#### A Day That Did Not Go as Planned
Lauren M., a marketing manager from Scottsdale, had been preparing for months for her company’s annual strategy presentation in London. She was flying out of Phoenix Sky Harbor to connect with a flight in Dallas. Timing was tight but manageable—or so she thought.
“I had booked another rideshare service that morning,” Lauren explained. “But 15 minutes before pickup, the driver canceled. The replacement wouldn’t arrive for another 25 minutes. My anxiety shot through the roof.”
Knowing any further delay meant missing a once-a-year opportunity, Lauren rapidly searched for alternatives and found Airport Shuttle of Phoenix.

#### One Call That Changed the Outcome
“I honestly didn’t expect anyone to be able to accommodate me with such short notice,” Lauren said. “But when I called Airport Shuttle of Phoenix, the first thing the agent said was, ‘We’ll figure it out. Let’s get you on that flight.’ I could have cried.”
Our dispatch team immediately realigned available drivers and prioritized the urgent pickup. Within 20 minutes, a clean, comfortable private SUV arrived at Lauren’s door.

#### Rapid Response and Skilled Navigation
Lauren’s flight left Terminal 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor at 11:35 AM. Our driver, Daniel, studied traffic updates in real time and chose an alternate route to avoid backups on the I-10 due to overnight construction.
“He was so calm and reassuring,” Lauren explained. “While I was rapidly refreshing my boarding pass and checking gate status, he reminded me to breathe, that we had time, and he’d get me there as fast and safely as possible.”
Daniel navigated the route masterfully, utilizing secondary routes and leveraging his knowledge of Sky Harbor’s fastest terminal drop-off points.

#### Cutting It Close… But Making It Through
Lauren arrived at Terminal 4 at 10:47 AM. With just under 50 minutes until takeoff, she ran directly to the TSA PreCheck line and got to her gate moments before boarding began.
“Sweat dripping, heart pounding—and eternally grateful,” Lauren laughs today. “If it wasn’t for Airport Shuttle of Phoenix, there’s no shot I would’ve made it.”
