Worried about huge airport crowds and not a member of an airline VIP club, which may already be overcrowded?
There are now airlines that offer little-known private concierge services to whisk you through at a price.
You can book these services at American, Delta, and United and it gives you priority access to lounges as well as priority through TSA. And in some cases, you can get a chauffeured luxury car ride on the tarmac to your plane.
At Delta, it’s called VIP Select, American calls it Five Star and United labels its VIP Meet and Greet its signature service.
One important caution is that it’s not inexpensive.
At Delta, it costs $500 per passenger and $100 for each additional passenger, up to a total of four people.
