An airline itinerary contains more information than a road-transfer team needs, but the few relevant details must agree. Before requesting your Davos car, check the flight, airport, arrival date and passenger contact together. A brief audit prevents a perfectly valid flight booking from producing a transfer request for the wrong day or airport.
Start with the flight that actually lands
For a connecting journey, identify the final flight into the pickup airport. The first departure from your home city does not describe when the car is needed. Copy the final flight number and its arrival date into your notes, then compare them with the destination airport shown on the ticket. If the booking displays both a marketing airline and an operating airline, include both rather than choosing one from memory. Keep the itinerary available for clarification.
Separate booking names from passenger names
A transfer may be paid for or arranged by somebody who is not travelling. Write down the passenger who will meet the driver, the number of people actually entering the vehicle and the mobile number that will work on arrival. A company name or family organiser can remain the booking reference, but it should not replace the travelling contact. Ask that person to read the details before submission, especially when several relatives share a similar name.
Check the arrival calendar, not the departure calendar
An overnight flight can leave on one date and reach Switzerland on another. Read the local arrival date printed for the final airport, including any next-day indication. Then enter the requested pickup information using the time convention displayed by the booking form. Do not subtract a home-country time difference mentally and overwrite the ticket time. When the itinerary is unclear, send the relevant flight details for review before accepting a written transfer confirmation.
Use the airport board as a cross-check
Zurich Airport provides an official arrivals search where you can check flight information. Use it to cross-check the airport and flight you supplied, particularly after an airline schedule change. A search result is an operational update, not a replacement for your airline booking. Keep the original travel date and any revised flight notice together so that dispatch can distinguish an actual rebooking from a temporary estimated arrival adjustment.
Make the final request easy to verify
Before pressing submit, read the request as if you were receiving it: final arriving flight, local arrival date, passenger contact, party size, luggage and exact Davos destination. The address should identify where the road journey ends, even when your travel agent has already supplied a hotel name elsewhere. Save the resulting request reference. When the team replies, compare its itinerary against the audited information rather than assuming every field transferred correctly. A request becomes a reservation only after confirmation.
