I will be meeting my daughter at BG Airport in Tel Aviv. We're arriving on different airlines because we're using different ff programs. Any suggestions for a central easy to find location in the airport where we can meet each other to get a cab into Tel Aviv?

How about the Coffee Bar located beyond the customs in the arrival hall? It is open 24/7.

Sounds perfect. Thanks.

note that the airport is not that big of a place. there is an arrival terminal with a baggage claim and a food court and that's about it. since all passengers deplane on the tarmac, BG is much smaller than most US airports.

ksose, you'd be in for a BIG surprise if you were arriveing at ben Gurion airport!
There has been a new terminal for about a year or 2 which is much much bigger. No more exiting on the tarmac, now you may have to walk a kilometer or so (on ramps and some moving sidewalks) to get from your plane's gate to the baggage claim, etc.
It's still not huge by North American or European standards, but is very much a proper international airport, with dozens or (hundreds?)of stores and restaurants

we just returned from israel and the gorgeous new airport. our driver met us at the steimetzky bookstore in the arrivals hall which was tables, so if one of you is early, you can sit down and wait.
