Free Waiting Area

Find our convenient free waiting lot.

The Free Waiting Area – also known as the Cell Phone Lot  – is a convenient place to wait for arriving family, friends and colleagues. It offers the following benefits:

  • Fuel savings. No need to circle the airport while waiting for your passengers to arrive.
  • Avoid a ticket. It is illegal to stop on airport roadways and federal regulations do not allow vehicles to wait at terminal curbs. You may only stop for active loading/unloading.
  • If you have an electric vehicle, the Free Waiting Area has fee-based DC fast charging stations that can accommodate most types of  EVs manufactured by domestic and foreign automakers. The stations also have L2 chargers for electric or hybrid vehicles who want to top off their batteries for extended range.

The Free Waiting Area is located near the Interstate 5 entrance/exit with convenient access to both terminals. There is a three-hour limit and vehicles must be attended at all times.
