Planning ahead is the key to a smooth journey. This airport transfer checklist helps you organise reliable airport transfers, avoid last-minute stress and arrive on time.

Whether you’re travelling for business or leisure, following a clear airport transfer checklist ensures your pickup or drop-off runs exactly as planned.

Quick Airport Transfer Checklist

• ✅ Confirm your departure airport, date and flight time
• ✅ Choose the correct vehicle for passengers and luggage
• ✅ Double-check pickup address and contact number
• ✅ Add notes for accessibility needs or extra luggage
• ✅ Re-check flight details the day before travel
• ✅ Be ready at least 10 minutes before pickup

1️⃣ Before You Book an Airport Transfer

Before booking, confirm your departure airport, flight date and time. Always allow buffer time for traffic, roadworks and peak travel periods.

Selecting the right vehicle is essential. Luggage often takes up more space than expected, particularly for family holidays or long-haul trips.

Our vehicle options guide explains passenger capacity and luggage space clearly.

2️⃣ Booking Day Checks

On the day you book your airport transfer, re-check your flight details and terminal information.

Save your booking confirmation and ensure your contact number is reachable on the day of travel.

3️⃣ The Day Before Travel

Re-check your flight status the day before you travel. Airlines can change departure times or terminals at short notice.

Pack essentials such as passports, chargers and medication separately so they’re easy to access.

Set a “ready time” at least 10 minutes before your scheduled pickup to avoid delays.

4️⃣ Airport Drop-Offs

For airport drop-offs, being ready early helps ensure a calm start to your journey.

Allow extra time during busy periods and follow airport signage for designated drop-off zones.

5️⃣ Airport Pickups After Landing

Once you land, keep your phone switched on so your driver can coordinate the pickup smoothly.

Message when you reach baggage reclaim to help time your collection accurately.

Agreeing a clear meeting point makes pickups quicker and less stressful.
