The LAX lot is rather far from the terminals and some of the terminals have horrid cell reception because of a combination of old construction and thousands of O&D passengers all on their cell phones.
I never use it. I either park and pay the $3 for an hour (free if you are in and out in 15 minutes) or I confirm that the person I'm picking up is on the curb.

Is this a new chain copying McDonalds?

Plus I think it's nice to greet someone at the gate (albeit I skip the flowers) when the arrive, or when they are returning (why yes, I am a big softie at heart!)
I miss the old days of actually going to the gate.
