Airport transfers: what to include to avoid delays
What to add to your airport transfer booking: terminal, flight time, luggage, meeting point, and waiting time—so your trip runs smoothly.
Airport transfers work best when your booking details are clear. This helps the driver plan arrival time, meeting point, and trunk space.
What to include (when applicable)
-
Airport + terminal
Example: “Terminal 2 — arrivals”. -
Flight time (or arrival time)
If you’re arriving, sharing the time helps set expectations. -
Meeting point
-
“Gate X”, “Exit Y”, “hotel reception”, “pickup zone”
-
In large airports, this avoids confusion.
-
Luggage and special items
-
Number of large bags
-
Stroller
-
Foldable wheelchair (include dimensions)
-
Waiting time and extra stops
If you expect stops, mention it in advance.
Professional note: extra waiting time or distance may result in additional charges, depending on your booking rules.
Example note
“Arriving at 14:10, Terminal 1. Meet at Exit B. 2 large suitcases + 1 backpack.”
Bottom line: the clearer the booking, the smoother the transfer.
