How do I sync turnover timing to flight arrivals near ATL?

Use flight status changes as triggers. Confirm checkout time, set your buffer, then adjust dispatch when the guest flight shows on time, delayed, early, or landed. The goal is to finish cleaning before the guest can physically arrive, not before the scheduled arrival time.

What do I say when a guest requests an early check in?

Approve early check in only after the proof pack is complete. If the unit is not ready, offer luggage drop, a confirmed update time, and a clear rule that access codes will not be released until cleaning and inspection are finished.

How big should my buffer be for East Point and the ATL corridor?

Build buffer for traffic variability, baggage claim time, and rideshare variability. Treat early arrivals as real risk. Use at least one decision checkpoint two to three hours before guest arrival signals so you can accelerate, split tasks, or stage a partial release plan.

What proof photos should I capture for every turnover?

Capture a consistent set, entry, living area, kitchen counters and sink, inside fridge, inside microwave, each bathroom vanity and shower, each bed made, floors, and a final thermostat and welcome staging photo. This supports dispute defense and quality consistency.

Can I dispatch cleaners before I know the flight status?

Yes, treat cleaning as a controlled baseline. Dispatch to start immediately after checkout, then use flight status to decide whether to accelerate, add a second cleaner, or keep the standard pace. The flight should modify the plan, it should not replace the plan.

Flight Tracked Airbnb Turnover Checklist, East Point GA 30344

Quick checklist, lock the window first ✅

If you do not lock the real window, cleaning becomes guessing. This checklist converts your turnover into a controlled operation that survives delays, early arrivals, and early check in requests.

Window control

1 Confirm checkout time, cleaning start time, and the earliest time a guest could physically reach East Point from ATL after landing.
2 Set a buffer rule that you will not violate, then communicate it to guests, co hosts, and cleaners.
3 Pick your flight status source and capture the flight number in your guest intake, only if the guest volunteers it.
4 Define early check in gatekeeping, no access code release until proof photos are complete and a final inspection passes.
5 Assign a single owner of the window, one person decides dispatch changes, not three people texting the cleaner.

Unit readiness and standards

6 Backup linens and towels on site, at least one full set beyond max occupancy needs.
7 Smart lock code rotation policy, new code generated per stay, time limited if your lock supports it.
8 Restock par levels defined, cleaner refills to par, host audits weekly.
9 Proof pack required, a consistent photo set every turnover, stored by date.
10 Maintenance quick hits prechecked, HVAC filter status, drain flow, light bulbs, Wi Fi, remote batteries.

Flight tracking runbook, triggers that change your plan 📡

Flights change, guests change, and traffic changes. Your goal is to react early, with a strict set of triggers. Treat this as a control board, if a trigger occurs, you execute the associated action without debate.

Definitions you will use

Earliest physical arrival, a realistic earliest time the guest could show up at the unit after landing at ATL, clearing the plane, and reaching East Point.
Proof pack complete, cleaning finished, inspection passed, photos captured and uploaded to your host folder.
Access release, the moment you send door code, lockbox code, or entry instructions.

Flight status trigger	What it implies	Action you take
On time	Guest arrival risk is standard.	Run baseline cleaning plan, keep buffer, do not release access until proof pack complete.
Delayed by 60 minutes or more	You gain time, but expectations rise.	Upgrade finishing details, add fridge check, double towel audit, and send a proactive update message.
Early by 30 minutes or more	Early check in requests increase.	Accelerate, split tasks, or add a second cleaner, protect bathrooms and beds first, then finalize floors last.
Landed	Clock is now real, rideshare begins soon.	Do not promise early check in unless proof pack is already complete. Send a time bounded update.
Connection missed or major disruption	Arrival time becomes uncertain.	Maintain checkout to check in plan, keep property secure, and avoid long open windows that expose you to theft or unauthorized entry.

Dispatch rule that works

Clean immediately after checkout whenever possible, then use flight status to decide whether to accelerate or upgrade detailing. Flight tracking should modify your plan, it should not replace your plan.

Protect bathrooms first

If a guest arrives early, bathrooms must already be guest ready.

Then beds and linens

A made bed signals cleanliness, and prevents emergency scramble.

Floors last

Avoid rework, finish floors when traffic is done.

Early check in control, a decision tree that protects you ⏱️

Early check in can be a review win, or a cleanliness failure that creates a claim. The key is gating. You can be helpful without releasing access until you have proof pack completion.

Decision sequence

Is proof pack complete, yes or no.
If no, is bathroom and bed readiness complete, yes or no.
If still no, offer luggage drop only, or offer a confirmed update time, not access.
If yes, approve early check in, then release access, then send a short welcome.

What you never do

ADo not release access codes before inspection and proof photos are complete.
BDo not promise a time you cannot defend, use a window, then confirm when ready.
CDo not let a guest enter while cleaners are still working, unless you have a preapproved, documented, and controlled exception.

Cleaning sequence, fast and repeatable 🧼

Speed without sequence creates rework. Use the same order every time, and the unit will look consistent even when the window compresses.

Standard order

Bathrooms

Remove trash, strip used towels, reset mats
Toilet, sink, mirror, then shower and tub
Polish fixtures, restock TP, soap, and towels

Kitchen

Countertops and sink sanitized
Fridge check, microwave inside and out
Stovetop and handles, trash reset, restock pods

Bedrooms

Make beds, crisp corners, pillow alignment
Dust high touch points, nightstands, lamps
Check under bed, empty bins, reset closet look

Common areas and floors

Dust, wipe remotes, switches, door handles
Vacuum upholstery, straighten staging
Floors last, vacuum then mop, then final walk

Compressed window tactic

If early arrival risk rises, split the work into two lanes. One lane executes bathrooms and beds. The other lane executes kitchen and living areas. Merge for floors and final staging, then do proof photos.

Restock, staging, and proof pack 📷

Your turnover is not complete until you have restocked to par and captured proof photos. This is how you maintain five star consistency, and how you defend against cleanliness claims.

Restock matrix

These are baseline par targets. Adjust to your occupancy and your guest profile, but keep the format stable so cleaners do not guess.

Item	Location	Par target
Toilet paper	Bathrooms	2 to 3 spare rolls per bathroom
Paper towels	Kitchen	1 full roll plus 1 spare
Trash bags	Under sink	6 to 10 spare bags
Hand soap	Each sink	Full dispenser
Dish soap and sponge	Kitchen	Full soap, fresh sponge
Coffee and tea	Kitchen	Host standard kit, consistent every stay
Bathroom amenities	Shower and vanity	Host standard, refreshed and aligned

Proof photo pack

Capture the same photo set every time. Consistency matters more than artistry, this becomes your quality record and your dispute shield.

Minimum photo set

Entry, wide shot
Living room, wide shot
Kitchen counters and sink
Inside fridge, shelf view
Inside microwave
Each bathroom, vanity and mirror
Each shower or tub
Each bed made, wide shot
Floors, one representative shot
Thermostat and staging shot

File naming standard

Use one folder per turnover.

YYYY-MM-DD, Turnover 01 Entry 02 Living 03 Kitchen Counter 04 Fridge 05 Microwave 06 Bath 1 Vanity 07 Bath 1 Shower 08 Bed 1 09 Floors 10 Thermostat and Staging

If there is damage, add a separate folder named Damage, and include closeups plus one wide context shot.

Early check in request response

Thanks for asking. If the unit is ready early, I am happy to approve it. We confirm readiness after cleaning and a final inspection, then I will send access instructions immediately. I will update you by (time window) with a yes or no.

Flight delay proactive update

I see the updated flight timing. We are on track and using the extra time to detail and double check the unit. Standard check in is still (time). If anything changes, I will message you immediately.

The unit is ready. Here are your access instructions: (Code or lockbox details) (Entry notes) If you need anything during your stay, message me here and I will respond quickly. Enjoy.

FAQ ❓

These are the most common questions hosts ask when flights drive arrival behavior near ATL.

What if I do not know the guest flight number?

You still run the system. Use the baseline turnover plan, keep your buffer, and gate early check in. Flight tracking improves precision, but the control rules still protect you without it.

How do I reduce last minute pressure from early check in requests?

Set expectations in your check in message. Use a clear gate, you can request early check in, but it is confirmed only after cleaning, inspection, and proof photos are complete.

What is the fastest way to stabilize a messy unit when the window compresses?

Protect bathrooms and beds first, then stabilize kitchen counters and sink, then stage common areas. Floors and deep detailing come last. This prevents guest facing failures even if you finish under pressure.

Should I ever let a guest enter while cleaners are still working?

Avoid it. It increases liability and complaint risk. If you must make an exception, document it, limit access to staged areas only, and do not release full access until cleaning and inspection are complete.

How do I keep cleaners from getting whiplash from dispatch changes?

Use trigger based decisions, one owner of the window, and a clear baseline schedule. Flight changes modify the plan only when they cross your trigger thresholds, so cleaners do not react to every minor update.
