if i am picking up someone from the airport in my car am i allowed to pick them up at departures instead of arrivals? I thought of this recently when i called for a car service after arriving and the dispatcher asked me to go upstairs to departures because they considered it to be less congested for the driver picking me up
Yes you can, but you have to make sure that the person(s) your picking up is already waiting there when your there. There is plenty of security at departures and they will generally tell you to leave if they see you there idle with no passenger getting out of your car.
But I really don't see the reason why since the baggage claim is by the arrivals area. So your passenger would have to go down to get his/her bags, and then go back up again instead of just walking out the door?

mom and brother might decide to fly into Newark instead as they have some concern about the runways at LGA!
I can relate to that. LaGuardia dates from the 1930s, when airplanes were a little smaller than they are these days. That's why I always fly in and out of JFK--the runways at LaGuardia make me nervous. (There's probably no reason for me to be, but as we say in this town, waddaya gonna do?)
There actually ARE nonstop, direct flights between ATL and JFK. LGA is preferable, however (more flights). However, if they wish to sit on the tarmac for endless hours waiting for a parking slot to open up for their plane, they should choose EWR. EWR is an airport to be avoided.
