Learn English – “I was going to” expression. How to use it correctly

expressionsfuture-in-pastgrammarwill-be-going

I was going to pick you tomorrow from the airport (not a big deal to me,
really), but remembered that tomorrow I'll be teaching the class, which ends at
8.

in above example, I am trying to say that earlier I planned to pick you up (tomorrow), but now I remember that I have prior commitments tomorrow, and hence can longer do it.

What's the best way to say something like this and use I was going expression.

It sounds fine the way you have it (except for the "pick you up tomorrow" part). I guess you could change it to

I had planned to pick you up tomorrow […].

and it sounds a little more formal.
