Brought to you by popular demand, Dulles Airport is pleased to provide a free cell phone waiting area.

What is it?

The cell phone waiting area is an ideal place to wait in your car until your arriving party calls you on your cell phone to let you know that their plane has arrived. Tell your party to proceed up any Arrivals Ramp and to look for a door number designated outside. The car waiting in the lot will locate that door number on the Main Terminal map that is posted inside the cell phone waiting area and will then drive to the Arrivals Ramp level to meet you.

Where is it?

The cell phone waiting area is located at the intersection of Rudder Road and Autopilot Drive. From the Dulles Access Road heading towards the Airport, follow the signs that say, "Cell Phone Waiting Area". This will lead you to Rudder Road. Go past the Economy Parking lot entrance on your right. Just past the traffic light at the intersection of Rudder Road and Autopilot Drive, you will turn left into the Cell Phone Waiting Area.
