Where can I wait before an SLC pickup?
SLC’s free Park and Wait lot sits south of the parking structure on the airport approach. Its large flight-information signs help drivers monitor arrivals off-curb, but the decisive step remains a call or text from the traveler at the terminal frontage.

SLC pickup questions
Where do I enter SLC Park and Wait?
As you enter the airport, follow signs and take the left-side entrance south of the parking structure.
Can I rely only on the Park and Wait board?
Use it for context, then confirm by phone that the traveler is outside at a specific curb marker.
May I wait in front of the SLC terminal instead?
No. The terminal is reserved for active loading and unloading, not parked waiting.
