You will have to clear customs and immigration in any case which should not take long but you really have not given yourself any time for any flight delays. Give them the flight details and tell them to deliver the car 50 minutes after your arrival. That should give you the time for a coffee in the best case and should not make them wait in the other case.

Keeping notes throughout the holiday season, I wanted to see if I could pull together a more cohesive conclusion and began with a December 11 flight.
We ended up touching down at PM, and even though it was 35 minutes ahead of schedule, we arrived at an assigned gate at PM. In all, the total taxing time only took about 12 minutes. Regardless, it was a nice surprise. On the January 7 flight of UA , I decided to do some more of my own timekeeping.
Though the plane was originally scheduled to arrive at AM, the flight touched down over 20 minutes early at AM 1. Learn more. How do you estimate how long it takes to get out of an airport?

Flimzy May depend a lot on if they have checked bags to collect, if they qualify for the "speedy" locals line at immigration or if they have to wait for the "everyone else" slow queue, and if the country in question does "stop and review" customs or "walk through unless flagged down" — Gagravarr.
As examples: Hand luggage only, from row 1, my record is probably sub 3 minutes from plane door open until I was out of the small European airport. Entering the US as a non-citizen under the visa waiver program, with baggage to collect, customs to clear, and the bizarre arrivals security check at Atlanta, I think my worst was about 3 hours Gagravarr What is the bizarre arrivals security check at Atlanta?

Especially if it was visa on arrival. Are there separate lanes for immigrations for citizens and non-citizens?
Does the passenger you are picking up have items to declare for customs? Does the passenger you are picking up have checked-in luggage? Luggage carousels at the airport, some airports with few carousels makes people wait a lot for their luggage. Class of travel. Improve this answer. Now, the airline has retrained staff on a new, simplified process with the buzzword-y name "One Team, One Turn.
American gave the Arizona Republic and azcentral. A plane isn't making any money for the airline when it's sitting on the ground. The faster and more efficiently airlines can turn around their aircraft, the more use they can get out of each plane. For instance, when Southwest Airlines first started flying, it instituted a jaw-dropping minute turnaround time in order to get the most out of its original fleet of just three aircraft.
A spokesman for Southwest says the airline turns around aircraft in just over 30 minutes today. American's flight schedule operates with what staff describe as "peaks and valleys. An estimated 50 to 60 percent of the passengers on those flights will connect to another flight that will take off in that same period.
The schedule minimizes the length of layovers for connecting passengers and helps the airline efficiently use its fleet. But, that schedule also relies heavily on the people working to turn around the planes quickly between flights. There's a lot to be done in the typical hour window of time between flights: unload passengers, unload bags, refuel, clean the aircraft, restock catering supplies, perform maintenance, change crews, reload bags, reload passengers.
There are a lot of people hitting that aircraft making sure that it is ready for a safe departure," Taney said. Weather and maintenance issues often affect on-time performance, but the turnaround process also affects whether the airline can make up time or whether delays create a domino effect across the system.
On-time performance is an area where American has room to improve. S carriers for on-time performance. So the airline recently studied its turnaround process to see how it could be more efficient. Taney said staff found a lengthy, two-page bureaucratic checklist that really wasn't practical. It simplified the steps into a "One Team, One Turn" process that focuses on six goals for every team involved in the turnaround. The whole process takes about an hour, but it now has room for crews to prepare for possible obstacles in the process as well as identify places where it can make up for delays.
American Airlines gave us a chance to observe the new system turn in action. On Friday, May 10, we watched the transition between Flight from Tucson scheduled to arrive at a.
