Getting around really isn't difficult, just take your time driving and follow the signs. As you enter the airport there are huge signs posted delegating numbers and colors to different airlines. This is where you must get your terminal information. Look for the name of the airline you need to get to. It will be assigned a terminal number and color. Just remember these two facts and the rest is easy.

There has been a considerable amount of construction going on within this airport for years so things may look confusing. If you not sure about driving or don't want to risk it, you can always hire a car service or limousine company.

If you are being dropped off for a departure simply follow the color and number to the terminal. Drive slowly so as to not pass the entrance of your color coded and number coded destination. The numbers and signs are very large and are hard to miss. At some point you'll turn into the number, color and terminal of choice. It's here that you have three options. One will take you to the same color coded parking area for your terminal. This is short term parking. The other two choices are "departures and arrivals". For a departure follow the sign. You generally will be going up a ramp and then look for the sign for your airline or ask one of the security people where it is. Some of the terminals are large and you don't want to walk further than is necessary. Once location is known you can go right to the counter or use the baggage collection areas outside. The rules of this option are changing these days due to heightened security. Call your airline for specific details or simply take your baggage to the counter.

VERY IMPORTANT ! If you are dropping someone off or being dropped off DO NOT leave the vehicle unattended, even for a moment. If help is needed with baggage have one of the captains help out. Security is VERY wary of unattended vehicles at airports. The least of penalties is a ticket and they are very quick to give them out for this infraction. They will also tow your car without hesitation.

If you are in the airport for a pick-up follow a few simple rules. First call and find out if the flight is on time. Once the flight is confirmed drive into the airport following the number and color coded signs.

This is now the tricky part. If you know your party has arrived and has their luggage via a cell phone contact, then you can go directly to the passenger pick-up area. Read signs carefully when driving up to the area. There are some restrictions at different terminals. Some separate taxis and limos from regular pick-up areas. Read the sign and slowly look for your party. Have them waiting outside if weather is suitable. Arrivals are on street levels outside the baggage claim areas. This area is also protected from snow and rain.

When you see your party, pull up to the nearest opening so as to not block other vehicles. Say your hello's quickly and pack the baggage and move on out.

If you are early to pick up your party before they have arrived, you WILL be "moved on" by security. Don't try hanging around if you are specifically told to move. YOU WILL GET TICKETED. Again this might seen like too much hassle and in that case you should use a car service company or limousine.

Now this isn't all that terrible. If you must move on, just follow your color again. It will circle you around and eventually get you right back to the terminal again. They really are very well marked.

The other option is to go directly to the short term parking area. This again, as explained earlier, is color and number coded in like manner of the terminal. Simply follow the color and number of your terminal to its corresponding parking lot, take a ticket as you enter, park your car, and walk to the terminal. It can be a five minute walk. There is a parking charge.

After you meet your party in the terminal you can lug everything to the car or pick up the car first, pay the parking fee and follow the coded signs back to the proper arrivals terminal.
