Who flies from here
Every arrival from overseas
Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Air New Zealand, Qantas international and the rest of the long-haul and regional international carriers all clear into the same arrivals hall here.
45 minutes from touchdown
Passport control and baggage on an international arrival are unpredictable in a way a domestic arrival is not, so the free waiting here is more than double the domestic allowance.
A separate building
This is not the Domestic Terminal. The Airtrain connects them in five minutes for $5, but a car meeting you has to be sent to the right one, and the flight number tells us which.
Customs is the variable
Nothing predicts how long the queue is. Your driver is tracking the aircraft, not the clock, and waits without charging you for the part neither of us controls.
Where to walk
Meeting your driver
Your driver waits at the kerb outside the International Terminal arrivals hall. You get their name, photo and plate number by text while you are still in the baggage hall.
Before you land
A text arrives with your driver's name, photo, plate number and the exact spot to walk to.
When you land
Clear customs, collect your bag and walk out through the arrivals doors. Your driver has been watching the flight since it left and is at the kerb before you are.
If you are held up
You have 45 minutes of free waiting from the moment the aircraft is on the ground, and a delayed flight moves the pickup rather than costing you anything.

International Terminal questions
How long will you wait if customs is slow?
45 minutes from the moment the aircraft is on the ground, free. Beyond that we stay in touch rather than leaving.
I have a domestic connection afterwards.
The Airtrain runs between the two terminals in five minutes for $5. If you would rather be driven across we can do that, but the train is usually quicker.
Can you meet me inside?
Yes. A meet-and-greet inside the arrivals hall with a name board is available on request when you book. Kerbside is the default because it is faster.
Is the fare different from the Domestic Terminal?
No. The fare is set by where you are going, not which terminal you left from.
What if my flight is diverted?
We track the aircraft, so a diversion shows up to us before it reaches the arrivals board. We call you rather than waiting at an empty gate.
