John F250 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I will be wintering lakeside this year, and will have a few visitors coming to see me. At GDL airport can you pick people up curbside at the baggage claim level without having to park?

Mainecoons Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 It takes a little coordinating but we have them come out to the center pedestrian island and we pick them up there. Lordy, that airport has gotten so much busier in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookj5 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I just tell people to look for the taxi booth near the exit from aduana. All they have to do is ask for Ajijic (or the town where you live) and the official will sell them a ticket.The taxi costs about $450 pesos and will take them right to your door. If you like, you can reimburse them for the taxi fare. You can even email them the directions in Spanish to your house and they can just hand it to the driver. Beats the heck out of dealing with all the traffic and trying to find guests in the busy airport pick up area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Agree with Cookj5. I take people to airport going home but let them taxi to my house when they arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelsZ4 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Don’t be cheap.. spend 60 peso and park.. Driving around and around then trying to find a spot to stop and pick them up is not worth the the aggravation.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susy Wilson Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I just went back to WA state for a week to visit my daughters and there was no fee to park at the airport last week. When I flew into Guadalajara my husband parked and came in to meet me at the gate coming out of customs. Took him about one minute to find a parking spot and us about 1 1/2 minutes to walk from the gate coming out of customs to the car and no fee to park. Easiest airport visit I have had in my life except for Missoula, Montana and their small airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 It's so easy to get a taxi and the passenger doesn't have the stress of keeping anyone waiting or inconvenienced if there is a delay. Cookj5 nailed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to be picked up and our friend always parks. It is nice to see a familiar smiling face on an arrival. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F250 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Thanks to all for your input. I think I will just park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not expensive but it can be difficult to get a space adjacent to the terminal these days. Really just amazing how the usage of this airport has grown so fast.

slainte39 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 And now direct flights to Europe. I think Paris is going to be the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Solar Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Agree on the "park and pick" option. Long term lot if waiting for the Paris travelers! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
