Every airport, flight-tracked and concierge-held.
Airport transfers with Artisan Chauffeur & Concierge are arranged through a vetted network of local operators across the North American commercial footprint, with international service available on request. Every transfer is matched to the airport itself — including JFK, LGA, EWR, TEB, HPN, LAX, SNA, BUR, VNY, LGB, BOS, BED, ORD, MDW, PWK, DPA, MIA, FLL, PBI, OPF, ATL, PDK, SEA, BFI, PAE, DEN, DCA, IAD, BWI, SFO, OAK, SJC, DFW, DAL, IAH, HOU, MCO, TPA, YYZ, YTZ, YVR, CXH, YUL, YYC, and YOW — and coordinated by operators who know those specific terminals, curbs, and FBO ramps. Flights are tracked against actual wheels-down, not the original schedule, with curbside the default and meet-and-greet opt-in.
Request with flight details
Share the itinerary: flight or tail number, arrival airport and terminal, number of passengers, luggage, and any child-seat or accessibility needs. For private aviation, note the FBO and aircraft registration so the operator can pre-clear ramp access.
Operator matched & confirmed
A vetted local operator is selected for the specific airport and time of day. The assigned chauffeur, vehicle class, license plate, pickup location, and wait policy are confirmed by email before arrival.
Flight tracked in real time
Actual arrival is monitored against the schedule. If the flight lands early, the pickup time moves earlier. If it delays or diverts, the chauffeur is redirected automatically and wait-time policy is applied from the adjusted arrival.
Arrival coordinated
Curbside pickup is the default at most terminals. Meet-and-greet inside the terminal or at baggage claim is available on request. At FBO-primary airports like Teterboro and Van Nuys, the vehicle is positioned planeside where the ramp allows.
Real-time flight tracking
Every transfer is tied to the actual flight status, not the scheduled time. Early arrivals, delays, gate changes, and diversions are all picked up by the operator's tracking system.
Complimentary wait window
60 minutes of wait time for domestic arrivals, up to 90 minutes for international arrivals requiring customs and immigration. The clock starts at wheels-down, not the scheduled time.
Luggage assistance
The assigned chauffeur handles bags at the curb or at baggage claim. For multi-passenger trips with excess luggage, an SUV or Sprinter is matched to the luggage count before booking, not after.
Climate-controlled cabin
The vehicle is pre-cooled or pre-warmed before arrival. Late-model sedans, SUVs, and Sprinter vans only, with interior condition verified by the operator on each dispatch.
Bottled water & quiet cabin
Cold bottled water is standard. Chauffeurs default to a quiet cabin with no unsolicited conversation and no radio, unless the passenger opens dialogue.
Direct mobile to the chauffeur
The assigned chauffeur's mobile number is shared before pickup so you can reach them directly from the jet bridge or the curb. The concierge desk remains on call as a second line.
Curbs, ramps, and local rules — by airport.
JFK — multi-terminal logistics
Pickup at Terminal 1, Terminal 4, and Terminal 8 each have their own arrivals-level curb and short-term hold areas; meet-and-greet is staged at the respective baggage claim. Long-haul international arrivals (T1 and T4) get the 90-minute wait window applied automatically to account for CBP hall times.
LAX — arrivals curb density
The Central Terminal Area arrivals loop is one of the busiest pickup curbs in the country, with enforcement that routinely moves vehicles off the curb. Meet-and-greet at baggage claim is strongly recommended over a curbside wave at LAX. The assigned chauffeur meets passengers inside the terminal and escorts to the vehicle.
Teterboro (TEB) — FBO-primary
Teterboro is almost entirely private aviation. Ground service is coordinated directly with the FBO (Signature Flight Support, Jet Aviation, and Meridian are the primary operators), with ramp access pre-cleared via tail number before the flight lands. Vehicles stage planeside where authorized and at the FBO canopy otherwise.
O'Hare (ORD) — terminal spread
Domestic pickups spread across Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 5, with rideshare and livery separated from the arrivals curb. Terminal 5 handles most international arrivals and has its own quirk: the curb there sits below the departures level, and the ARC livery hold is several minutes from baggage claim, so meet-and-greet timing needs to account for the transit.
Van Nuys (VNY) — LA's primary FBO airport
For charter and private arrivals in Los Angeles, Van Nuys is the primary FBO airport rather than LAX. Clay Lacy Aviation, Signature Flight Support, and Jet Aviation handle the majority of ramp traffic. Planeside pickup is standard and coordinated via tail number with the FBO dispatcher before arrival.
Opa-Locka (OPF) — Miami private-jet airport
Opa-Locka Executive is the preferred private-jet airport for Miami arrivals, particularly for Miami Beach and Brickell destinations. Fontainebleau Aviation is the most common FBO, with ramp access coordinated by tail number. The drive to South Beach is typically shorter from OPF than from MIA depending on time of day.
Newark (EWR) — dedicated livery hold
All three EWR terminals route chauffeured vehicles to a livery hold lot before release to the arrivals curb. The assigned chauffeur typically parks and meets arrivals at the designated meeter-greeter point in baggage claim rather than circling the curb.
International airports — lead time
Outside the North American commercial footprint, airport transfers are arranged on request with a 48 to 72 hour lead time so the concierge desk can vet the local operator and confirm terminal-specific logistics before the flight departs.

Frequently asked questions.
Every transfer is tied to the aircraft's actual status, not the scheduled time. If the flight lands early, the pickup time shifts earlier; if the flight delays or diverts, the assigned chauffeur is redirected and the wait window is applied from the adjusted wheels-down time, not the original schedule.
The standard window is 60 minutes for domestic arrivals and up to 90 minutes for international arrivals requiring customs and immigration. The clock starts at wheels-down, so time spent taxiing, deplaning, or clearing CBP does not count against the window.
Curbside is the default and works well at terminals with efficient arrivals loops. Meet-and-greet inside the terminal or at baggage claim is strongly recommended at LAX, JFK Terminal 4, and any long-haul international arrival. A chauffeur with a discreet sign meets the passenger past CBP and escorts them to the vehicle.
Yes. At Teterboro, Van Nuys, Opa-Locka, and other FBO-primary airports, ramp access is pre-cleared via tail number with the FBO dispatcher (Signature Flight Support, Jet Aviation, Meridian, Clay Lacy, or Fontainebleau depending on the airport). The vehicle stages planeside where authorized and at the FBO canopy otherwise.
