At Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), a designated waiting area provides motorists a convenient space to temporarily park without charge. This area allows drivers to await confirmation from arriving passengers that they are ready for pickup at the terminal curb.
The provision of such a space enhances traffic flow around the airport by mitigating congestion at the arrival zones. Historically, before such zones, circling the airport was common, leading to bottlenecks and potential safety concerns. The designated area offers a stress-free alternative, improving the overall experience for both drivers and passengers.
