Arrival waves for wedding and group guests
When many guests land on different flights, we run arrival waves from Malpensa: a vehicle leaves when it is full or after a set waiting time, and the schedule is shared with the planner. That works better than individual taxis, keeps the lake roads uncongested and puts everyone at the venue when the timeline needs them.
Which vehicle?
We match the vehicle to your group and luggage: a sedan for up to 3 passengers, a van for up to 7, a minibus for larger groups. Tell us how many large suitcases you have and we will size it properly.
