Which terminal

The terminal is on their booking or in the airline's app. Check it before you set off and put it in your Greet.

Where to wait

Put the exact spot in your Greet. Your guest sees it on their phone from the moment they land at PHC, even without signal.

  • In the arrivals hall of their terminal, a few metres back from the doors.
  • At one landmark you can both name: a numbered exit, a café sign or the information desk.
  • Not right at the barrier, where everyone crowds and nobody can see past the first row.
