Which terminal

Where to wait

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

  • Just outside the arrivals door. At a small airport everyone comes out the same way.
  • If you're driving, check where you're allowed to stop: small airports often have only a few short-stay spaces.
