I am translating a trip schedule for a group of Japanese people coming to
visit my country. I translated "pick-up from the airport" as "空港へのお出迎え", but I
think お出迎え can only be used when you greet someone the first time they have
just arrived in a place. I don't think it can be used to translate "pick-up
from the hotel" for a later moment. Is ピックアップ understandable by Japanese
people? Also, I need a noun and not a verb, since the schedule is written as a
list, something like this:

> 09:00 Pick-up from the airport
>
> 18:00 Pick-up from the hotel

Thank you for your help!

translation nouns
How can I say "pick-up from the hotel"?
I think you had better not use a word ピックアップ because it is not a common word
in Japan.

I think お出迎え is appropriate, and I want to change it a little like 空港までお出迎え.

Another phrase I think of is 空港まで送迎車を手配, but it is a little businesslike.

I think Yuuichi's answer is good. Just want to add that maybe you also want to
have a look at 迎{むか}えに行く・迎えに来る. It's probably less formal than お出迎え so it
depends on the situation. Anyway, 迎{むか}えに行く is quite good to know. For
example:

> 私は空港に彼を迎えに行きます。 I will go pick him up at the airport.
>
> 明日の朝私を迎えに来るのを忘れないでね。 Don't forget to pick me up tomorrow morning.

The answer ends here, the following is just a side note. I will put it in
italic just to underline it is somehow unrelated to the actual answer. It is
just a remark born out of your attempt of using ピックアップ.

_In general, I strongly advocate against trying to "katakanize" everything
when we do not know a word. Chances are there are perfectly fine native
Japanese words that we simply don't know. This is just my opinion but I am
very much against the modern tendency of abusing loan words in Japanese._
