The operator is SHA Plus certified, which means staff vaccination and health protocols are in place. One suitcase and one carry-on per passenger are typical; oversized sports gear may need prior approval. Representatives wait inside the paging area; maximum waiting time is 90 minutes from flight arrival. The service runs 24/7, but if you book within six hours of arrival, call the local hotline. For first arrivals, have your flight number, hotel name, and full address in the booking notes—this speeds pickup and reduces missed connections.
