Drivers picking up someone at Spokane International Airport have a new amenity to make the trip easier.
The airport last month opened a free new parking lot along West Airport Drive that is designated for cellphone users who are picking up passengers.
Drivers can pull into the lot and wait for a call from the arriving passenger when they are ready for pickup at the terminal curb. The parking lot is on the righthand side of inbound Airport Drive about a quarter mile from the terminal. Todd Woodard, airport spokesman, said the 40-car lot is already getting a fair amount of use. Normally, there are eight to 10 drivers waiting for calls, he said. More here. Mike Prager, SR
