Prepare your Recife journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport (REC) or Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport (JPA), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Recife hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- Separate the longer travel stages: The geographic references put Maceió (about 202 km) and Fortaleza (about 630 km) from Recife in a straight line. Choose how the group travels between those cities before requesting each local pickup; a flight or rail stage and a full road itinerary need different transport briefs.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.
