Imagine: You’ve been dreaming of your family vacation for months—and the day of departure is finally here! You land at your destination, lug all your bags through the airport, and start your vacation with …
… an impossibly long Customs & Immigration line. The kids are begging for a bathroom break and on the verge of a full-on public meltdown, you’re desperately trying to connect to the airport wifi to check the status of the car you booked (since the pick up time you requested has long since passed), and you’re juggling all your family’s carry on bags and passports while fighting off a mean bout of jet lag.
That stress-relieving vacation you’ve been yearning for is off to the most stressful start imaginable. Yikes. Not to mention, you’re wasting valuable vacation time stuck at the airport—instead of splashing in the resort’s pool, enjoying a welcome drink on your private terrace, or shaking off your plane legs with a stroll through your destination’s charming old town.
If you’ve spent any time traveling internationally recently, you know how chaotic the airport arrival experience can be (when I traveled to Mexico with my two- and five-year-old on a recent trip, we spent more than an hour getting through the immigration line—not fun!). Luckily, there is a way to bypass this exasperating experience: by opting for an airport VIP greeting service.
Here’s how it works:
As soon as your family walks off the plane, a representative will be there to greet you and whisk you off to Customs & Immigration. You’ll be able to bypass the main lines and enjoy an expedited service, guided by your VIP rep. They may even be able to coordinate directly with your private transportation, ensuring you get to your ride swiftly and smoothly.
I have exclusive partners offering this kind of expedited airport arrival service in most major destinations across the globe—and I think it’s a no-brainer investment for your family vacation, for a couple of reasons:
- It starts your vacation off on the right foot, setting the tone for the rest of your experience—you’ll arrive at your property happy and stress-free, instead of cranky and tired.
- Many of my clients not only want to go on vacation to spend more quality time together; they also want the opportunity to “turn their brains off” and enjoy life on easy mode for a bit. A service like this allows you to do just that. Instead of having to navigate a foreign airport and confusing immigration process on your own, you let your VIP rep guide you through it all.
- It gives you back more of your most precious vacation asset—your time. Start your vacation together sooner!
I recommend a service like this especially for a family vacation, since traveling with kids is inherently more stressful—and wee ones generally have even less patience for long lines after a long flight!
What it costs:
The cost of a service like this will vary depending on your destination airport and the number of people in your party. For reference, a VIP airport arrival service would cost approximately $X for a family of four at the Cancun International Airport.
