When should I leave to pick someone up at AUS?
AUS passenger operations are now consolidated at the Barbara Jordan Terminal, but the driver still should not treat touchdown as curb readiness. The passenger may need to reach the gate, walk to baggage claim, retrieve luggage, and identify an exterior meeting point on the current airport map before a curb approach makes sense.
