Question
My son and wife will arrive about one hr ahead of us and have reserved a rental car from Thrifty.  I don't know if the car is at the airport or a remote lot.  My question is where to meet the kids.  Would it be better for us to go to Thrifty or for them to come back to baggage claim for us? We are so spoiled by cell phones the lack of communication will be scary.

Answer
Hi Sharon!  The rental car agencies are right acros the street from the arrivals exit of the airport. What I would suggest..is to send them over to get the paperwork for the car, leave the car parked and just go back across the street to wait for you. It is literally "across" the street! There are also some benches to sit down, so even If everyone wants to wait for you to arive, it shouldn't be that much of a matter.The airport there is not as confusing as the large airports here in the States. It is busy, but subtle! In fact, when you go out the arrival terminal, you will be looking at Thrifty, just to give you an idea how close it is!!  If there is anything else I can help you with, feel free to call on me again!!  Have a nice trip!!
