New — picking up arrivals? A free 1-hour waiting lot is available at Ben Gurion Airport, allowing drivers picking up arriving passengers to wait comfortably for up to one hour without charge. This helps keep airport traffic clear and avoids dangerous roadside stops. The first hour is free (automatically applied at exit); overtime is charged as short-term parking (₪0.5/min); it's located on Airport Blvd, 5 minutes from Terminal 3; and roadside stopping carries a ₪500 fine, enforced by active security cameras.
