the overall parking capacity at the airport. The vast majority of parking capacity is intended for drive-up parking, SRAA said.
Hancock officials recently created 500 new parking spaces as part of the ongoing surface parking-lot expansion project, which is part of the much larger, multi-year parking/landside redevelopment project. Those spaces “can and will be activated as parking demand dictates and will be reflected on the parking webpage,” SRAA said.
SRAA reminds travelers to arrive at the airport two hours prior to their scheduled departure. This is especially important during the busy departure windows of 4:30 a.m. to 6 a.m.; 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.; and 4-6 p.m.
