I am planning on leaving my car at the airport for a safe and secure parking place for the week while riding. I'll then arrange a shuttle to the train and then shuttle back to the airport when I my riding in St. Charles. What do people think? Is that the best place to park. It's a new car.

It would cost you quite a bit of money to do that. Perhaps 15 dollars per day?

I would leave it at the trailhead in St. Charles. I would feel comfortable doing that as it
seems like a rather clean and nice area.

I agree. St.Charles trail head (TH) is probably the best spot to park your car along the Katy Trail system. The parking is not actually at the TH but is approximately 200-400 yards back where the Katy trail swing-arm gates are (the Lewis & Clark Boathouse parking lot). Park on the far side of the parking lot (to the right as you enter) and not the main parking in front of the Boathouse. Most business employees and visitors also park here. To my knowledge, it's a safe place. About 200 plus DNR 2009 riders parked here last week w/o any issues when they returned.

A couple weeks ago I parked my truck at the St. Charles trailhead for six nights. No problems. Todd from Katy Trail Bike Rental told me that the local police frequently patrol there. Have a great trip!
