I am getting ready for the trip to San Diego with stop and one week layover near Flagstaff AZ.
I am planning to stay at Winslow AZ ( KINW ) for the first leg for a week and then fly to KSEE and park for a week.
So I called both airports for parking and car rental arrangements and I was really surprised with what they told me. Winslow is charging $ 8 per night and guy at KSEE told me parking is free. I was expecting exactly opposite.
Its not a huge amount but for reference KINW has only 12 AC based at the field and only 58 operations avg per day according to Airnav so it can be considered as podunk airport.
 
Yes, Winslow looks to be abandoned, but it actually isn't. Find out the parking boundaries for the fbo and park outside the lines. There is a LOT of parking area. The folks are nice at the fbo, don't be surprised if they appear to be over friendly, I don't think they meet many new people there.

There used to be a nice restaurant on the field at Winslow, not sure if it is still there.
