First some facts:
*Terminal 4, the US Air/ Southwest terminal, is huge.
*There are 2 pickup areas, they are known as North Curb and South Curb
*North Curb has odd door numbers, South Curb has even door numbers.
*If you are traveling west (towards downtown Phoenix and my office) you should get picked up on south curb since the exit for south curb is to the west. If you are traveling to the east (towards the Young's or New Mexico) North curb is a better option since the exit is to the east.
*Door 1 (North) and 2 (South) are great pickup doors if your plane arrives at a "D" gate but terrible if your plane arrives at a "C" gate.
*Door 7 (North) and Door 8 (South) are great pickup doors if your plane arrives at a "C" gate but terrible if your plane arrives at a "D" gate.
Utilizing the information above and http://www.southwest.com/ it is very easy to pick me up. At Southwest.com not only can you find the updated flight arrival time you can also find the gate information! That way you don't have to do to me what Dora did to me yesterday.
When heading into the office she first said she was at the North Curb (KT thinks, North Curb? Why would she do that?) Then as KT arrives in a C gate and begins walking the North curb Dora says she is in front of Door 2! Door 2 is South curb (good) but I had already walked to North Curb and Door 2 is the absolute farthest place to walk from the C gates!
The good news is that Dora took me straight to the office via I-10, not I-17, that was Diane's route ;)
Note Pictures since she was even further than Door 2:

Excellent! If you can't find anyone to pick you up, call me! Now I know it all! :)
Too much info to process, I think I'd just let you "grab a cab" from which ever door/curb you came out!
;-)
if i hadn't experienced the whole north curb/south curb door number thing myself i would have been so confused! and, of course, i have had to meet a driver at the LAST possbile door on whichever curb it was! getting picked up from sky harbor is like a little game... :)
:)
North/South...IDK...Alisa is right. It's like a game. I had so much picking KT up from the airport. Next time, I might try Diane's I-17 route!
I pity the poor person that picks you up next time - "Didn't you read my post?!"
All I can say is WOW....
Makes me want to jump in line to be the next to take you. NOT!
I-17 took forever, the 10 is much better if you remember the way to go(and don't miss the exit). I think I need another try!
LOL, Anonymous. Don't you realize this is a make fun of Dora post? LMAO
I get so confused. I have them wait in the cell phone lot, and have them direct me.
love doors 2 and 7. This is where to pick up the Queen. Don't even care which direction we're going, I just like those numbers :)
I've flown into Phoenix for 4.5 years and never known this. I just have Bruce the cute stewardess...waitress...steward dude...flight attendant blind fold me as I depart the plane, spin me around "bunches and bunches" as he likes to say and then I get into whatever car door is open.
No wonder I'm ALWAYS late for meetings in Phoenix.
Word of advice: Stay away from 1-17
