Airport surprise

[Alicemon]

My bf has been away for 3 weeks, first with his family then with friends. He is arriving at 4am with his friends.
I am thinking on surprising him at the airport. However, I would have to pick him up by train as I don’t drive.
Will I look silly by surprising someone at 4am and picking up by train? Or do you think it will be a nice surprise? I am also aware his friends will be there so not sure if it will a bit odd?
Any advice will be really appreciated! I am so confused.

I wouldn’t no, as you said you’re not really picking him up as it’s via train plus his friends will be there and might also be catching the train back?

nothing wrong with the train idea but his friends will be there… so no i wouldn’t as they may have made plans

unless you know his friends and can contact them?
is this a new relationship?

I wouldn't simply because they will have there plans in place of how they are getting back home, have there luggage,could be tired etc etc

Friends might have arranged transport so no I wouldn't.

post flight after an extended trip away
with friends

no, i wouldn’t Op. Might be different if you were planning on driving him (and his friends back) but not to accompany him and his friends on the train, no

I wouldn't bother. You don't know if his flight might be delayed or how long it will take to get through passport control and collect bags. I suspect you will just have a cold and weary wait. He will probably be tired and just wanting to get right home to his bed without having to chat. Save your reunion for when he is home and rested.

No I wouldn't if he's with friends.

No, stay in bed!

Nooooooo! You won’t be picking him up, you’ll be accompanying him home. This ‘surprise’ wil be more for you than him. Stay in bed and give him the opportunity to gather himself.

I think it's a bad idea. He will be tired and with friends and it might make things awkward. You may then feel upset that you have made an effort that is not appreciated. He will probably want to zone out on the train and then crash at home. I would stay in bed and see him later in the day.

No, don't do it. I think it would come across as odd and be awkward if he's with friends.

He's going to be tired and just want to get home. It's not like you'll be able to take him home in a nice warm car.

Thank you so much for all your advice, really appreciate it! I think you are all right. I will stay at home and prepare a nice welcome surprise at home instead!
