Plan your first hour after landing in Biarritz

Set up a Biarritz Airport pickup with room for baggage reclaim, staggered arrivals and the drive to your Basque coast address.

Identify the inbound leg

Send the flight number that lands at Biarritz and the local date. If guests arrive on more than one flight, make a list of who is on each. Decide whether the group should wait together or ask about two separate journeys. A shared landing time does not tell the desk whether people are using the same flight. If a board or pram needs separate reclaim, include it in the arrival plan and agree when the group will regroup.

Save one set of meeting instructions

Ask for an agreed public meeting point with a sign or other fixed reference. Store the words and a screenshot on the organiser’s phone. Make sure another traveller can open them if the organiser is still waiting for baggage. Check the airport's current access information before travelling and make changes through one contact. When an instruction changes, send the new point to the whole party before anybody starts walking with equipment.

Discuss this part of your itinerary

Include your date and the details you have confirmed so far.

Send the coast address with the gear list

For Biarritz, Anglet or Bidart, a property may advertise a beach or a neighbourhood. Add a street number and ask for the nearest confirmed vehicle approach. If the group needs to visit a key office or unload long bags separately, write out each stop. A large board bag has its own dimensions, so list it separately from cases. Send a headcount and identify any passenger who is meeting you away from the airport.

Make a plan for late baggage or a revised landing

Tell the host when the flight or key collection changes. Send the desk the current flight estimate and note whether you are still waiting at reclaim. If part of the group wants to leave first, state the split and which bags need to go with them. Keep a contact number that works after landing. Wait for the desk to confirm the revised arrangement before treating a proposed change as part of the journey.
