Before you travel

Using these planning guides

Use these guides to prepare a Seattle itinerary, then confirm details against your travel documents. Start with the airport pickup guide for a SEA arrival, the cruise guide for a named terminal, or the hourly guide for a day with waiting and several stops. A vehicle comparison helps with group fit, but your passenger and luggage counts still belong on the request. Official airport and terminal information should be reviewed alongside the written instructions attached to your reservation.

Read for the next decision in your trip

Start with the SEA pickup guide when the meeting point is unresolved, or the cruise guide when you need to identify the pier and the return arrangement. Use the vehicle comparison when people and luggage need to fit together. If the day includes waiting through several appointments, the hourly guide explains how to describe availability. Reading the guide closest to the decision makes the eventual request clearer than sending a broad request for Seattle transport.

Turn the notes into a reservation request

Copy the relevant flight, ship or host instructions into your itinerary and provide the actual addresses. List extra stops and distinguish fixed deadlines from estimates of passenger readiness. A guide provides planning context; the reservation should still confirm the vehicle class, meeting instructions and handling of changes. Use official travel information to review current conditions and access details. Keep the reviewed itinerary available to the traveler who will answer pickup messages, especially when someone else arranged the journey.
