What are airport Meet & Greet services and by whom are they performed?

Airport Meet & Greet services are the smartest way to receive assistance all the way through airport procedures. They can be offered to passengers travelling alone or in groups and are performed by fully badged and authorized airport agents who meet the passengers at a previously established spot and guide them through the airport.

Will your airport Meet & Greet service allow me to skip the queues?

At most airports we are able to expedite you through arrival or departure formalities, meaning that you will process these formalities in separate channels or in a quicker fashion to avoid long queues. At some airports this cannot be guaranteed due to local Customs restrictions, although experience shows that being escorted by an expert local assistant significantly speeds up the clearance of airport formalities.

Is your airport Meet & Greet service conducted in compliance with the latest COVID-19 regulations?

We are aware of the delicate situation the world is facing and we ensure that assistants engaged in airport Meet & Greet services wear masks and gloves, carry hand sanitizer, avoid unnecessary contact and comply with all latest COVID-19 safety regulations. The same applies to the chauffeur services which we arrange in addition to airport Meet & Greet services.

Which passengers are airport Meet & Greet services designed for?

By being assistance-oriented, airport Meet & Greet services are originally meant for unexperienced senior or young travellers, as well as for families with children. On the other hand, services entailing expedited clearance of airport procedures or usage of VIP facilities are becoming increasingly popular among those travellers who value their time and discretion, especially businesspeople and VIPs. In this regard, our company takes pride in being able to cater to the needs of any traveller.

Are your airport Meet & Greet services provided only to Business or First Class passengers?

No. Airport Meet & Greet services can be provided to any passenger, regardless of the flight class.

Are your services included in my Priority Pass / Dragonpass membership?

At this moment our services are not included in Priority Pass or Dragonpass memberships and must be booked separately.

Why doesn’t your network include any US airport?

The restrictions and security protocols currently enforced at US airports do not allow any Meet & Greet service to be conducted with the due continuity, quality and safety. For this reason, we have temporarily removed this country’s locations from our network.

Where does the airport assistant meet the passengers?

For arrival services passengers are met at the arrival gate, near the end of the jet bridge, a few meters away from the plane door. In case of remote parking position, passengers are transferred from the plane to the terminal on an airport tarmac bus and the assistant meets them as they get off the bus or once they step into the terminal. For departure services the meeting takes place kerbside, at the entrance of the terminal or at the check-in desk, after prior arrangement with the passengers’ driver or the passengers themselves.

How will I recognise the airport assistant?

The airport assistant will hold a welcome board to make sure you are able to spot him.

What name or sign will there be on the assistant’s welcome board?

The content of the welcome board used for Meet & Greet services can typically be personalized according to your preferences. It can display the full name of one or more passengers, an alias or a company logo. If we don’t receive any specific indication from you in this regard upon your booking, we will have the assistant use the name of the lead passenger (the first one on the passengers list you provide us).

Can you arrange for an airport assistant speaking a particular language?

Universally speaking, all airport assistants performing Meet & Greet services speak English as well as the language of the country where they operate. It is, unfortunately, not possible to guarantee an assistant with a knowledge of further languages. However, please rest assured that all airport assistants we dispatch
have remarkable experience in dealing with strangers and are perfectly able to perform services without much talking with the passengers.

Can you arrange for porter services to assist with the luggage?

We can definitely arrange for porter services to be provided in addition to Meet & Greet services. They can be provided for arrivals, departures and even transits, should passengers need to collect their bags upon arrival and recheck them for their departure.

Can you provide wheelchairs or special assistance for impaired passengers?

It is typically the responsibility of the airlines to provide wheelchairs and special assistance to impaired passengers, hence it is imperative to make sure that any requirement in this regard is duly confirmed in the flight booking. Please note that the presence of an impaired passenger must be in any case communicated to us as it may lead to significant changes in the standard Meet & Greet service procedure.

I am a passenger who flies Economy on departure. Can you provide me with access to a lounge?

At most airports we are able to provide lounge access to Economy class passengers on a fee basis as an additional feature of departure Meet & Greet services. Please bear in mind, however, that lounge availability is limited and ultimately depends on those entities that manage the lounges, i.e. the airlines and the airport management. Of course, our reservation team will be able to verify availability and inform you at the moment of your enquiry.

Can you provide an electric buggy so that I don’t have to walk long distances inside the airport?

Electric buggies are equipment typically used inside the buildings of certain airports to transport impaired passengers. As such, their availability can never be guaranteed for Meet & Greet services, although we can try our best to provide one if requested at the moment of the booking.

Can you organise Meet & Greet services for large groups of passengers?

Meet & Greet services can typically be provided to large groups of passengers (more than 10). Please contact our reservation team to verify availability and receive a bespoke quotation.

Upon my request I have been asked to provide copies or data of the passengers’ passports. Why?

The airport Meet & Greet services that we arrange are conducted in the airports sterile (airside) areas and must comply with the applicable local security regulations. At times, airport authorities request to verify the details or the copies of the passengers’ passports in advance to allow a Meet & Greet service to take place, which is why we, in our turn, may ask our clients to provide them. In any case, we guarantee that all details provided by the client are solely used for the purposes of confirming the requested services and are not stored.
