AVL Opens Cell Phone Waiting Lot

Individuals picking up arriving passengers at Asheville Regional (AVL) now have a new place to wait.

A cell phone waiting lot, which costs nothing to use, replaces the airport’s “first 20 minutes free” parking in the short-term parking area. Visitors can remain in the lot for as long as necessary, as long as they remain with their vehicle.

“Excellent customer service is a top priority for us, and a cell phone lot is certainly an added benefit for travelers and their loved ones,” says Lew Bleiweis, airport director. “The prevalence of mobile devices makes instituting this service a perfect next step for AVL, and we’re happy to add this convenience for our customers.”

The new lot can be found past the main terminal and down the hill on the right side of Terminal Drive.
