Key takeaways
Choosing flight windows
Recommend arrival at least early enough to absorb common delays and attend required events. Offer more than one airport or schedule when practical and explain ground-transfer plans.
Group contracts and guest flexibility
A group agreement may help coordinate deadlines, but guests may prefer different origins, dates, or cabins. Track who is inside and outside the group arrangement.
Attire, gifts, and event items
Important attire and irreplaceable items should remain in cabin baggage when airline rules allow. Check garment, oversized, fragile, and customs requirements.
