Question about the SLC airport

[OakLeaf]

The 0.5-2-3 oz reusable containers are great for car/mc/bici trips too, even when they're not legally required. Who wants to carry 12 or 16 oz of anything when all you need for your trip is 2? If you get some for this trip, you won't regret having them in the future (and they don't cost that much).


I think these are the ones I use for extra chamois cream and sunblock in the jersey pocket ...

I am meeting other relatives who are flying in from New York, and we will all be picked up by the relative who live in Nevada. The NY relatives are planning to take a flight that arrives 5 hours after the flight that I want to take.

If I take a later flight, I'll have to deal with rush hour traffic getting to the airport on this end, and will go straight from the plane to a four-hour car trip when I arrive. So although five hours in an airport is generally not my idea of a good time, I figure it will be better to be able to have a big, leisurely lunch and then walk around the shops to stretch my legs for a while. Plus we will arrive in Nevada an hour or so earlier than if I take a later flight, since it's scheduled to get in an hour after the NY relatives.

I guess I will have to get travel sizes of everything and make it last for 6 days. Borrowing from the Nevada relative is not something I can count on because I have too many skin allergy problems with lotions and soaps.

Thanks!!

...the relative who live in Nevada. ... I guess I will have to get travel sizes of everything and make it last for 6 days.

How about mailing 6 days of supplies to the Nevada relative?

Laura, that's a good idea.

I had to do the same thing at the SLC airport last year. I was flying in for a ski trip, the boyfriend was flying in a few hours later, and the people already there were only making one trip out to get us. I was worried about someone taking my snowboard bag so I left security right away.

There is a snack bar outside of security that sells pretty good sandwiches, but there are a number of tables set up in front of it where you could eat a to-go meal from a restaurant inside security. Other than that, there isn't much.

I think you should see if you can have a pizza delivered to the passenger pick-up area outside the terminal

Maybe you can get your luggage and ask the customer service people for your airline to hold it for a few hours while you wait for your relatives. That way it would at least be in a secure area. I don't know if they'll do it, but it's worth asking so you don't have to schlepp your luggage around with you for hours.
