Waiting for requests:
  1. Wait in the designated staging areas pictured above. Only drivers within the designated staging areas are added to the queue. The airport has two designated TNC staging areas.
    1. North Cell Phone Lot: located at the corner of Fort Court and Lockheard Court
    2. South Cell Phone Lot: directly off Abbott Drive at Abbott Avenue. You'll see orange construction signs that say 'South Cell Phone Lot.'
  3. You may see multiple airport staging lots in the app. You can choose any available lots and it won't affect your place in the queue. The app will show how many drivers are waiting in each staging lot.
  4. Do not wait in parking spots not designated for Lyft drivers. The airport needs to leave spaces open for other patrons to wait for their pickups.
  5. The queue is first in-first out. The driver who has been waiting within the staging area in driver mode the longest gets the next request. Your physical location within the staging area does not affect your spot in the queue, but if you exit the staging area or log out of driver mode, you will lose your spot.
  6. If the staging areas are full, you must leave the airport. You may not wait for requests anywhere else on airport property or use any other parking lots while in driver mode.
  7. Passenger cancellations don't affect your place in line. If your passenger cancels on you, head back to the staging area. As long as you're back within 15 minutes, you'll be placed at the front of the queue.
  8. Driver cancellations and missed requests do affect your place in line. You can miss or decline up to 3 rides before getting placed at the back of the queue.
  9. You can view your place in line in the app. Learn how to view your position in the queue here.
