Ritz Paris | VIP airport privileges at CDG

Hotel Ritz Paris is about to make your trip to Paris infinitely more enjoyable from the moment you land at CDG. There's not a shred of luxury in the typical airport experience. Terminals are crowded. Lines are long. Security screening is inefficient. And service? First class service ends the moment you step off the plane and enter the terminal.

Of all the international airports in the world, perhaps none is quite so inefficient as Charles de Gaulle in Paris. As soon as you step onto the jetway, you join throngs of passengers from all the other international flights to be herded through immigration and customs.

Let me entertain your imagination for a moment. What might a VIP welcome at Charles de Gaulle look like? Let's indulge our fantasies...

• What if, the moment you stepped off the aircraft, you were greeted by a hostess waiting just for you?
  
• What if this hostess ensured that you had privileged transit through security and passport control?
  
• What if she collected your luggage for you?
  
• What if she escorted you to your waiting limousine in front of the arrivals terminal?
  
• What if you were whisked off to your Paris hotel in a Mercedes Class E limousine?
  
• And what if this service cost you nothing?

This is not a fantasy. This is a complimentary amenity reserved exclusively for Virtuoso guests at the Ritz Paris from May 15 - Dec. 27, 2007.

Permit me to further indulge your fantasies. What if you could receive similar VIP airport privileges upon your departure from Paris? You will of course be driven to CDG in a Mercedes limousine.

• Upon your arrival at the airport, you will be led to a private lounge where you can relax.
  
• Your hostess will take care of check-in and luggage registration for you.
  
• She will also take care of any tax-free procedures.
  
• You will have the privilege of seat selection and will be guaranteed a seat even if the flight is overbooked.

(Alas, you will have to pay for your return-trip VIP airport fantasy).
