VIP Transfer

VIP Fast Track Airport Arrival Assistance, Bali, Indonesia

*** NOTE This service is currently unavailable (February 2015).

Not fond of crowds or queues, when we first heard of Asia World Indonesia’s VIP Fast Track Arrival Assistance, we were head over heels with the prospect. Having had long waits on prior travels to Bali and at times finding it all a little chaotic, the idea of being personally escorted through immigration and customs, essentially jumping the line, made us both very happy.

Paying a small fee gifts us with a personal greeter, who waits with our name sign only a few steps after we’ve disembarked the plane. This is where we hand over passport, arrival card (it helps if you’ve filled it out on the plane beforehand) and money for purchasing the Visa on Arrival if required ($35 for up to 30 days stay).

Our Guide Inside the Airport

Following our escort we walk past the line of waiting arrivals and go directly to the immigration counter. It’s not an uncomfortable cutting of the line, but rather we’re able to use channels usually only reserved for crew or VIPs (which we’ve paid to be).

 

While it’s a little nerve wrecking the first time, handing over our passports that is, our host is quickly in and out of the immigration office with our necessary stamps and receipts in no time. (If you’re an unreasonably anxious person, just snap a photo of your guide holding your passports to ease your mind.) The longest wait is for our bags. Luggage in hand, we’re once again whisked off to pass customs. We don’t get to skip this queue, but it’s a fast moving one. Basically all bags are put on a conveyer belt through an x-ray machine, so the line slows a little but never really stops.

 

On the other side of it all, we’re handed over to our butler who again welcomes us to Bali and assists us into our transfer. All is smooth and I’ve timed the whole process. From the moment we first stepped off the plane, to having our bottoms parked in our car, took a mere 12 minutes. Record time! If we had only hand luggage it would have been even faster as the most minutes spent waiting were at the baggage carousel.

Car and Butler
Not only do we have a driver, but our butler accompanies us also. Provided with water, a cold towel and a welcome kit we’re feeling pampered. Our butler serves as a wealth of knowledge and he always has answers for hubby’s stream of questions. Right up to the moment we part we know we’re well cared for. Upon arriving to our villa, we’re not farewelled until our butler has seen that we’re checked in and taken care of. What a service!

  1. Yes, that would be so nice – knowing that one is in safe hands, just relax and enjoy the holiday, no need to worry about what to do, where to go and all that. That's why I would prefer going to places where I have friends, the more the merrier…or join a guided tour – I'm not very adventurous.
