Important Booking Notes
- Always confirm shuttle times and availability for your arrival/departure; some shuttles run 24/7, others have limited hours.
- Ask about luggage capacity of the shuttle (especially if you have large bags or equipment).
- Check if the shuttle is free or has a fee/reservation requirement.
- Make sure pickup/drop-off point at the airport is clear (terminal, meeting area etc.).
- If travelling very early or late, ensure the hotel knows your flight details because shuttles may adjust to delayed/early arrivals.
