In the early days of the VIP Club Program, it was wonderful! It was spearheaded by Kevis Hughes, and it ran like clockwork. As a Gold VIP Member we were greeted by Kevis or one of his associates with a sign after deplaning, like a limo driver at the airport. I and my guests were whisked off to the private lounge, and he took our passports and forms. We sat in the air conditioned lounge drinking beer, champagne, rum drinks and having light snacks. Kevis collected our bags and loaded them into our private taxi. Only them did he come to retrieve us, return our passports and wish us a wonderful vacation. It was awesome!

That was approximately 2011-2014. Then the lounge was leased to a private jet service company, to be used for their customers. So there was only the greeting and hustling us to the front of the C & I lines. It was still nice, but not the luxury treatment we were used to.

It was a great idea, and for a brief time it made me and my guests feel very special!
