What Does Your BUF Arrival Status Mean?
BUF Arrivals & Baggage Claim Are on the Lower Level
Buffalo Niagara International Airport identifies Arrivals and baggage claim on the lower level. The airport currently lists baggage-service offices in lower-level baggage claim, the Information Desk across from baggage claim and SmarteCarte service in lower-level baggage claim.
How BUF Arrivals Curbside Pickup Works
Buffalo Airport states that curbside pickup areas are for active loading and unloading. Vehicles should not remain at the curb while a passenger is still inside the terminal. The airport provides a free Cell Phone Lot on Buell Avenue where drivers can wait until the arriving passenger has luggage and is ready to be picked up in the arrivals area.
Where to Meet Your Driver After Baggage Claim
If you have a confirmed BUF Buffalo Airport Taxi® reservation, keep your phone available after landing. Flight information supplied with the reservation helps with arrival coordination, while major flight or itinerary changes should still be reported to dispatch with the Booking ID.
After collecting your luggage, exit the Arrivals level and follow the current driver or dispatch instruction. Confirmed customers are generally directed to Pole #13 unless a different current pickup location is provided for the ride.
