Where do I park my car to wait for the person I'm picking up?
What happens if there is no parking?
Stuff like that...

Airports usually have parking garages attached to them. Plan to get there at least 1/2 hour before your friend is scheduled to arrive. That way you won't have to worry about finding your way.
Find the terminal in which your friend is to arrive. Many air ports have more than one terminal. Upon approach to the airport, you will see signs "Terminal 1", "Terminal 2" etc.
Usually, the airlines that use these terminals are listed on the signs. It is better if you know the terminal in advance, that way you can concentrate on traffic instead of having to read the details on the terminal signs.
When you get into the parking garage, there will be several floors. Before walking into the terminal, make a note (write it down) which floor you are on and which section. This will make it easier later to find your vehicle again.
You then walk toward the signs that say "Terminal" or "Elevator".
Inside the elevator, you will find floor descriptions like "Baggage claim" "Planes".
Choose the floor that says "Planes".
You will find an information stand as you walk away from the elevator and into the terminal. You can stop there and ask for assistance. They will tell you where to go to pick up your friend.
You can also look at the several monitors that display arrivals and departures. These will tell you the status of the flight your friend is on.
Make sure you have this information with you:
1. Name of Airline
2. Flight Number
3. City of Origin (if your friend changes planes, you need to know the LAST city where he boarded a plane, not necessarily from which city he originally came)
You'll breeze right through it :)

okay there is ALWAYS parking at an airport, so no worries there. short term parking is th closest to the terminal however also the most expensive, so make sure not to arrive too early to spend lsot time waiting for your friend to arrive 'casue that will cost you.
also make sure to agree on a meeting point to meet your party. If they are coming from an international destination; usually the best way is just after customs if they are on a local flight; check the flight number and wait at the luggagecarrousel or in the arrival hall near one of the rent a car offices (they are always there as well).
Good luck

Find the closest parking (Short Term Parking on the signs).
Then head to Baggage Claim and Ground Transportation area of airport. Know the flight number and look for a sign that tells you which luggage conveyor the luggage from that flight will be delivered. The conveyors are usually numbered or have a letter.
Next time tell your passenger to take a taxi.

Plenty of parking. Most people are kool though one can't help remember the stories about innocent Arabs or Muslims being subjected to overzealous stereotypes...Expensive food.. If the flight in International they will come out with luggage cart.. If domestic get a free luggage cart at the parking lot - plenty left by other people...

Which airport are you going to? It's usually easiest to wait in the car and have them meet you at the departure terminal b/c it is much less crowded than the arrival terminal. You can probably sit there in your car and wait unlike the arrival terminal where you will be towed if you stop at all. Good luck!

follow the signs!!!!!!! Also know which terminal the person you are picking arrives. If you are parking then you just have to find the terminal or baggage pick up if you are driving and picking them up after they get their baggage then watch for all the signs leading to pick up areas and call the person so you know where they are and when they have gotten outside. Good Luck. happy new year!

some airports(I'm using Los Angeles international airport as a example) have what they called Cell Phone Parking, its free
you just drive to that location wait until your friend calls
you on your cellphone and goes outside to the curb
then you just drive up load up and go.

Usually, you just wait at the terminal and watch for the person. If you have a cell phone, always keep it handy. Most times, you can survive as long as ur in the vincinity of the place where ur person is arriving.
