What if I miss my flight and I am on another one?

In that case, you will need to advise us prior to boarding your flight. If we don't hear from you we will have set the wheels in motion to meet your original flight. If you are not on it you will be deemed to be a 'no show' and the vehicle will depart without you.  The airlines are not empowered to divulge passenger lists so we have no way of tracking you down.

If unavailable, we will recommend other transfer companies for you to contact.
