Pick-up

1. Find out if your passenger's flight is arriving on time by contacting our automated flight information service on (08) 8308 9400, visiting the Flights section of our website or check with their airline.
2. Given the long length of the Pick-up and Drop-off bay, suggest to your passenger a point along the zone where they should wait to be picked up, e.g. 'outside the lifts' or 'just before the pedestrian lights at the far end'.
3. Remember when picking up a passenger, take into account the time they'll need to disembark their flight and collect their luggage; allow 10-15 minutes.

Drop-off
1. If you're being dropped off and looking to check in, you can either take the lifts at the car park to the second floor and walk across the link bridge, or walk across the plaza to the lifts and use the escalators inside the Terminal.
