New waiting lot at Lafayette airport looks to alleviate traffic for pickup

LAFAYETTE, La. ( KLFY ) — There is a new waiting area at the Lafayette Regional Airport for drivers waiting to pick up passengers.

When drivers arrive, they can stay right as if they are going toward the pickup areas. As they get closer, the lot will be on the right where they can pull into one of the 20 available spots to wait for the text or call that their loved one or passenger is ready to be picked up.
