Where do we meet the tour group?
What time does the airport transfer leave?
How much luggage can we bring?
Which hotel are we staying at first?
What time does the first activity start?
Who do we contact if our flight is delayed?

Not every pre-departure question is routine.
A traveler may say:
Our flight changed. Will the transfer still work?
We are arriving a day early.
One traveler cannot make the first activity.
We need help with a special arrangement.
These requests may need an advisor or operations team.
The conversation can preserve the booked-trip context and hand the request to staff without making the traveler repeat the itinerary details.
