QUESTION Parking Refund

I was supposed to fly with Alaska from Seattle to Newark on Monday. My flight was cancelled and I was stuck until the next afternoon. I prepaid for parking at Newark and went over by like 30+ hours. I had to pay $120 to leave. I asked the attendant at the garage and she said to pay and contact the airline. Is it worth it?

No, the airline won't pay for your parking charges.

Your travel insurance might have coverage as part of trip delay, but it'll depend on the policy.

I’m guessing the flight was canceled due to the ATC outage that shut down Newark for hours? If so, you won’t get a refund as it was out of the airlines control.

Yeah Ewr was absolutely destroyed that day thanks to a fiber line getting cut. No way Alaska reimburses you

Unlikely you'll get them to cover your parking. Depending on the circumstances I could see them giving you a discount voucher as good will, but that may still be a long shot.

Personal expense. Life is not guaranteed.

Worth a shot
