Eat at the Airport or Eat at Home?
Whether you eat before the flight depends almost entirely on when you arrive, and when you arrive depends on the transfer. A pickup timed to the check-in cut-off leaves no margin for a meal; one timed with buffer leaves an hour.
Tell us at booking if you want time on the ground before check-in, and the pickup moves accordingly. The fare does not change with the departure time, so an earlier run costs the same as a later one.
On arrivals the calculation reverses. A driver already waiting means you can be home inside the hour rather than eating landside because the queue for a cab is thirty minutes long.
