Picking Up or Dropping Off

We’re all in a hurry these days. That’s why at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, we’ve made drop-offs and pickups as quick and convenient as possible.

Curbside Pickup and Drop-off

If you’re just swinging by for a quick pickup or drop-off, enjoy any of our designated curbside areas.

The Upper Level is convenient for drop-offs and near the airlines’ ticket counters.

The Lower Level is convenient for pickups and near baggage claim.

If you like to wait in your vehicle until your guests arrive and call your cell, we recommend parking in our Express Shuttle Lot that offers a 2-hour grace period at no charge. It’s an excellent area for plane-spotting as well.
