_Avoid_: Plan extra time if you’re flying early from the single checkpoint between 5-7 a.m., as it can get backed up. - _Quiet_: Concourse B feels peaceful and airy with its natural light and local art, making for a relaxed wait compared to the older structures. - _Local_: Grab a Memphis-style barbecue meal at Backyard BBQ in Concourse B for an authentic taste without venturing into the city. - _Money_: Use the Cell Phone Lot for free when waiting for arrivals; it's just minutes from the terminal. - _Time_: With most eateries closing early, get your food in the main rotunda area to avoid slim pickings on later flights. - _Insider_: Take advantage of the free 30-minute short-term parking to meet your arrivals inside without a parking fee. - _Insider_: For avgeeks, late-night provides spectacular views of FedEx operations. Concourse B’s windows are prime for viewing the bustling cargo activity. - _Avoid_: Public transit is sparse in the evening. Arrange rideshares or hotel shuttles in advance if arriving post-dinner. ## Travellers notes mentioning MEM - [How Memphis flyers really park at Memphis International Airport before heading out of town](https://airport.flights/notes/mem-parking) — by Imani Reeves, 2026-06-22 Local MEM regulars skip the guesswork.
