Airport VIP Assistance
Our professional airport VIP assistance service is designed to simplify your journey through Newark, from arrival to departure.
Depending on the terminal and service booked, assistance can include check-in support, baggage coordination, guidance through security and arrival formalities, and escort to the gate or lounge.
Airport Meet and Greet
A dedicated representative can meet travelers at the agreed location and provide personalized assistance based on the itinerary.
Our airport meet and greet service is designed for travelers who want professional guidance rather than navigating Newark alone. Border formalities are carried out by US authorities and apply to every traveler, so our assistance focuses on helping you move through the airport with confidence, coordinating baggage and onward connections, and getting you to your transport.

Concierge support can help coordinate transportation, baggage assistance, airport arrangements, and special travel requirements, subject to local availability.
Newark has three terminals, and they are not connected on foot:
To move between terminals you take the AirTrain, which runs outside the secure area, so it’s worth confirming your terminal before you arrive. Airlines can change terminals, so check your boarding pass or airline app before travel. Our representatives coordinate assistance according to your confirmed terminal.
Newark’s AirTrain is being replaced with a new automated system, in a project expected to be completed around 2030. During construction, the airport has been replacing AirTrain service between the airport rail station and the terminals with free shuttle buses at announced times, usually on weekday daytimes, while the AirTrain continues to run between terminals. This can add time for travelers arriving by train, so check the airport’s website for the current dates.
The wider redevelopment also includes more gates at Terminal A and a new Terminal B, planned for the mid-2030s. In the meantime, the airport continues to operate normally. A representative who knows the current layout and a pre-arranged driver who has your confirmed terminal can help you avoid confusion at pickup.
