I’ve been to airports like this before. Give him a hug and say bye.

sit up front and handle your own luggage. no need to hug. Not sure about DFW but had it at Phila train station couple years ago. Bypassed enormous taxi line and took nearby car, station police followed and waited for me to get out. I told driver to pull into parking garage. Lost them and left within 5 minutes so no charge. Eff-the transit cops and traditional cab cos. I don't like getting caught in middle but I feel no loyalty to traditional broken model.

Im out of Dallas. They have to go through car inspection and background check with the airport, to be licensed (sticker on windshield) to pick up passengers at DFW. Some people, like your person, wait outside the airport property and drive in once they get a passenger.

I had this and complied. Just sit in the front and don’t get the driver to put your luggage in the boot for you. At the end of the day, I want convenience, quick journey home, and a cheap ride. I don’t give a damn about the rules.

I am scheduled to fly from NYC to Mumbai via Paris next Wednesday (Jan 5) for a ~10 day trip.

I’ve had all recommended vaccine shots and I’m only in Paris for a 2 hour layover (not leaving the airport). Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!
