Before a trip is proposed, the direct air carrier must confirm airport status and access, usable runway length and surface, aircraft performance, payload, weather, current notices, parking, fuel, customs when applicable, and handling for the requested date.
For a useful review, provide the passenger count, baggage, pets, accessibility needs, preferred schedule, and exact ground destination.
