An arrival-day sequence
- Complete arrival formalities and collect luggage.
- Confirm terminal and current transport information.
- Check ticketing for the service you selected.
- Save the hotel address and the final walk before leaving the airport.
Allow for a late arrival
Check current operating times through the airport and operator websites. If your flight is delayed, preserve the essentials: reaching your accommodation, checking in and having a meal. Avoid assuming the timetable from an old screenshot is still valid.
