Travelling with Chronic Fatigue or Pain
Updated 3 min read
When chronic fatigue or pain is part of your everyday reality, the arrivals hall after a long flight is exactly the kind of environment that costs you the most — walking, standing, waiting, carrying. The transfer itself doesn't have to add to that if it's planned with your actual energy budget in mind, rather than treated as an afterthought once you've already landed.
The core idea is simple: tell us what would help before you fly, so the plan is already in place by the time you're standing in arrivals.

What's worth noting before you fly
If a shorter walk to the car, more time to get settled, or help with a bag would genuinely help, put it in the booking notes. Being specific is more useful than a general mention — "I'll need a bit longer getting from the terminal to the car and would appreciate help with luggage" gives the driver something concrete to work with.
The waiting window works in your favour
Every pickup includes free waiting time, counted from when the driver confirms arrival, and on an airport pickup the timing follows your flight's actual landing rather than a fixed clock time — so a slow walk through arrivals after a long-haul flight isn't something you need to rush to beat a countdown. That margin exists for exactly this kind of situation.
Minimising effort from door to seat
- Note ahead of time if you'd like help with luggage from the terminal to the car
- Say if you need a slower pace or a moment to rest before getting in
- If a specific pickup point within arrivals would be easier for you, mention it — we can't guarantee every request, but it's read and considered
Planning the rest of the day around your energy
If the transfer is the first leg of a longer travel day, it's worth being realistic about what comes after it too — a fixed pickup time means you're not spending energy deciding how to get from the airport, which leaves more in reserve for whatever's next, whether that's checking into a hotel or a meeting later that day.
The same applies on the way back to the airport: booking the departure leg in advance, with a pickup time that doesn't demand rushing, is one more decision made ahead of time rather than on a day when energy is already limited.

Questions people ask before booking
Can I ask for help carrying my bags to the car?
Yes — mention it in your booking notes so the driver knows in advance rather than working it out at the kerb.
Will I be rushed if I walk slowly through arrivals?
No — the pickup time follows your flight's actual landing, and there's free waiting built into every pickup, so a slower walk through the terminal isn't a problem.
How specific should my notes be?
As specific as you're comfortable with. A concrete note — what kind of help, roughly how much extra time — is easier for a driver to act on than a general mention.
Does requesting help cost extra?
No — the fixed price shown before you book is for the ride itself; there's no separate charge for reasonable notes about your needs.
Can someone else book on my behalf and add the notes for me?
Yes — a companion or family member can make the booking and add your notes, so you're not the one having to type everything out yourself on a difficult day.
