I"m sorry that the rules have changed. It used to be very exciting to go to the gates to meet family and friends who were deplaning. But you are right, that is no longer permitted.

You can read excellent suggestings for meeting your grandson when he arrives fom Las Cruces at this linked website, What Happens Now.com

The first thing that might help both you and your grandson is to print maps of your airport so that you can communicate if you both have cell phones.

The first thing that is suggested is to have the airline name, flight number and connecting city of your grandson. Keep in touch with a parent so that you will know if he missed his flight or if it was delayed.

This info will also allow you to watch the boards so that you will know when it lands.

Do designate an area to meet. If he has luggage to collect, meet at the baggage carousel.

In a small airport there may be only one path a deplaning passenger can travel so you know when they enter the first possible area for you to meet them. If there is more than one route they might take, don't assume they will take the route you've always used.

If your grandson is a minor child, it is possible for his parents to arrange to have him escorted to the meeting place if this is done in advance.
