Will our car battery go flat if we leave it parked at the airport for six weeks?

We're travelling for six weeks in the summer. Will the battery go flat if we leave our Porsche Macan at airport parking?

I wouldn't. I'd lock the Macan in your garage hooked up to a battery conditioning float charger on a time-switch and get a taxi to the airport.
