Gate pass at Atlanta Hartsfield

7/5/2015 1:44:25 PM

The usual process is simple enough, and free. Have someone like a parent or whoever bought the ticket contact the airline and give the the name(s) of whoever you want to meet the passenger. That person(s) goes to the ticket counter and picks up the gate pass then goes thru security just like normal. We are doing this today – my wife and I – at Atlanta to help our two grandchildren get on the plane and settled it. We did the same thing a week ago when they were getting off the plane. Their parents had called Southwest and had both of our names put on the OK-give-them-gate-passes list. It went zip zip zip.

You may ask for a gate pass from the check in desk, which will enable you to go airside. However, it is really supposed to be for escorting people to the aircraft, not collecting them from the aircraft. Therefore, I would call the airline to discuss it now.

Option 2 is to buy a fully refundable ticket for the day in question. Once you have got airside and met up with the person, exit the zone, tell the ticketing desk that you have changed your mind, will not be flying today and wish to action a refund. There may be a fee of 20 USD or so for this.
