A Smooth Sailing Start

As someone who thrives on the thrill of the ocean and the laid-back island lifestyle, I was intrigued by the idea of a VIP airport experience in Aruba. My partner and I decided to give the VIP Meet and Greet a try, hoping it would add a touch of luxury to our travels. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a young lady whose distinctive attire and welcoming smile made her easy to spot. With our names prominently displayed on her tablet, we felt like celebrities from the get-go.

The efficiency of the service was impressive. Within twenty minutes, we were whisked through the airport and into our waiting limo. The young lady and our friendly driver, who we later discovered were fraternal twins, made the process seamless. It was a refreshing change from the usual hustle and bustle of airport arrivals, and it set the tone for a relaxing trip.

Navigating the Departure Maze

As our trip came to an end, we were once again reminded of the value of the VIP service. Ramon, our guide for the departure, expertly navigated us through the labyrinthine airport. The place was bustling and confusing, but with Ramon by our side, we breezed through the checkpoints in just thirty minutes. Without his guidance, we would have been lost in the crowd for hours.

The line for US Customs was daunting, with only one officer handling the long queue. Thankfully, we had downloaded the MPC app, which, along with Ramon’s assistance, allowed us to pass through quickly. The service dropped us off at the VIP lounge, conveniently located across from the United departure gate. It was a relief to escape the chaos and unwind before our flight.

Lounging Like a VIP

The VIP lounge was a haven of comfort amidst the airport’s hustle. Despite its limited seating capacity, we found a spot without any wait. The lounge offered a variety of complimentary drinks and snacks, from cocktails to sandwiches and even meatballs. It was a delightful spread that added to the feeling of being pampered.

However, the lounge did have an unusual quirk. Before 5 pm, an announcement was made that it would be closing, which seemed odd. Nevertheless, the overall experience was worth every penny. The service made us feel like true VIPs, jumping lines and taking shortcuts with ease. It was a fitting end to our island adventure, and I highly recommend avoiding weekend departures if possible to make the most of this luxurious service.

In the end, the VIP Meet and Greet was more than just a convenience; it was an experience that added a touch of glamour to our travels. For anyone looking to elevate their airport experience in Aruba, this service is a must-try. It was the perfect way to cap off our island escapade, leaving us with memories of fun and ease that will linger long after the trip.
