You've just landed at Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) after a long flight. Your vacation officially starts now, but first you have to navigate immigration, wait for your luggage, clear customs, and figure out transportation. Sound familiar? That's exactly why the Airport VIP Meet and Greet Arrival Assistance Service exists—to turn your arrival into the smooth, stress-free experience it should be.
Queen Beatrix International Airport is Aruba's main gateway, welcoming flights from major cities across North America, South America, and Europe. While it's a modern facility, the airport can get busy, especially during peak arrival times. Saturday afternoons are particularly crowded, as this is when most weekly vacation rentals begin and multiple flights arrive simultaneously. During high season (December through April), you can expect longer wait times at immigration and customs.
This is where the VIP service truly shines. Instead of joining the queue, you'll be met by a personal host right at the arrivals gate. They'll fast-track you through immigration, assist with customs clearance, and ensure your luggage is handled by a porter. While other travelers are still waiting in line, you'll already be on your way to your hotel or resort.
Let's be honest—after a long flight, especially one with connections, you're tired. The last thing you want is to stand in line for 30-45 minutes (or longer during peak times) just to enter the country. The VIP meet-and-greet service eliminates that entire wait. Here's what makes it worth it:
If you're flying into Aruba, here's what you should know about peak arrival times and how to make the most of your VIP service:
Peak arrival hours at Reina Beatrix Airport typically occur between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, with Saturday afternoons being the busiest. During high season (mid-December through mid-April), you can expect even longer wait times as multiple flights from the United States, Canada, and Europe arrive simultaneously. Summer months (June through August) also see increased traffic, though not quite as intense as the winter high season.
The VIP service is particularly valuable if you're arriving during these peak times. While regular passengers might wait 45-60 minutes or more, you'll breeze through in a fraction of that time. Even during off-peak hours, the service provides peace of mind and ensures you're met by someone who knows the airport inside and out.
Another insider tip: Aruba's immigration process is generally friendly and efficient, but having a VIP host who knows the system can help avoid any potential delays. They'll ensure you have the right documentation ready and guide you through any questions customs officials might have.
Your personal host will meet you at the arrivals gate with a sign bearing your name, making it easy to spot them in the crowd. They'll assist with:
First Class Experience Aruba, the operator of this service, has perfected the art of seamless arrivals. Their hosts are professional, friendly, and know exactly how to navigate Reina Beatrix Airport efficiently.
At $155, the VIP arrival service is an investment in your vacation experience. Consider this: If you're paying hundreds or thousands for your Aruba vacation, spending a bit more to ensure it starts smoothly makes sense. You're not just paying to skip lines—you're paying for peace of mind, time savings, and the ability to start relaxing the moment you land rather than an hour later.
It's especially worth it if you're arriving during peak times, traveling with children or elderly family members, celebrating a special occasion, or simply want to maximize every moment of your vacation. After all, your vacation time is limited—why waste it standing in airport lines?
Advance booking is essential, especially during high season when slots fill up quickly. The service typically takes about 60 minutes from the time you're met at the gate until you're ready for transportation. Be sure to provide your flight details when booking, as the host will track your flight and adjust their arrival time accordingly.
