Meet & Assist on Departure at JKIA and Wilson Airport

Departures can be harder than arrivals. Someone meets you at the terminal doors, takes the admin off your hands and stays with you to the gate.

USD 40 per departure

What this includes

This booking puts a host at the terminal entrance when you arrive, and keeps them with you until you are at the gate. They help with check-in, excess baggage and any tax refund, then walk you through immigration and security.

WHAT IT IS

Checked in, walked through and seated at the gate

Leaving a country is often the more stressful half of the journey. You are carrying everything you own, the check-in queue is long, and the steps between the terminal door and the gate are easy to get wrong when you do not know the building. Our departure host takes you through them in order.

Your host waits for you at the terminal entrance, helps you find the right check-in desks and stays while your bags are weighed and tagged. If your airline charges for excess baggage, they help you settle it. If you want to claim a VAT refund on purchases, we take you to the refund desk first, because it has to be done before check-in closes.

From there your host walks you through immigration and the security screening and stops only at the gate, having checked that your flight is boarding from the gate printed on your boarding pass. If the flight is delayed or the gate changes, you have someone with you who can ask the airline staff directly.

Booked any time — 4 hours before your flight is enough

QUESTIONS

Meet & Assist – Departure FAQs

Arrivals if the passenger is landing at JKIA or Wilson Airport and needs someone waiting inside the terminal. Departure if they are flying out and need help from the terminal entrance through to the gate. Transit if they are changing flights and staying inside the terminal between an inbound and an onward flight.

Meet & Assist puts a named host with your passengers from the moment they walk into the terminal: name board, luggage, escort through immigration and customs, and the handover to the driver. Fast Tracking adds an accredited agent who takes them through the immigration fast-track lane ahead of the queue. You can book either on its own, or both together.

No. Plenty of clients book Meet & Assist on its own — for a colleague arriving on business, or for family who already have a hotel shuttle arranged. We simply walk them out to the shuttle or to a reputable taxi instead of handing them to our driver.

Nothing changes and nothing extra is charged. Your host tracks the flight number rather than a fixed time, so they are there when the aircraft actually lands. If a delay turns into a cancellation, the booking moves to the new flight.

We send a WhatsApp photo of the host, with the name that will be on the board, before the flight lands. The host waits where arriving passengers come out of customs, so there is one clear meeting point.
