Before you land at Lille-Lesquin

Write the flight number, local landing date and scheduled arrival on a single line. The airport on this plan is Lille-Lesquin. If a traveller is coming by rail or flying to a different airport, give them their own line rather than assuming everyone is following the same itinerary. Think about who will reply if the flight is changed, and share that person's number with the group. A flight code and date are more useful for an enquiry than a description of where the journey began.

Find the relevant door or station in Lille Airport to City Centre.

Allow for getting off the aircraft, collecting bags and reaching the agreed point. If one traveller has a case going to a separate belt, decide where the group will meet inside first. Ask for the pickup landmark and whether you should wait inside or walk outside. Save the instructions before leaving home. If you need a different waiting area because of a mobility or luggage need, tell the desk in advance rather than trying to change it while the group is moving.

Check the timetable handoff against Lille Airport to Lille Europe.

A Lille city address calls for a building and door. A rail itinerary calls for the station exactly as it appears on the ticket: Lille Europe or Lille Flandres. Add the train service and leave enough room to walk from the street to the platform or other required check-in point. If your party is meeting a second group in town, decide whether everyone will meet at the destination or whether you want to ask for an extra stop. Include the sequence in the request.

For an alternative leg of the journey, see Lille Airport to Lille Flandres.

Keep the flight, date, group count, baggage and destination next to the agreed meeting instructions. Give someone else a copy before departure. If you have to make a change, use the note to explain which part no longer works.

If a companion has rail plans while others go into Lille, agree whether the group should separate at the airport or at a confirmed street stop. Put both endpoints in the request only if you actually want two stops.
