arrival halls

Where flights disembark

Arrival halls are the large open areas in airports or train stations where passengers emerge after disembarking and clearing customs or immigration.

These spaces typically feature information boards, seating, and crowds of people waiting to greet travelers: We agreed to meet in the arrival hall at Terminal 3.

The term appears mainly in international travel contexts.
