Planning an airport transfer for a group at YOW

Prepare a group transfer at YOW with flight details, passenger counts, luggage, meeting instructions and return arrangements.

Collect the flight details

List flight numbers, dates and the passengers on each arrival. If people arrive on several flights, identify which travellers can wait together and which need separate transfers. Give the onward hotel or event address, rather than only the name of the city.

Count the luggage

Send the number of checked suitcases, cabin bags and oversized items. Include any mobility aids so the team can confirm both storage and boarding arrangements. A passenger count alone is not enough to select the right airport vehicle.

Confirm where everyone meets

Ask Maestro to confirm the meeting point, pickup window and group contact. If you want a baggage-claim meet-and-greet, request it in advance. The flight landing time is different from the time the group will be ready after baggage collection.

Plan the departure separately

For the return to YOW, provide the flight departure details, pickup address and passenger count. Agree on the hotel meeting instructions and time needed to load bags. If flight information changes, contact Maestro to review the arrangements before the journey.

Put the plan into practice

For Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW), provide flight details, the passenger count, luggage quantities and the group coordinator. Ask Maestro to confirm the meeting location, pickup window and proposed vehicle before travel.

Before you send your inquiry

Review the itinerary with the people responsible for the places you are visiting. Loading access, the final headcount and return times help the team prepare a useful quote. Once arrangements are confirmed, share the same version of the plan with everyone travelling.
