Before landing at Strasbourg Airport in Entzheim
Set the first waypoint before arriving in Alsace.
Write the name that appears on your ticket
Strasbourg Airport is in Entzheim. Put the airport and flight number in the request and give the local landing date, even when the journey begins the day before. If someone is coming through Strasbourg's central station instead, give that person a separate line in the plan. One group member should know how to send a change if the airline updates the schedule. Save the plan before leaving home, including the name of the person who will answer the phone after landing.
Put the first leg on the map with Strasbourg Airport to City Centre.
Plan beyond the aircraft door
Allow for getting off the aircraft, collecting bags and reaching the meeting point. A flight's scheduled arrival does not tell you when every traveller is ready to leave the building. If a bag needs to come from a separate belt or someone needs assistance, decide where the group will regroup. Ask for the agreed pickup instructions to include a place you can recognise without opening a map. A named public landmark is useful when a phone has poor reception.
For the approach and handoff, use Strasbourg Airport to Central Station.
Request an itinerary and quote
Use the contact form to describe this trip and ask GipTrans s.r.o. for an itinerary and quote.
Choose the first real waypoint
An old-town address in Strasbourg, a train from the city station and an arrival in Colmar are three different plans. For a hotel, check what door guests use when they have luggage. For rail, give the scheduled service and the time at which you need to be on the platform. In Colmar, ask if the approach to the accommodation is on a different street from the one shown in the reservation. Give the answer to the desk so the itinerary can be discussed.
Compare the next waypoint using Strasbourg Airport to Colmar.
Keep a map note offline
Write the airport, the meeting point, the first address, the passengers and any onward deadline in one place. Send it to your group. If you land late, use the note to explain what has changed.
If a companion is meeting you at the airport by rail, give them a copy of the terminal note rather than assuming they have the same arrival instructions as your flight. Decide if they should meet inside or wait elsewhere.
Ask about your waypoints
Give the route direction, access needs and local date.
