Bush Intercontinental Airport has a new innovation that will save you gas and time, plus cut down on stress, when you come to pick someone up when their flight arrives.

At the Passenger Pick Up Waiting Lot, located off of Will Clayton Parkway, you can wait - free - under the supervision of a security officer until your arriving party calls you on your mobile phone to tell you they have picked up their checked bags and are ready for you to pick them up at curbside.

The Passenger Pick Up Waiting Lot eliminates the need for circling the airport repeatedly if your arriving party is later than expected. When more airport visitors use the Passenger Pick Up Waiting Lot, there is less traffic on Terminal Road and less pollution in the air.

The Passenger Pick Up Waiting Lot is open every day.

To get to the Passenger Pick Up Waiting Lot, whether you're approaching the airport using John F. Kennedy Boulevard or Will Clayton Parkway, just follow the purple signs to the entrance.
