How do airports separate arrivals and departures?
Arriving and departing passengers do end up seeing each other, but are moved through separate channels. Most of the major airports (and some smaller airports) now have aero-bridges, apart from remote gates. Passengers disembarking through the aero-bridges are funneled out through a separate (controlled) exit.
Can you meet at baggage claim?
You should choose a fixed location in the baggage claim area and arrange to meet there. ... If you are walking into the terminal to meet them, and it is a US domestic flight, the best place to meet them is at Baggage Claim, even if they did not check any bags.
How do you ask for arrival time?
I ask guests simply if they know their time of arrival. Something like: “To help us best prepare for your arrival, do you have a general idea as to your arrival time? If so, please let us know. We look forward to hosting you.” In this instance, though we have keypad locks so we do not need to meet anyone for keys.
What is meant by arrival and departure?
A departure is the act of leaving somewhere. Think about an airport that has departure gates for outgoing passengers and an arrival area for people flying in.

What is the best way to pick someone up at the airport?
Most airports have the departure and arrival terminals stacked on top of each other or on opposite sides of the terminal. When you are picking someone up (or getting picked up), tell them to meet you at one of the departure doors. You would be amazed how empty those doors are compared to arrivals.

Airport Security people normally allow passengers to enter airports only 3 to 4 hours prior to the Scheduled Time of Departure.

You can go through immigration without your luggage, but customs will be located after baggage claim.
How do you politely ask how long something will take?
There are lots of ways you could ask, and that's one of them:
- Will it take long?
- Will it take a long time?
- Will it take a long time to finish?
- When do you think it'll be done?
- When do you think it might be done?
- Could you tell me when you think it might be done?
- Do you have any idea how long it might take?
How do you politely ask when someone will arrive?
One could of course say "When will you arrive". Subtract the time now from the time the person specifies. Bingo you know the time you will have to wait. Otherwise one could say "How long will you be".
How do you ask for home delivery?
"Do you have delivery" might be considered natural. I would ask "Do you deliver?" or, perversely, "do you make home deliveries?"
