I had a bad experience on Sunday (12/07/15) when I went to pick a guest from the airport.

The park was full and so I had to park by a corner of the driveway, other cars were parked there as well.

While trying to squeeze in, I saw some cars with a clamp-like instrument on their tyres (the left front especially).

Also, other cars parked in the same manner without those locks had their drivers sitting in, but I did not decode anything.

I actually tried to park as close to the arrival point as possible because my guest had a big bag and did not know her way around the airport much.

As we approached my car, I noticed it's tyre had as well been locked. The luggage trolley boy told me it was done by the airport task force guys. He told me the guys were touts and terrible to deal with. He however told me I could placate them with 1 o 1.5k.

We located the boy and he told me my car has been confiscated and my fee was 10k. Their office was an old Land Rover tow van. I sent pleas to his deaf ears.

It was then he told me I should know cars were not supposed to be parked there. When I stated that I saw some other cars parked on the same line, he said I ought to remain inside the car if I must park there.

It then dawned on me the other cars had their drivers in place. But also, I felt bad that a fellow man was sitting tight in his car and saw me making a lot of efforts to park in his front, and then let me move out without informing me I would be surcharged.

Well, I finally paid N3,500, painfully. What if I didn't have much cash on me?

Thus, I wrote this piece to inform everyone to be wary of this and not fall prey to those touts.
So, when you go to PH International Airport, make sure you park where you are supposed to, no matter how far, even if you have to park in that small brush by the left, in front of the leftmost rows.

Also, if you must park elsewhere please remain in your car.

Peace.

Thanks for d info

They know you'll be desperate to bail your car there and then.

They claim they work for faan.

The money they collect enters their pocket, not faan account.

Each time I go there like I went yesterday I park in the car park, my pick up had 3 big suitcases the porter using trolley and wheeled them to the car for a fee of 1k which is for international flight. 5h is for local flight. Its optional, you can still move your luggage's by yourself without trolley at no cost.

I parked, locked the car and went to stand at the canopy arrival so that pick up can see me.

When you cut corners you have to bear the consequence.

You are right, but better if you know the corners to cut.
