How to pick someone up at JFK airport

I had to pick up my mom from an international flight arriving at JFK airport in New York. For future reference, here are the steps that you should take to do this with the least stress possible.

1. Before the flight, tell the person you are picking up to call you when they land.
2. Drive to the airport, arriving at about the same time the flight is supposed to land.
3. Go to the cell phone parking lot. This is just an empty parking lot that you can wait in.
4. From the cell phone parking lot drive to the terminal where your passenger will arrive. Pick out a landmark where you can tell your passenger to go to, like "Passenger Pickup Area C". This is just a test run (since your passenger has not actually called yet).
5. Go back to the cell phone parking lot. Read a book, listen to music, relax and wait.
6. When your friend calls you, tell them to call one more time after they have gotten through customs and picked up their bags.
7. When they call, tell them to go to the spot you already checked out, like "Passenger Pick Up C".
8. Pick them up and go home.
