These are two different services that can also be used together.
Fast Track & Meet Assist provides personal assistance with the applicable procedures inside the airport.
A private airport transfer provides transportation between the airport and your hotel or accommodation.
Travellers who want a smoother door-to-door arrival can arrange both services in advance.
A few simple preparations can make your arrival easier.
Before travelling, keep the following information accessible:
Keeping important travel information available on your phone and offline can also be useful after landing.
Families arriving with children may prefer to arrange airport services before travelling rather than making decisions after a long flight.
A pre-booked transfer means transportation is already organised, while personal airport assistance can help make the applicable arrival procedures easier to navigate.
When booking, provide the correct number of passengers and mention any specific transfer requirements in advance.
If this is your first visit, you do not need to arrange every part of your holiday before leaving home.
However, the services connected directly to your arrival are usually worth organising first.
These may include:
Excursions and other activities can then be planned separately once your arrival arrangements are clear.
For your return flight, plan enough time to reach the airport and complete the required departure procedures.
Your required airport arrival time can depend on your airline, flight and travel conditions, so always follow the instructions provided by your airline or tour operator.
Passengers who prefer personal assistance can also arrange airport accompaniment for departure in advance.
Choose the service according to what you want help with.
If you want assistance inside the airport:
Choose Fast Track & Meet Assist.
If you need transportation to or from your hotel:
Choose a private airport transfer.
If you want assistance inside the airport followed by transportation to your hotel:
Arrange both services.
This distinction is important because airport assistance and airport transportation are separate services.
Arranging essential airport services before travelling can make your arrival in Sharm El Sheikh easier, especially when travelling with children, arriving for the first time, or landing during a busy period.
