Lyft drivers must wait in designated staging areas at airports to be added to the queue for pickup requests. The queue operates on a first-in-first-out basis, meaning the driver who has been waiting in driver mode the longest gets the next request. Your physical location within the staging area does not affect your spot in the queue, but if you exit the staging area or log out of driver mode, you will lose your spot. If the staging area is full, you must leave the airport.
