OTOH, it's a fairly small terminal and would be easy to meet in baggage claim (perhaps at the belt for the later flight) or just after exiting customs, although that area of the airport can be crowded. If you continue toward public transportation by walking straight ahead, there's an information desk that could be a good meeting point.
