Sometimes the size of the check is less important. Personally, I will not tip less than $5 for a meal regardless of the check. This usually comes up at breakfast which just might cost less than $25. Someone working to take my order, fill my coffee, bring my meal, and ask if everything came out okay deserves at least $5.
Similarly, for a drink at a bar or a cup of coffee I will likely leave $1 or $1.50 per drink for the effort involved. I have a little trouble in bars that charge $12 for a beer but I try to avoid those venues anyway.
I haven't taken many rides from the airport but I would probably consider tipping around $10/person.
