Pick up service at the airport, to the hotel, needs to be more flexible! My flight arrive on time and their pick as per their new hours I would have had to wait for 2 hours before they would show up. Had to take a taxi to the hotel and pay for it. Also their service from the hotel to the airport was changed and had to get up an hour earlier to be able to use their service. According to them the "new administration changed the service hours".
