Where will my AssistAnt greeter meet me when I land at Kona International Airport? +

For domestic flights, your greeter meets you right as you step off the mobile aircraft stairs onto the outdoor tarmac ramp. For international flights, your greeter meets you at aircraft debarkation and escorts you to U.S. Customs on the South Ramp.

How does the agricultural inspection at KOA impact departure timing? +

All departing passengers must pass checked and carry-on luggage through USDA agricultural inspection prior to airline check-in and TSA screening. Your AssistAnt concierge expedites this process by managing bag placement through the inspection scanners.

Is there an air-conditioned lounge available at KOA? +

Yes, the Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club located in Terminal 2 provides an air-conditioned environment with private seating, Wi-Fi, and refreshments.

Can AssistAnt arrange direct tarmac vehicle transfers for private jet arrivals at KOA? +

Yes. Private aircraft arriving at Signature Aviation KOA or Atlantic Aviation can utilize direct tarmac-to-car vehicle placement upon landing, subject to advance manifest submission.

What is the average walking time between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at KOA? +

Because KOA features a contiguous open-air layout, walking between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 takes under 5 minutes along the outdoor pedestrian walkway.

How does Fast-Track TSA screening work for commercial departures at KOA? +

Your AssistAnt concierge guides you through USDA screening, manages airline baggage check-in, and escorts you through dedicated TSA PreCheck or priority lanes at the central checkpoint.

Where does my private driver pick me up after landing at KOA? +

Your greeter collects your luggage from the open-air baggage carousels and escorts you directly to your waiting private chauffeur at the designated VIP ground transportation curb outside arrivals.

What is the drive time from KOA to the Kohala Coast luxury resort area? +

A private executive transfer from KOA to luxury resorts along the Kohala Coast (such as Hualalai, Mauna Lani, or Mauna Kea) takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes via Queen Kaสปahumanu Highway.

Can AssistAnt provide luggage handling for heavy baggage at KOA? +

Yes. Dedicated baggage porters meet your vehicle at curbside departures to handle all luggage through USDA inspection, airline check-in counters, and hold loading.

How are flight delays or schedule changes handled for KOA arrivals? +

AssistAnt tracks your inbound flight in real time using flight telemetry and automatically adjusts greeter scheduling so your concierge is waiting on the ramp regardless of arrival time changes.
