Pickup Instructions:

SMART TIPS: (these tips are designed to avoid missed flights!)

1. If we request a slight adjustment to your pickup time for proper scheduling, please be accommodating.

2. Allow yourself plenty of time; plan on arriving at the airport 2 hours or more ahead, even for domestic flights. Arrive early, relax and read a good book or have a cup of coffee. Arriving early also allows you a 'buffer zone' for any issues which may arise. The 'buffer zone' should be at least the travel time to the airport from your pickup location.  Please plan on arriving early!

Early morning pickup instructions: Due to the darkness, and it being difficult to read the address in the dark, we ask our guest to please turn on a porch light so that we arrive at the correct location.
