PARKING BREAK FOR TRAVELERS

In addition to checking their luggage at Kennedy Airport, passengers now have the option of checking their cars.

The Port Authority introduced valet parking last week as part of the agency’s efforts to make the city’s three airports more hospitable.

Customers can drop off their cars on Lefferts Boulevard just south of the Belt Parkway, and hop on the AirTrain.

The fee is $36 a day, a little steeper than the charge at the terminal parking lots and considerably more than the cost of long-term parking.

“We believe there is a demand for this,” said PA spokesman Marc LaVorgna.

Valet parking was already available at Newark Airport.
