The use of a VIP Service charged to a sales ID code is not nominative, so please be careful when managing them. Clients are likewise advised that any re-sale of the service is strictly prohibited, for which reason Aena shall not be responsible or liable for any possible fraudulent use of the codes.

Users may acquire access to use any of the VIP Services that Aena manages and which are available.

In the case of access to VIP lounges, in airports where there are several lounges, we advise you to check beforehand the terminal through which the company you are flying with operates, as you will only be able to access with a boarding card for flights from that terminal.

If the Meet & Assist service is contracted, the airport will contact the customer to arrange the date and time of the service and the meeting point at the airport, depending on the terminal and the departure or arrival flight. In the booking process, the terminal of the airport where the service is requested to be provided and the relevant arrival or departure flight(s) shall be indicated so that the accompaniment service can be duly scheduled and provided.

In the event of a change in the time of the service due to a delay in the scheduled flight time, users must give at least 1 hour's notice.

During the process of access to the checkpoints, we ask you to follow the instructions of the security personnel and to hand personal belongings required by the said personnel or by the National Security Forces so that they can be scanned, where applicable.

Under no circumstances does use of this service for priority access to checkpoints exempt users from the requirement for complying with security regulations, which apply equally at all the airport's checkpoints.

In order to make use of any VIP service, you must go through the usual airport security controls for passengers, as all VIP services are located in a security restricted area.

Before using the VIP Service, you must show the sales ID code together with one boarding pass per person. You must keep this code throughout your stay at the airport and remain attentive to the boarding information screens, as Aena cannot be held responsible for missed flights due to failure to pay attention to information screens.
