Where can I wait before an MSY pickup?
MSY’s current public guidance supports two different waiting choices. A driver who needs to remain in a vehicle should use an airport parking option away from the curb; a greeter who parks may meet the traveler at the Level 2 concourse exits or in Level 1 baggage claim. The official pages do not currently publish a specific public Cell Phone Lot rule, so this guide does not invent one.
