Cell Phone Lot Now Open
Lambert-St.
Louis International Airport is encouraging all motorists picking
up passengers to use the new Cell Phone Lot that opened during
the holidays. A Cell Phone Lot is a free waiting zone for motorists
who are just picking up passengers at Lambert. The lot is open
from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Motorists must remain with their vehicles
at all times.
Temporary signs are in place to direct motorists to the Cell Phone
Lot, which is one-half mile east of Cypress on Lambert International
Boulevard. A second Cell Phone Lot near the East Terminal may
be closed after the holidays. Maps and directions to the new Cell
Phone Lot can be found at www.lambert-stlouis.com.
The Cell Phone Lot allows motorists to stay in
close proximity to the Main and East Terminals until their arriving
party is ready to be picked up. Passengers make contact with the
motorists by phone; they should only do this after they have claimed
their luggage. Motorists can then pull up to the arrivals curbs
at either the Main or East Terminal. Drivers will no longer have
to continually loop around the airport if passengers don’t arrive
on time. Plus, the Cell Phone Lot will ease congestion along the
arrivals curbs while helping motorists better comply with current
security regulations.
A large airline flight display board has been
installed at the Cell Phone Lot to help motorists determine the
approximate time that flights will arrive. But, Cell Phone Lot
users are urged to still wait for a phone call confirmation from
the passenger that they are ready to be picked up before leaving
for the arrivals and baggage claim areas.
