The rich and famous are different from us. From the admiration of art to the love for luxury items, they stand out in every way. They take more extensive, better, more expensive trips, but this doesn’t come as a huge surprise. For the wealthy, it’s not enough to pick up a copy of Lonely Planet and try to come up with an itinerary. Before they set off, the perfect trip is planned. When flying, the rich and famous use a special terminal that’s less congested. Private travellers enjoy an experience as luxurious as the jet on which they fly. In case you didn’t know, you don’t have to fly premium to get a first-class airport experience. 

Airport VIP services no longer elude people like you and me. Suppose you want to receive the royal treatment, no problem. Airport VIP services can be booked by any passenger, and they’re available for arrivals, departures, and flight transfers. But they come at a high cost. Anyway, there’s a trend towards making anyone’s time more pleasant at any airport. More and more companies offer stress-free airport experiences with expedited assistance. If you’re pressed by time and waiting in line drives you crazy, the VIP service is for you. You can book online, by phone, or through a travel agent. 

Are airport VIP services worth the splurge? Why, yes! 

Airport VIP services are exclusive services in connection with their airports and their operation, once used by the wealthy and business executives. They’re similar to the services offered by concierge companies and include meet and greet, luggage assistance, and help through security checks, to name a few. All you have to do is hand in your passport at the welcome desk and be on your way. You feel like a VIP. It doesn’t matter if you’re the knight of the road or a parent travelling with kids. It’s just that you have to dip deep into your pocket. The question now is: Are the perks worth the cash? We’d say yes. 

With a VIP service, you can sit back and relax. You can relax and escape the stress of the terminal. Splurging for the highest level of service means riding to the plane in a limousine and entering a private suite in the airport terminal. You can enjoy complimentary amenities such as a top-shelf bar, exquisite food, and an office. Airports have become a stressful environment, and there are ways to make them friendlier. People are now willing to pay up to sweeten the travelling experience. Why not add a little bit of extra comfort to your trip? It’s a worthwhile investment for your hard-earned vacation. When you’re jet-lagged, there’s nothing better than to see someone holding a sign with your name on it outside customs. 

Services you can use to make better use of your time in the airport

  • Meet and greet service. Some airport lines are unavoidable, while others can be shortened or skipped entirely. This is where the escort service comes in. You can fast-track your way through security, customs and immigration. What is more, the personal assistant (greeter) carries your luggage and helps process any VAT refunds. They can even help arrange transportation and reach out to a driver for curb-side pick-up. It’s absolutely not necessary to have this kind of service, but you’ll want it. If you have an unlimited budget, you shouldn’t be afraid to spend it. Travelling puts a lot of wear and tear on your body, so you should take an interest in anything that allows you to use less energy.
  • VIP terminal service. This service offers travellers the most luxurious travel amenities, such as access to a private lounge. It’s a quiet place where you can work, unwind, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the airport terminal. The facility is equipped with numerous premium features, such as en-suite massages, a private spa, and even an outdoor playground. It’s a luxury that not everyone gets to experience. There are fewer people and fewer distractions. The lounge offers you a secluded gateway from the crowd. You enjoy greater choice irrespective of your ticket. It’s wise to make your trip free of all hassles.
  • If you’d like a fly-along companion, you’re on your own. Don’t worry, you can enjoy first class travel with VIP escorts. An elite travel companion will escort you on your holiday, accompany you to luxury parties, and take part in your business trip. If you’re looking for something to do at night-time, they’ll show you around. Discreet company can be arranged to make sure you’re never alone when you need a date. You can reserve the service online one week before your trip. When spending money and time to travel, you’ll want to maximise your journey. Having a companion can make this time more enjoyable. 

The VIP experience – a solution to help airlines and airports maximise ancillary revenues 

After two years, international passenger flights have resumed. At this point in time, it’s necessary to focus on identifying new ways to increase revenue streams. Offering a VIP experience can be the saviour of airlines and airports and open up a wealth opportunity. Traditional categories of revenue such as retail, car parking, and property are facing their own pressures. It’s essential to create a differentiated passenger experience – in other words, to take away the pain points of the airport experience. VIP services can generate an impressive amount of money per year. Bespoke services play an important role in the local economy. 

London’s Heathrow Airport is a prime example. A great many businesses have launched high-end services for passengers over the years. Travelling becomes the most pleasant of experiences. You’re waited on hand and foot by someone who’s at your beck and call until the flight is ready to depart. Anyone can enjoy the VIP experience as long as they can afford it. It’s expected that the VIP proposition will continue to evolve, so we’ll see a wider variety of specific products and services to meet the demand.
