Airport transfer

BAGS
Your driver watches the flight, so they are there when you land — even if you are delayed.
Airport transfers in Rodrigues, arranged before you land: tell us your flight, passengers and luggage, and a local driver meets you at Plaine Corail airport — officially Plaine Corail (RRG), still called Sir Gaétan Duval by the operator, and you will hear both — and takes you to Port Mathurin, your guest house or anywhere on the island. Book the ride back for your flight home at the same time as a return package.
