How this tool works

Plan airport pickup waves from guest count, vehicle capacity, arrival window, maximum wait, and hotel destinations. Use realistic values and treat results as planning estimates. Written vendor policies, contracts, and venue requirements take priority.

Methodology and assumptions

Vehicle count = ceiling(guests ÷ capacity). Wave count is estimated from arrival window ÷ maximum wait. Align real waves with flight arrivals, baggage, and destinations.

Worked examples

  1. 20 guests: group arrivals that land close together.
  2. 50 guests: split by landing time and hotel.
  3. 100 guests: plan multiple waves and verify luggage capacity.
