English term

arranging airport transportation

English to Chinese Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Tipping conventions
When it comes to the hotel concierge, give $3 to $5 for a basic service, such as {arranging airport transportation}. If the concierge fulfills a more difficult request, like getting you a last-minute 8 p.m. table at a restaurant that is typically booked weeks in advance, it's not uncommon to shell out $20 and up.
是不是“预订机票”的意思?

问题又来了:到底是游客自己坐飞机出行?还是游客让hotel concierge安排空运、以便送货?

安排送机车辆

airport transportation不同于air transportation,前者是指怎么去机场,以及到机场后如何到预定的宾馆或其它目的地。从此处上下文来看,更多的是指送机,如按时给你定好出租车或其它运输方式等,这样你就不必自己去等出租车了。

补充一下,上面说的“以及到机场后如何.....”指的是乘机到达机场后如何去宾馆或其它目的地,不是说送到机场去乘机时的“到机场后”。

agree Adsion Liu : 看上下文应该是这个意思,特别是hotel concierge,这个职位的人一般是不安排空运的,而是为宾馆客人去机场方便而帮助安排去机场的交通。还有,看给的钱数,也不像是要安排空运。:-)
