Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Hotel driver meets you at arrivals against your flight number, straight to the hotel door.
- Precision
- A small terminal; the driver waits outside arrivals (field-verify). The road to the city is long and slow at rush hour and in rain.
- Late-night threshold
- 22:00
