Tel Aviv Ben Gurion: Fast Track VIP Airport Arrival & Departure

Summary

Airport arrival in Tel Aviv made simple and fast with VIP help

You’ll be met right off your flight at Tel Aviv Ben Gurion by a local guide who whisks you past the crowds and straight to your private car on the tarmac. Skip every line—immigration, customs—and get help with your luggage so you’re out of the airport in about 20 minutes. It’s surprisingly calming after a long journey.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I felt a little awkward stepping off the plane at Ben Gurion and seeing my name on a sign before I’d even reached the terminal. Everyone else was shuffling along toward passport control, but our guide—her name was Anat, super calm—just waved us over. Suddenly we were heading down a set of stairs straight onto the tarmac. The air smelled different—sort of warm and metallic, like jet fuel and desert dust. It was weirdly quiet for an airport. I kept glancing back at the windows where everyone else was still waiting in line.

Anat led us to this black van parked right by the plane (I guess this is what “VIP fast track” really means). She chatted with my partner about where we were staying in Tel Aviv, and then just handled everything—passports, customs forms, even our bags. I tried to help but she just smiled and said “You’re on vacation now.” There was this moment when we zipped past a huge crowd at immigration—I almost felt guilty. Almost.

All told, it took maybe 20 minutes from landing to getting into our taxi. I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed after a long flight; usually airports make me tense up. The whole thing felt kind of surreal, like skipping a level in a video game or something. If you’re traveling with family or just hate waiting around (guilty), this day trip machu picchu cusco—I mean, sorry, this fast track VIP service at Ben Gurion—makes arriving in Israel way less stressful. I still think about how smooth it was every time I’m stuck in another airport line somewhere else.
