    1. Driver's license
    2. Directions to the airport
    3. Learn to recognize the target's face

    That's the whole thing

    If it's anything like LAX, get the crowbar ready for some road rage.

    Have you driven before? Have you been to the airport before?

    If yes to both, combine your knowledge to accomplish your task.

    I've driven nails and a few screws. Closest I ever got to an airport was watching Die Hard II.

    You forgot actually having a car (unless the target is supplying it.)

    Just. Stop thinking. Go completely blank in the head as you drive. It helps.

    Trust me.

    Can't tell if that last part is part of the joke or not. Is the issue that you've actually never flown?

    what exactly is the problem? locating the airport? or are you wondering if the driving itself is technically different when you drive towards an airport, compared to a store or your workplace?

    As long as you're not picking somebody up from LaGuardia. There's no way to prepare yourself for that.

    Remember to let them get their luggage out of the car before you go, don't drive away with it. Also don't just pull up and drop them off. Put it in park, get out, give them a hug.

    Pretend you're playing Super Mario Kart. It works for me.

    Coordinate what time you are leaving beforehand. Be sure to apologize for missing your alarm, and reassure the passenger that 15 minutes is plenty of time to get through security and board before the flight leaves, and, no, running behind a timeline is no excuse to exceed the speed limit and break the law. Also let them know that you're sure the airline has plenty of flights to the same destination, and they'll definitely understand if you're running a little bit late. Let the passenger know that they're being very unreasonable, and there's no need to shout, and that, actually, you're not completely useless just because you were not on time this once, and that, actually, if they'll remember THEY were late to that movie you were going to see a few months ago, and that's basically the same thing.

    There are some big assumptions here that Jesse knows the person he is taking to the airport.
