When should I leave to pick someone up at RSW?
RSW tells travelers to call only after collecting baggage and reaching the curb. Cell Phone Lot 1 is roughly two minutes from the terminal, so leaving during taxi-in or baggage claim offers no advantage and can force the driver out of the active-loading area.
