Logan Announces Cell Phone Lot

This article in Boston.com thrilled me because one of the things I hated about picking people up at Logan airport in Boston was there was nowhere to park while I waited for them to arrive. The only option was to park in the central parking garage, which was fine, but it meant having to park, walk to the terminal, meet your party and then walk back to the car - a needless waste of time.

Many other airports have cellphone waiting areas and they are fantastic. When you arrive at the airport you park in the waiting area lot (which is free) and when your traveler arrives, they give you a jingle on your cell phone and you go pick them up. Brilliant.

I have used these lots in DC and Fort Lauderdale, and while Fort Lauderdale's lot is way too small to be practical, the idea is perfect. Way to go Boston!
