Enjoy Priority Airport Access

The vast majority of international full-service carriers—including Saudia, Emirates, Qatar Airways, and British Airways—operate exclusively out of the massive Terminal 1. Select international low-cost carriers continue to utilize the North Terminal. AssistAnt tracks your flight tail number in real-time to ensure your greeter is stationed at the precise terminal.

The terminals are geographically separated by several kilometers. The inter-terminal shuttle bus takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Because you must clear security again at the connecting terminal, AssistAnt recommends a minimum connection window of 90 to 120 minutes, which our greeters can help optimize via priority lanes.

Your greeter will be stationed airside immediately at the jet-bridge exit as you step off the plane. They will be holding an electronic placard displaying your name or corporate logo. If your aircraft parks at a remote stand, they will meet you at the terminal entrance doors where the tarmac transport bus drops you off.

No. Terminal 1 features upgraded 3D-CT smart scanners at its primary fast-track checkpoints. Travelers escorted through these lanes do not need to remove electronics, laptops, or compliant liquids from their hand luggage, reducing your physical security checkpoint time to less than 5 minutes.

Yes. If you are a GCC citizen, a Saudi resident, or a registered international traveler who has previously submitted biometric data in the Kingdom, your AssistAnt greeter will guide you directly to the Biometric Smart Gates at immigration to ensure a near-instantaneous border clearance.

Terminal 1 is one of the largest single-terminal buildings in the world. To bridge the massive footprint, an Automated People Mover (APM) operates 24/7 to transport passengers seamlessly from the central check-in hall to the international departure gate wings. Your greeter will escort you through every step of this transit.

The Plaza Premium Lounge is located airside in the Terminal 1 International Departures zone, situated precisely near Gate 39. This prime location ensures that once you finish relaxing or dining, your designated boarding gate is just a short 2 to 5-minute walk away.

No. With our VVIP Elite service, you completely bypass the public commercial infrastructure. You are met on the tarmac beside the plane by a private luxury vehicle and driven directly to the standalone Al Tanfeethi VIP Terminal, where custom immigration and baggage delivery take place in complete privacy.

Your greeter meets you curbside at the Terminal 1 premium drop-off lane alongside dedicated luggage porters. Your baggage is immediately transferred to carts, and you are escorted directly to the priority airline check-in counters or self-bag drop areas in Zone A2, eliminating any heavy lifting on your part.

Yes. In 2026, officially sealed Zamzam water bottles must be purchased at designated sales points inside the terminal using your passport and Nusuk app verification. Your AssistAnt greeter will guide you to the secure wrapping and tagging stations located in Zones C1, C2, or D1 to ensure your bottle is properly cleared for airline cargo transport.
