Credit cards with access to airport meet and assist

Navigating an unfamiliar airport can be daunting. That’s where airport meet and assist comes in: A knowledgeable representative will show you exactly what to do to get through the airport and on your flight.

What is airport meet and assist?

When you book this service, a representative will meet you at the airport to escort you to your aircraft gate or to ground transportation. They can also help expedite essential airline processes for you.

Airport meet and assist might include services such as:

• Meeting you curbside.
• Expediting you through check-in and security lanes.
• Escorting you to your aircraft gate.
• Expediting you through immigration and customs.
• Assisting you with flight transfers.

How to get airport meet and assist

You can book airport meet and assist through companies such as Blacklane, Royal Airport Concierge and Fast Track.

Also, some airlines — such as Air France, Alitalia, Singapore Airlines and United — offer this as a paid service.

Do credit cards offer meet and assist perks?

While credit cards don’t offer complimentary meet and assist, some give you access to paid airport concierge services. For example, according to Mastercard, you can book a meet-and-greet agent — along with a 15% discount — if you have one of its cards.

If your credit card gives you access to general concierge service, your concierge can help you book airport meet and assist.
