When should I leave to pick someone up at CVG?
CVG pickup timing should follow the traveler’s real progress from the aircraft to the public curb. Wait until the passenger has collected bags and confirms availability. Use the free Cell Phone Lot before entering the terminal roadway. The Meet and Greet area is indoors and requires a parked driver rather than a curb stop.

CVG pickup questions
What starts the CVG pickup approach?
Wait until the passenger has collected bags and confirms availability. Use that condition, rather than the flight-status change, to decide when the vehicle should approach.
What must happen before the CVG driver leaves staging?
Use the free Cell Phone Lot before entering the terminal roadway. Confirm that step directly with the traveler before leaving staging.
What can still change the CVG timing?
The Meet and Greet area is indoors and requires a parked driver rather than a curb stop. Recheck the current airport guidance when that condition affects the final approach.
