VIP Club Arrival Service at TLV

Our tour company arranged for something called VIP Arrival Service at TLV.   

Indeed at the end of the jetbridge, our jovial guide Daniel was waiting for us with open arms. 

At the top of the stairs, we took an elevator down to the tarmac level.

And our waiting van.

A couple minutes later we parked in front of the side entrance to Passport Control.

Daniel walked us thru and around hundreds of incoming passengers to a special customs booth.  We had no doubt been profiled and pre-screened as we were processed by passport control agent in under a minute.

... and into the arrivals concourse...

... up an escalator and outside where are driver was waiting.  

Wow, simply amazing.  From the plane to our waiting car in less than 15 minutes.   What a great welcome to Israel.
