4. Passenger Drop-off/Pick-up: This holiday season we are reminding the public when you pick up/drop off passengers at the airport the driver of the vehicle must always stay with the vehicle.  Vehicles on the curb cannot be left unattended and are subject to a Police citation and a TSA fine.  The curb is for active loading and unloading of passengers. Sitting and waiting for someone is not allowed. South Terminal parking garage is free up to 30 minutes.   Just prior to entering the airport, a cell phone lot is also available to those awaiting arrivals.

5. Cell Phone Parking Lot: If you're picking up passengers, there is a free cell phone lot available for drivers to wait until arriving passengers have deplaned, collected luggage and called to be picked up outside Baggage Claim. The cell phone lot is located in a designated area of the DOTPF Central Region Headquarters parking lot - just two-minutes away from both the South and North Terminals. Directions to the lot: From International Airport Road driving west to the airport, turn right at the Aviation Avenue exit and follow signs to the lot. Drivers must stay with their vehicles. Parking along International Airport Road is strictly prohibited.  For a map, please visit the Airport's website at dot.alaska.gov/anc/travelerInfo/parkingSrvcs.shtml.
