When should I leave to pick someone up at SLC?
SLC’s Park and Wait system explicitly separates aircraft arrival from passenger readiness. Its flight-information board allows time for luggage collection before showing a ready-for-pickup message, while the airport still recommends direct phone confirmation that the traveler is standing at the curb.

SLC pickup questions
What does ready for pickup mean at SLC?
The Park and Wait display has allowed time for luggage collection, but confirm directly that the passenger is actually outside.
Should I drive in when an SLC flight lands?
No. Stay off the terminal frontage while the traveler deplanes, walks through the airport, and retrieves baggage.
What should an SLC passenger text?
Send that all bags are collected, identify the ground-level door or column, and confirm they are at the curb.
