Messages for this situation
Use the name the passenger expects
Friends and family usually recognize a first name or nickname fastest. Professional drivers may need a title and surname, booking name, family name, or organization.
Preserve the passenger’s spelling and accents. If two scripts are needed, keep one version dominant instead of shrinking both equally.
Build a simple recognition hierarchy
The passenger is scanning faces, exits, luggage, and other signs. Make the identifying name the easiest element in the scene.
A hotel, company, or meeting point can sit on a second line. Flight numbers, phone numbers, and long greetings normally belong in your private notes.

Prepare before arrivals
Check the spelling, charge the device, silence notifications, raise brightness, and open the sign before the passenger appears. Hold it without blocking the walkway.
Static text is usually better for a name. If the phrase must scroll, move it slowly and repeat the identifying word often.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Arrival name board FAQ
What should an airport pickup sign say?
Use the passenger name they expect to see. Add the hotel, company, or group only when it helps confirm the pickup.
Is an iPhone large enough for an airport sign?
It works well for short names in landscape. An iPad is better for long surnames, groups, and professional two-line signs.
Should an airport pickup sign scroll?
A static passenger name is usually easier to recognize. Use slow scrolling only when essential text cannot fit clearly.
