Profali98: Those at the airport waiting to collect you just need to hold up a board with your name written in great big letters. They should be waiting at the point you clear Customs and walk through into the main hall. I hope this is the info you were after? Of course, mobile phones also have their uses! lol

I can just imagine a load of people all getting off the planes in somewhere busy like Heathrow all with little devices on the same frequency and all ending up finding everyone else but the person you are looking for. Stick with the mobile phone!

Telepathy works for me. What about a pieces of paper with the name of the arrive on it, standing preferably by the exit door. If the first fails, the second works for me every time.

Well, you can always meet up at an agreed location like a Hertz or Avis rental car counter. But if you insist on a device why not try some small GPS gadget

Msg 20, I used that when working at Alicante airport(a few years ago), Iberia staff could never figure out why the Brits were wetting themselves, Mary Hinge was another favorite.

For those very confused by the answer.......What do you call a man with a seagull on his head.....Cliff!

To answer the question posed by the thread - your eyes are the best devices for locating someone at an airport.
