Long-term Parking Reduced 

Parking availability in the surface lot adjacent to the Horseshoe Bay terminal building has been reduced due to construction.

Additional parking is available at:

If you are picking up passengers, please note the drop-off/pick-up area has a maximum wait time of three minutes.
