This No Kissing sign was unveiled at Warrington Bank Quay railway station in Warrington, England Monday in a bid to cut delays. The sign has been placed at the drop off point, because departing passengers and drivers block access to the station with their vehicles while saying goodbye to each other. Virgin Rail, which runs the station, says if passengers want to share an embrace before they part company, their loved ones should pay to park their cars nearby. (AP Photo/Peter Byrne/-pa)

Question: Which is your preferred practice when dropping people off at the airport: Stop, drop, and roll? Curb side with long goodbyes? Use the meter parking and help them with their bags to the counter? Garage parking and wait with them until they’re out of sight beyond the security stations?
