    What’s the difference between Airport Transfer and Meet & Greet?

    Airport Transfer is a car and driver waiting for you outside arrivals. Meet & Greet is a personal assistant inside the airport who meets you at the gate and escorts you through passports and baggage. You can combine both in one booking.

    Is the price per car or per passenger?

    The price is for the whole car regardless of passengers within its capacity — choose the vehicle class that fits your group and luggage.

    What if my flight is cancelled?

    You can cancel per the policy shown at booking; eligible refunds are returned automatically to your payment method.

    Airport Meet & Greet Service

    Service details

    Where exactly does the assistant meet me?

    On arrival: at the aircraft gate/jet bridge before passport control. On departure: at the terminal entrance at the agreed time.

    Is pricing per person or per group?

    Pricing is per passenger and is shown in full before you confirm. Children aged 6 and under are free.

    Why does it need 24 hours’ notice?

    Because the assistant’s access to airport zones requires permits arranged in advance with airport authorities.
