Plane landing at sunset

Overnight flights in particular often land early, and it can feel like a race to the arrivals hall. In practice, an early landing rarely causes a problem.

Why early landings usually work out

Even after touchdown there's taxiing, getting off the plane, passport control and baggage reclaim. That usually takes a good while, so by the time you're through, your driver is often already on the way or waiting.

The one thing to do

Message us when you land, and again when you have your bags. It's the simplest way to make the pickup seamless.

Why your flight number matters

If you gave us your flight number when you booked, we plan around your actual landing time rather than the scheduled one. See how airport pickups work.
