A Cell Phone Parking Lot is now available at the Airport for meeters/greeters awaiting arriving flights. To access the Cell Phone Lot, proceed toward the main terminal, turn right onto Air Commerce Drive before reaching the terminal building, and the cell phone lot is on the left. Signs have been posted to assist with directions. Meeters and Greeters can park in the lot to await cell phone calls from the passenger(s) whose flight they are waiting on. Vehicles cannot be left unattended in this lot. Once the passenger arrives, the driver can move toward the terminal building for pickup. Because vehicles cannot be left unattended at the terminal front and because patrons can only park their vehicles at the terminal front if actively loading or unloading luggage, the Cell Phone Lot will certainly provide a convenience for Airport users.

For those meeting arriving flights that would like to park and come inside the terminal to meet their passengers, they may choose to park in the Garage, the Surface Lot or to utilize the Valet Parking Service in front of the terminal.
