There's a company offering a concierge service (http://airportvip.travelconcierge.com/Content/Page/Arrival) at JFK.
Has anyone used it and, if so, does it get you through immigration & customs faster than normal?

Bas: I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes the airport system work ;)

Fast Track service will be used where appropriate and possible. Our representative will escort you through immigration as smoothly as possible; there can however be occasions when Fast Track is not available, or deemed not to be the best option.

It quoted £121.14 for an arrival service at Aberdeen, there's no way a 3rd party can meet you and escort you through arrivals so not sure what this would buy you. Things may be different in JFK though...

Having been through JFK many times I'm not sure how it will work. Only people who seem to get through quicker are crew or people who need help.

Thanks for replies. They seemed to imply that, for £78, they would escort arriving pax through immigration & customs. Could be worth the investment to see what happens.

Only time I've got through immigration quickly is when flying F class - at which point the the diplomat channel comes into play.
