Lambert plans 2 cell phone lots, extra security for holiday

ST. LOUIS -- Lambert Airport officials expect 140,000 travelers to depart over the next week, and they're making plans to ease the burden. The St. Louis airport announced Monday it will open its cell phone parking lot Wednesday. A second, temporary, cell phone lot will also be opened. The idea is for those picking up arriving passengers to have a place to park for free until the visitors call by cell phone. Then, the driver pulls up to the terminal. The main cell phone lot has been under construction since early this month. It will be open during daylight hours only.
