When should I leave to pick someone up at CMH?
CMH pickup timing should follow the traveler’s real progress from the aircraft to the public curb. Stay in a designated waiting option until the traveler calls. The ready call should follow baggage collection and movement to curbside. Current CMH guidance offers multiple waiting locations, so note which one the driver used.

What must happen before the CMH driver leaves staging?
