As of last month, chauffeur provider Blacklane has launched Blacklane PASS — which stands for “Premium Airport Services & Solutions” — to help you make the most out of your travel time without annual membership clubs or frequent flyer status. In turn, with Blacklane’s help, travelers can now skip security and immigration lines for $100 and access lounges for $50 in more than 500 airports around the world.
Blacklane PASS brings new availability, affordability and transparency to:
– Arrival services – A concierge greets you planeside or after customs (depending on airport rules) with a pickup sign. He/she assists with luggage, takes you to the front of customs and immigration lines, and escorts you to your vehicle.
– Departure services – A concierge meets you at your vehicle. He/she helps with luggage and bypasses security and immigration lines. Inside the terminal, he/she assists with VAT refunds and duty-free shopping, and then escorts you to the lounge and/or gate.
– Connection services – The concierge meets you planeside or after customs (depending on airport rules) with a pickup sign. He/she assists with luggage (including re-checking), bypasses security and immigration lines, and escorts you to the lounge and/or gate.
– Lounges – You get three hours in airline and/or private lounges to enjoy food and beverages, showers, Wi-Fi and other amenities.
“Airport concierge services are one of the most efficient ways to decrease your travel stress. Now, thanks to our new service, it is also becoming one of the most affordable ways,” said Jens Wohltorf, CEO and co-founder of Blacklane, which now serves 260 cities across more than 50 countries. “Just as our chauffeured rides take stress out of travel on the road, PASS takes it away from the airports… Travelers’ most valuable – and most wasted – asset is time. We save time from your door step to the plane door and vice versa, giving you a seamless travel experience on the ground, be it on the road or within airport terminals.”
PASS replicates Blacklane’s high-quality chauffeur experience with:
– An intuitive booking process that takes less than a minute, for yourself or a third party.
– All-inclusive rates guaranteed when you book.
– Real-time flight tracking and adjustment of pickup times based on actual arrival times.
– English-speaking concierges with personalized pick-up signs and detailed local knowledge; the concierge name’s and contact information is sent in advance.
– 24/7 multi-lingual customer care agents available on phone, email and social media.
– Cashless payment and easy invoicing.
You can book PASS services together or separate, with or without Blacklane’s chauffeured rides. More information on the company and its services can be found online at https://pass.blacklane.com.
