Early morning flights: how to book a 4 a.m. airport ride

Catching a dawn flight? How far ahead to book, when to leave, and what happens if you are running a few minutes late.

Early flights are often the cheapest, but they mean a pickup when the rest of the house is asleep. Here is how to make it easy.

Book the night before (at least)

Pickups run every day from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m., and you can book online 24/7. The minimum notice is 1 hour, but for early departures we strongly suggest booking the evening before so your driver is lined up.

Work back from your flight time

Allow time for check-in and security, then the drive. Our departures guide has a planner that helps you pick a pickup time.

Running a few minutes late?

For home pickups we wait up to 30 minutes after your pickup time, free. Still, it pays to have bags by the door the night before.

A quiet ride

Our vehicles are clean and quiet, with chilled water on board, so you can rest on the way. Your price is fixed when you book, with no early-morning surcharge.
