NAIA Concierge — One Greeter Across Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4
Manila airport concierge is a VIP meet-and-greet service where a dedicated Curo greeter meets you at the aircraft door at Ninoy Aquino International, escorts you through immigration and baggage reclaim, navigates NAIA's four scattered terminals, and hands you to a waiting chauffeur. Gate to car, without the inter-terminal taxi shuffle.
NAIA's Four Terminals: A Scattered Layout
Ninoy Aquino International operates four terminals that are not connected airside and sit some distance apart. Terminal 1 handles most foreign carriers such as Emirates, Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines. Terminal 2 has long been Philippine Airlines' home, while Terminal 3 is the largest, used by Cebu Pacific and several international airlines. Terminal 4 handles domestic turboprop services. Moving between them means leaving the secure zone and taking a shuttle or car, which is why terminal assignment matters more here than at most hubs.
Immigration and Arrival at Manila
Most short-stay tourists, including British, EU, US and ASEAN nationals, enter the Philippines visa-free for thirty days, so the main bottleneck is volume rather than paperwork. NAIA has introduced electronic gates for eligible passengers alongside staffed counters, but immigration halls at Terminals 1 and 3 can back up when several international flights land close together. All arriving passengers must complete the online eTravel registration before arrival. Your greeter directs you to the quickest qualifying lane.
Services and Pricing at Manila
All five Curo services run across NAIA Terminals 1 to 4, priced in USD: personal meet & greet from Silver ($250), fast-track priority immigration for Gold and Platinum ($380/$510), a dedicated porter for luggage from gate to vehicle, lounge coordination with an escort to your tier's lounge, and private chauffeur transfer with a named driver waiting in arrivals. Every booking includes real-time flight monitoring, so delays never trigger a surcharge or rebooking.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the Curo greeter meet me at NAIA?
Your greeter meets you at the aircraft door or jet bridge at your assigned NAIA terminal — Terminal 1, 2, 3 or 4 — rather than outside in the arrivals crowd. They track your flight live, are positioned as you land, and walk you straight to immigration ahead of the queue.
How much does Manila airport meet and greet cost?
Curo's NAIA concierge is priced in USD. Silver is $250 per traveller, covering a personal greeter, immigration escort and baggage assistance. Gold at $380 adds fast track, a porter and lounge coordination. Platinum at $510 adds a private chauffeur transfer to any Manila or Makati address.
Which NAIA terminal does my airline use?
Terminal 1 serves most foreign carriers like Emirates, Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines. Terminal 2 is Philippine Airlines' base, Terminal 3 is the largest and home to Cebu Pacific and several international airlines, and Terminal 4 handles domestic flights. As the terminals are separate, your greeter is assigned to your exact one.
Do I need a visa or eTravel registration for Manila?
Most British, EU, US and ASEAN visitors enter visa-free for thirty days, so no advance visa is usually needed. However, every arriving passenger must complete the online eTravel registration before reaching immigration. Curo does not file it for you, but your greeter ensures you clear the correct lane smoothly.
Can Curo help me change terminals at NAIA?
Yes, and at Manila this is genuinely valuable. Because the four terminals are not linked airside, a connection between, say, an international Terminal 1 arrival and a Cebu Pacific Terminal 3 departure means an external transfer. Your greeter manages baggage, the inter-terminal move and onward check-in.
What if my flight into Manila is delayed?
Curo monitors your flight in real time and adapts automatically. There is no rebooking, no cancellation and no delay surcharge. Your greeter waits for your actual touchdown, and any booked chauffeur is held against your live arrival rather than the scheduled time.
Is the service suitable for families and elderly travellers?
Yes. NAIA's separated terminals and busy immigration halls make it a popular choice for families with children and elderly relatives travelling alone. Your greeter provides one-to-one escort through immigration, baggage and to the waiting vehicle, with this support included in every tier.
Is Manila airport concierge worth it?
For long-haul arrivals, business travellers and anyone connecting between NAIA's scattered terminals, it is. You skip the immigration crush, avoid the costly inter-terminal taxi shuffle, and have a named driver waiting — turning one of Asia's more confusing airports into a clean gate-to-car arrival.
