Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Your hotel's or a named operator's driver meets you outside arrivals; do not count on finding a taxi or an app.
- Precision
- Douglas–Charles is a small airport on the north-east coast with one terminal; drivers wait outside arrivals (field-verify). Scheduled flights arrive by day; the timings here also model a delayed landing.
- Late-night threshold
- 18:00
