Vacations are fun and relaxing — once you get to your hotel. But sometimes the trip to and from your destination can be downright exhausting! There’s nothing worse than arriving at your destination only to see long, winding lines to get through customs and immigration when you just want to start relaxing.
Well, there’s a way to get your vacation started a bit faster if your time is worth the cost. We used Club MoBay VIP Airport lounge service when we traveled to Jamaica, and for us, it was worth every penny! As soon as we exited the aircraft, we spotted our Club Mobay agent holding a sign with our name. She guided us through customs and immigration swiftly; and while we walked, she offered us great tips that are best from a local. We were then escorted to the Club Mobay Lounge where we were offered complimentary snacks and drinks. The only downfall was that our transportation to the hotel was ready for us so quickly that we didn’t have much time to enjoy the lounge. We got some sandwiches and drinks to go. But since we had the service for both arrival and departure, we were able to relax in the lounge and have a snack on our departure day.
VIP services are available at various airports around the world

and vary in price according to whether you choose arrival only or arrival and departure. There are also different costs for levels of service which can include lounge access and other upgrades like the use of private suites and limo service directly from the aircraft.
Here’s a sampling of some airports that offer VIP services:
Munich (MUC) VipWing: Offers private lounge and limousine service directly from the plane, often allowing passengers to stay in the car for customs. At an additional cost you can even book a private suite.
Frankfurt (FRA) VIP Service: Features private, expedited immigration, luggage handling and limousine service.
Paris (CDG) Air France La Première: Provides a private, high-end arrival experience, including tarmac luxury car transport, private immigration and lounge access.
London Heathrow (LHR) VIP Suite: Provides a private, discreet entrance and handles all formalities away from the main terminal.
Montego Bay, Jamaica (MJB) Club MoBay: Fast-track through customs and immigration and lounge with complimentary snacks and open bar
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico (SJD) Los Cabos Airport VIP Concierge Service: Personalized assistance to help you navigate immigration, security and baggage handling
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (PUJ) Punta Cana Airport VIP Fast Track Service: A representative meets you at the aircraft door with a sign, escorts you to a private lounge, and handles your immigration paperwork and baggage while you relax.

Opened March 2025, Villatel Resort Orlando is one of Orlando’s newest elevated resorts, but far more unique and private than you’ll find at many other resorts and hotels in the area. The name alone points to an experience beyond your typical hotel room or suite; here, you have the flexibility to select from a wide range of modern villas, ranging from four to nine bedrooms, as well as a series of Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy units.
