A luxury airport transfer should remove uncertainty between the aircraft and the final address. Send REQUEST VIP the flight, terminal or FBO, passengers, luggage, destination and next fixed commitment. A curator requests a licensed local chauffeur, suitable vehicle and lawful meeting plan. Every transfer remains subject to operator availability and airport access.

Key Facts

  • Flight number, operating date, arrival terminal, passenger contact and exact destination are required before a reliable transfer can be confirmed.
  • “Meet and greet” may mean the arrivals hall, a designated curb, parking area or FBO reception; it does not automatically mean airside access.
  • Passenger and luggage capacity must be checked together, including child seats, skis, golf bags, mobility equipment and oversized cases.
  • REQUEST VIP coordinates the booking but is not the airport, airline, air operator or ground-transport carrier.

VIP Chauffeur Service

Choose the vehicle from the travelling party rather than the brand. One executive sedan may fit two passengers but not all of their cases. An SUV can offer easier entry, while a minivan or luggage vehicle may be necessary for a group. Ask the operator to confirm usable seats and bags for the exact model or category.

The chauffeur-driven luxury car service is appropriate when the vehicle should remain after the airport drop-off. A simple transfer ends at the confirmed address; further waiting or additional stops need to appear in the order. The parent luxury car rental service separately handles self-drive handover and deposit requirements.

Commercial terminal pickup

Provide the marketing and operating flight numbers when they differ, plus origin, scheduled arrival and passenger mobile. The meeting plan should name the terminal level, door or arrivals point, signage, driver contact-release time and a fallback if the guest and driver miss each other. “Outside arrivals” is usually too vague.

Agree how flight monitoring affects dispatch and waiting. Early arrival, diversion, cancellation, missed connection, immigration and baggage delay can lead to different outcomes. The confirmation should state included waiting, when the clock starts, the overtime unit, driver-duty limit and what happens when the flight changes to another airport.

Do not build an immediate hard appointment from a scheduled landing time. Immigration, baggage reclaim, walking distance and airport traffic vary. REQUEST VIP can coordinate the wider luxury transportation plan when several arrivals or vehicles must connect.

Private aviation and FBO transfers

For private aviation, identify the airport, FBO or handler, flight or tail reference where appropriate, passengers, crew contact and luggage. The FBO controls access. A chauffeur may meet in reception, a controlled landside point or another approved zone; ramp-side positioning requires explicit permission.

Connect the transfer to private jet charter only after both operators confirm timing and meeting details. Separate contracts do not create automatic through-protection. If an aircraft diverts, establish who may approve a replacement car, the new cost and the maximum dispatch radius.

An arrival with multiple vehicles needs passenger allocation, a lead contact and a luggage plan before landing. A large party should not discover at the FBO that all bags were expected to fit into ceremonial sedans.

Hotel, residence and onward delivery

Name the correct property entrance, tower, villa gate or office door. Confirm whether security requires a guest list, registration, vehicle plate or advance call. If the property cannot accept the vehicle, agree a nearby legal drop-off and assistance for bags or reduced mobility.

For an executive travel programme, show which appointment is fixed and which can move. For a leisure itinerary, do not add an unscheduled scenic stop without driver and passenger approval; it may change duty, mileage and arrival time.

Price and confirmation checklist

The quote should separate vehicle and driver, taxes, airport or parking fees, waiting, additional stops, tolls, night service, child seats, luggage vehicle, gratuity treatment and REQUEST VIP fees. It also needs cancellation, no-show, flight-change, replacement and complaint contacts.

Before payment, verify:

  1. Correct date, local time, flight, airport and terminal or FBO.
  2. Named operator, vehicle category, passengers and luggage.
  3. Exact meeting point, sign, contact and missed-meeting procedure.
  4. Flight monitoring, included waiting, overtime and duty limit.
  5. Destination, additional stops, total price and cancellation.

How It Works

  1. Send flight details, passengers, bags, accessibility needs, destination and next fixed time.
  2. REQUEST VIP confirms the airport process and asks licensed operators for a suitable vehicle and chauffeur.
  3. Review meeting point, capacity, waiting, flight-change rules, price and cancellation in writing.
  4. After confirmation, the concierge shares driver details at the agreed time and coordinates authorised updates.

FAQ

Will the driver wait inside the terminal?

Only if the airport and operator allow it and the confirmation names that meeting point. Some airports require a curb, car park, reception or other controlled area.

Is flight tracking included?

It must be stated in the order. Provide the flight number and agree how early arrival, delay, diversion and cancellation affect dispatch and price.

How much waiting time is included?

No universal allowance is verified. The quote should state , when time starts, overtime unit and maximum duty.

Can the chauffeur meet a private jet airside?

Only with FBO and airport permission. Otherwise the meeting occurs at an approved reception or landside point.

What vehicle should I request for several large bags?

Send counts and dimensions. A minivan or separate luggage vehicle may be more appropriate than a luxury sedan that technically seats the party.

What happens if the flight diverts?

The written terms govern redispatch, cancellation and additional cost. REQUEST VIP needs passenger authority before ordering a replacement movement.
