Will my concierge agent assist me with my bags?
Our concierge agents will assist with up to 3 normal size bags. If there are additional bags/luggage, or oversized bags (sports equipment, golf clubs, video equipment, etc.), Airport Butler will arrange a porter for the client at an additional charge. Due to safety reasons, a porter must be reserved for anything more than 3 pieces of luggage. Advance notice of the number of bags/luggage you have is required to ensure a quick check-in.
Does my teenager count as an unaccompanied minor?
Each airline has different age requirements and fees for unaccompanied minors. You will need to check with the airline directly for the most accurate information. Regardless of your child qualifying as an unaccompanied minor or not, you can still add an Airport Butler concierge to your service to ensure your child is never left alone and you are communicated with throughout their airport journey. Please note, this would be a separate fee from what your airline may charge.
I noticed you offer mobile cart service. Can I have a private electric cart?
Currently YVR is the only location where Airport Butler can assist you in a mobile cart.
Can you meet me at my gate when I arrive from an international location?
We can only meet arriving clients on international flights in our Canadian locations. In this case, a concierge agent will be waiting at the gate upon arrival, holding an electronic sign with your name on it for easy identification. From there, they will assist you through the International Arrivals Hall and proceed through the process until you have safely departed the airport. For all U.S. Airport Butler locations, we will meet the client upon exiting customs.
