Thank QFrodo,
Really appreciate your response and insight.
My friend arrives first on Delta at 8:25 in the am (terminal 2)
I arrive second on American Air at 10:45 am (terminal 3).
Our flight on Gol is at 2:35pm in Terminal 1. Do you think it makes the most sense for my friend to just wait at the Starbucks until I arrive, and we go to Terminal 1 together? Is there seating there (since he'll probably have to wait 2 hours for me)? Also, is there more only one Starbucks (or is there more than one that could lead to confusion)? I want to to make sure I give my friend accurate directions so that there isn't any confusion.
Or, based on your suggestion at the GOL recheck area--should I have my friend meet me there around 11:15/30 once I exit customs so we can both recheck our bags there? How easy is it to find the GOL recheck area in Terminal 3 since he will be coming from Terminal 2?
Thank you for your help and suggestions! I really appreciate it! It's hard to navigate an airport that I haven't been to!
