Or is the baggage area (where I normally meet people in the USA) reasonable there as well. I just am not sure because its a different airport and it will be 1-2am when I arrive.
You can't meet people at the baggage claim. It is part of the secure area and people can't go there without an official airport ID. I never understood the weird part of US airports where anyone can got to baggage claim. And potentially unmonitored take any item they want.
There is an area where most of the hotels do their meet and greets, and it is probably the easiest place. The terminal exit doors are numbered, so just agree to meet at a specific door.
