Pickup details

Fixed pick-up and drop-off schedule between the airport and the city As for Lhasa Gongar airport is 70km from the downtown, it is hard for us to arrange free shuttle service at any given time. Tibet Vista can only offer free shuttle service to pick up/drop off tourists between hotels and Gongga airport twice a day at a designated time. Some of the tourists may have to wait for others for a longtime beyond our designated time, and we advise our clients could book the flights to match our shuttle service time and rules goes as follows: The free airport pick-up time is as follows on the day the itinerary begins: From airport to hotel, Fixed departure: Pick up tourists at 10:00 am, 13:00 pm, 16:00 pm and 18:30pm The free airport drop time is as follows on the day the itinerary closes: From hotel to airport, Fixed departure, Pick up tourists at 06:30 am; 08:00 am; 12:00 pm If tourists’ picking-up/dropping-off time is beyond our fixed schedule, they are required to pay private transfer from 60USD/car. If passengers are less than 3 pax transfer, we may use publish transportation like public airport bus or Taxi instead of using our shuttle service.
