PUBLISHED 25 SEPTEMBER 2026 / TRAVEL JOURNAL

The airport may change a flight or terminal, and the confirmed LDC meeting instructions remain the authority for the actual booking. This checklist prepares the enquiry.

01

1. Flight and terminal

Copy the flight number and arrival date from the passenger itinerary. Include the terminal where known. Recheck it close to departure and pass a change to the reservations team.

  • Flight number
  • Arrival date
  • Terminal
02

2. Traveller mobile

If an assistant books the car, give the passenger’s phone as well. The person walking out of arrivals should receive the agreed meeting instruction.

03

3. Luggage in real sizes

List full-size cases, cabin bags, pushchairs and equipment. A category with enough seats may not have space for everything.

04

4. The actual meeting point

Read the booking confirmation after reclaiming bags. Airport-wide advice online does not replace the location provided for that car and terminal.

05

5. The next destination

Add the complete hotel or office address and any further stop. If the same vehicle is required for meetings, request an hourly quote covering the full day.
