# What happens if my flight is delayed or arrives earlier than scheduled?

**Short answer:** The pickup moves with your actual landing, at no extra charge.

If your flight is delayed or lands early, nothing is lost: Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels tracks the flight and moves the driver's pickup to your actual landing time, at no extra charge. You are not billed for a car waiting from the original schedule. If the flight is cancelled or you are rebooked, send us the new flight number and we re-plan.

## Key facts: delays and early landings

| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Delayed flight | Pickup moves to the actual landing time |
| Early landing | The driver plans for the earlier time |
| Charge for a delay | None |
| Waiting after landing | First 30 minutes free, then ₹100 an hour |
| Cancelled flight | Send the new flight number; we re-plan the pickup |
| Departure rescheduled | Send the new departure time; we move the drop pickup |
| How we know | Flight tracking on every airport booking |
| Hours | 24/7, including late-night landings |

## What happens in each case?

Most changes need nothing from you, because the flight is tracked. Only a cancellation or a switch to another flight needs a message from you, since the flight number changes.

| Situation | What we do | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Flight delayed | Move the pickup to the new landing time | Nothing |
| Flight lands early | Plan the driver for the earlier time | Nothing |
| Delay pushes landing after 10 PM | Pickup goes ahead at the new time | Note: the 20% night charge applies to night driving |
| Flight cancelled, rebooked on another flight | Track the new flight | Send us the new flight number |
| Trip cancelled altogether | Cancel the pickup | Tell us; cancelling is free up to 8 hours before pickup |

## What if the flight is diverted to another airport?

Call or WhatsApp us as soon as you know. If you then travel to Ahmedabad on a later flight, send the new flight number; if you land at another city and want us to collect you there, we quote the trip before the car leaves.

Charges apply only once a car has left the garage for your pickup, so letting us know early keeps costs down.

## What if your departure flight is rescheduled?

Send us the new departure time and we move the pickup so you still reach the terminal with time for check-in. If it moves by a day, we rebook the car for the new date.
