When should I leave to pick someone up at FLL?
FLL gives early drivers a Cell Phone Waiting Area for a short stay away from the terminal curb. Wait for the passenger to confirm they are outside at a specific terminal marker, then approach for immediate loading rather than circling the four terminals.

FLL pickup questions
When should I leave the FLL Cell Phone Waiting Area?
Leave after the passenger confirms they are outside and sends the terminal plus a current door, zone, or visible curb marker.
Does an FLL landed status mean pickup is ready?
No. The passenger still has to deplane, reach baggage claim when needed, collect luggage, and walk outside.
What should an FLL passenger send the driver?
Send Terminal 1, 2, 3, or 4 and the nearest current door, zone, or visible curb marker.
