arrival lounge
Post-flight waiting area
An arrival lounge is an area in an airport terminal where passengers gather after landing—passing through customs, collecting baggage, and meeting people who've come to pick them up.
The term contrasts with departure lounge, where travelers wait before boarding.
Some airports offer premium arrival lounges where business-class passengers can shower or rest after long flights.
