to be specific, they want right lane curbside. The area where American Airlines is has three Sections and all three sections have curbside. They want you to drop off on the section closest to the building. The Center section Curbside is for regular passenger vehicles (non Uber or Taxi) and buses.

When you land at the airport, all you want is a ride home or to a hotel. Yet that's one of the few places in some cities where Uber, Lyft and other ride-sharing services aren't.

Of the 40 busiest U.S. airports, 10 don't allow pickups unless drivers have a chauffeur's license or livery plates, including Atlanta, Orlando, Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia. Seattle, Minneapolis and New Orleans started allowing legal ride-sharing pickups only this year. Miami-Dade County approved an ordinance on May 3 allowing ride-sharing companies. Lyft Inc. has a permit to operate at the airport but Uber Technologies Inc. doesn't yet, the airport says. In Kansas City and both Houston airports, Uber is permitted but Lyft isn't.

Sometimes bans are loosely enforced and drivers pick up passengers anyway. But not always: Orlando uses mystery shopping firms which pose as travelers to bust rogue ride-sharing drivers, an airport spokeswoman says. Miami airport police issued 4,000 citations to ride-sharing drivers over the past several years, each with a $1,010 fine. So far, 300 have been paid and 3,700 are on appeal, the airport says.
