The first transfer after landing is the highest-friction part of many trips. If it fails, check-in timing, meal plans, and recovery windows all start under pressure.

Map Risk by Scenario

Build separate transfer plans for peak traffic, late arrivals, and public-transport disruptions. Include a preselected fallback mode to avoid decision fatigue.

Connect Transfer Choice to Hotel Zone

A cheaper hotel can become expensive if arrival access is unreliable. Transfer difficulty should be part of accommodation scoring from day zero.
