Flight attendant shares safest spots to park your car at the airport
Revved up and raring to go on holiday, but worried about leaving your car safe and sound at the airport? We’ve all been there. Apply the brakes to that anxiety with the help of some top travelling tips from American flight attendant Cierra Mistt.
The TikTok favourite has been sharing her trade secrets, starting with a common gripe among long or short-haul travellers: where to park your motor. “When it comes to parking, you want to make sure your vehicle is safe at the airport. Especially on those long trips, park on either the top floor of the parking garage, or the very back of economy parking,” Cierra began.
“At this point, you may be thinking, ‘Cierra, why would I do that? It’s the furthest away, and probably not guarded at all.’ This is, actually, the parking where all the employees of the airport, along with crew members that are going to be on the trip, park.”

She continued: “Security is constantly monitoring that area, to make sure that no one breaks into those cars, and the shuttles are over there more than any other place, because they need to make sure their employees get to work on time.”

Flyers looking for a cheeky upgrade or special treatment were also advised on how to keep flight staff sweet – quite literally. “The first thing not to do is bring gift cards. The majority of the time that this happens, passengers don’t know how many crew members are going to be on that flight, meaning the majority of the time, at least one person gets left out,” Cierra explained.
“Here’s what you’re going to do instead. On your way to the airport, stop at the nearest Costco, or Walmart, and get a bag of your favourite candy, pack it in your carry-on, and as you’re walking onto your flight, make sure that you hand it to your flight attendant at the very beginning.”
She added: “We’re always in constant communication, between the pilots and the flight attendants, so everyone on board will know who you are and what you did for us. This might get you extra points, a free upgrade, or free snacks and drinks.”
