Good to know

At JFK, Terminal 4 first.

  • Terminal 4

    We arrange meet and greet at JFK Terminal 4, where many long-haul flights from Europe, the Middle East and Asia arrive. If your flight uses another terminal, tell us and we check what can be arranged. Airlines change terminals, so check yours on your booking.

  • International arrivals

    Nobody can go with you through US immigration and customs, and nobody can shorten the wait there. Your greeter tracks your flight and meets you at baggage claim, straight after, then takes you and your bags to your car, the AirTrain or your next terminal.

  • Connections

    Landing from abroad and flying on? You clear customs with your bags first; your greeter then helps you re-check them and takes you to your next terminal.

  • Departing JFK

    You are met at the curb and helped through check-in. How far your greeter can come with you through security depends on the airport's security rules for your ticket.

  • Your party

    One booking covers up to four people traveling together, with their bags. Tell us about a larger party and we check what can be arranged.

Before you ask

What travelers want to know.

What is the JFK VIP arrival service?

A personal greeter who waits for you at baggage claim in Terminal 4, straight after US immigration and customs, helps with your bags and takes you to your car, the AirTrain or your next terminal. At JFK we take it on enquiry: our desk confirms and sends one price.

Can a greeter meet me at the gate or take me through customs at JFK?

Not on an international arrival: nobody can go with you through US immigration and customs. Your greeter meets you at baggage claim, straight after. On a departure you are met at the curb.

How long does customs at JFK take?

It depends on the time of day and how many flights land together, and it is run by US Customs and Border Protection: nobody can shorten it. Your greeter follows your flight and waits at baggage claim, however long it takes.

Can you help with a connection between terminals at JFK?

Yes, on enquiry. After customs your greeter helps you re-check your bags and takes you on the AirTrain to your next terminal. Send both flights and we check the timing.

How much does JFK meet and greet cost?

One price for your whole party, sent by our desk once the date and terminal are confirmed. There is no online payment for JFK yet, and nothing is charged until you accept.

Can you help an elderly traveler or someone who needs a wheelchair?

Yes. A wheelchair at a US airport is arranged free by the airline: ask for it when you book your ticket. Our greeter is extra to that, walking alongside, looking after the bags and staying until the hand-over.

Do your greeters speak other languages?

Tell us which language you or your traveler speaks and we ask for a greeter who speaks it. It depends on who is working that day, so we confirm before you pay and never promise it in advance.

Can I book and pay online for JFK?

Not yet. At John F. Kennedy International Airport we take an enquiry: our desk confirms what can be arranged and sends one price. You pay only after you accept it, by the method we send.

What can be arranged at JFK?

A greeter for your arrival, departure or connection, with help for your bags. Tell us anything particular, such as a parent traveling alone, a wheelchair requested from the airline or a tight connection, and we say what is possible.

How soon do you answer?

Our desk is staffed 24 hours a day, every day: a person picks up your request straight away, whatever the hour. A price follows once availability at JFK is confirmed.
