Can I pick up a passenger arriving from San Jose, CA in my motorhome? Is there any clearance restrictions to just pick someone up outside of the baggage area?
Thank you!

Can you pick up your luggage upon arrival and return to a food court without going thru security again? Have a 2+hr wait for the Corvalis shuttle.

Hi Eric,
Since baggage claim is beyond the security checkpoint, you will not be able to re-enter the Terminal without an onward boarding pass.

Major construction project prohibits access inside terminal between the C/B concourse and D/E concourse. Be sure you use the security check point accordingly, or you will need to exit and start over going through the correct security checkpoint according to which concourse/gate your departure is on.
