Save Time and Money with Abercrombie & Kent's New Airport Concierge Service

CHELTENHAM, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new service allowing travellers to whizz through security and customs at airports has been launched around the world by luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent.

“With A&K Airport Concierge, you’ll be inside the airport lounge or on your flight in no time.”

Calling on nearly 50-years of travel expertise A&K has launched Airport Concierge that will see passengers treated like VIP's and given the smoothest and quickest journey through more than 200 airports worldwide. Customers can be met at the steps of the aircraft and guided through security, customs and immigration. A&K Airport Concierge also includes luggage assistance, transfers in executive vehicles from the airport to the traveller’s city destination and vice versa, city guided tours to give the traveller a geographical and cultural insight to a location, and access to airport lounges even if a business or first class ticket is not held.

Stuart Nassos, Chief E-Commerce Officer for Abercrombie & Kent, said, “Time is money. We want to ensure our customers don’t waste valuable time navigating the airport when they could be accomplishing their objectives. By providing travellers with a knowledgeable airside representative to meet them at the aircraft and fast-track them through customs and immigration, baggage claim and arrivals, our new Airport Concierge is ideal for the business traveller with a minimum amount of spare time.”

Should travellers require an airport transfer, the airport chauffeur service offers a range of executive vehicles or limousines with professional English-speaking drivers. The guide can take customers on a driving tour of the city highlights to give them a greater geographical understanding of their destination. Guides can offer city life advice, including where to eat out, tipping and etiquette, so travellers can start their stay well equipped with local knowledge.

In addition, A&K Airport Concierge provides departures assistance, whisking travellers through check-in and security to get them onto their flights quickly and effortlessly. “Gone are the days of lengthy security queues, scrutinising notice boards or following directions in a foreign language,” added Stuart Nassos. “With A&K Airport Concierge, you’ll be inside the airport lounge or on your flight in no time.”

A&K Airport Concierge VIP packages start from £183 and are available for single independent travellers or for groups in over 200 of the world’s largest airports in destinations including; Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Delhi, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, London, Amsterdam, Johannesburg, Dubai, Cairo, Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid and Zurich.
