How does the cellphone waiting lot work?
- Arriving guests can contact the driver by cellphone after they have claimed their luggage and are waiting on the Arrivals level curb at the passenger pick-up zone.
- The driver can then leave the cellphone waiting lot, pull up to the designated area on the Arrivals level, pick up their waiting party and be on their way.
- Drivers should note that there is no waiting on the curb for any reason. Do not go to the curb until your party has cleared Customs, retrieved their baggage and is waiting on the curb.
