Airport arrival
World Cup 2026 airport arrival checklist
The first 90 minutes after landing decide whether the rest of the day feels calm or chaotic. Use this checklist before you chase the cheapest ride.
First 90 minutes
| Minute | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 0-15 | Turn on eSIM or roaming | Maps and rideshare need data |
| 15-30 | Confirm hotel address and check-in time | Many mistakes happen at similar hotel names |
| 30-45 | Compare rail, official taxi, rideshare and shuttle | The best option changes by city and luggage |
| 45-90 | Message your group and save offline route | Arrivals can split groups fast |
Do not leave the airport until these are done
- Your phone has working data outside airport Wi-Fi.
- You have the hotel address in English and local format when relevant.
- You know whether your next match ticket is accessible offline or inside an app.
- You have a backup route if rideshare prices surge.
