I'm surprised the number of people who always have to have the bike in sight. I probably wouldn't park my bike at someplace like Detroit or Atlanta airport, but I honestly would feel pretty comfortable parking at my airport (Louisiville) for a day or two.

Free parking at LAX
I parked at LAX every Thursday through Monday from the end of November until the end of April. No one ever touched the bike. It was usually parked between some BMW baggers, a few sport bikes and some HD chrome baggers. I figured my Sporty was the low end. I parked in the Delta garage, rather than united, better protection and lights. This is a pic early evening Thursday at the beginning of December.
There are hundreds of bikes parked in the LAX garages. I used a rear disk lock and a cable through the rear wheel suspension. I used a disk lock on the front just to keep away teens. I covered the bike with a cycle gear Bilt cover and after a couple of weeks coated the bottom with oil and drug it through the dirt. I never understood the baggers with brand new HD covers, I liked to park near them. A few more showing location.

Parked it beneath a light pole?

I used to fly out of Louisville airport all the time when I lived there. I only lived about 10 miles from there and never thought to ride my bike because I'd usually have more to carry and it was just easier to throw my stuff in my Jeep. I guess if I had to I would, and feel ok about it. If I did, I would cover the bike though.
