Calculate arrival time in local terms
A flight arrival time is not the moment you exit the terminal. Allow for immigration, baggage and meeting the driver. Ask where the pickup point is, how delays are handled and what happens if a phone cannot connect. For a late-night arrival, check whether the hotel offers 24-hour reception.
Review group and luggage requirements
A sedan suitable for two people may not fit four large suitcases or sports gear. Tell the supplier about children requiring suitable restraints, mobility devices and any unusual luggage. Shared transfers can be economical but may involve waiting and multiple hotel stops.
Book excursions around energy levels
A demanding full-day tour after a night flight can make the first holiday day unpleasant. Compare tour length, walking demands, pickup location, cancellation terms and what is included. For weather-dependent activities, think about a backup day rather than putting the experience immediately before leaving the destination.
Confirm times and contacts in one itinerary
Make a single travel summary with flight numbers, local times, hotel address, transfer reference and emergency contact instructions. If flights change, check whether the transfer must also be amended. Traveller details should be shared securely and only where needed for the service.
What to include in your enquiry
- All flight numbers and local arrival times
- Hotel names, travellers and baggage volume
- Children, accessibility needs and relevant transfers
- Tours of interest and physical activity preferences
