Some flaws

Groups shouldn’t have a limit because people can just take an xl or split amongst multiple cars if many people are flying in at the same time, you should be able to join multiple groups in case you have multiple flights in a short window of time (i.e. thanksgiving break), you should be able to change the pickup time of a group after it’s made in case of flight delays
