You are set down at the departures forecourt of your terminal; the airport drop-off charge is already in the price.

Flying home

Meeting your driver

Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal with a name board, past customs and baggage reclaim. Your flight is tracked, so an early or late landing moves the pickup with it. Up to 60 minutes of waiting after landing is free.
