00:00:05.260 | In most airports, there's the accessibility of getting around some lines by using a paid airport
00:00:11.420 | employee, a greeter, to get you through security, sometimes immigration, much faster. These folks
00:00:16.120 | cost between $150 and $500 per use, and it does scale up based on how many people are using it at
00:00:22.340 | the same time. So if you're a family of five, it might be $150 for the first passenger, then $50 for
00:00:26.900 | each passenger they're after. So it's not cheap. But in some places where it's confusing to get to the

00:00:51.540 | faster, getting into a different lounge you might not have access to with your ticket, a great leveling
00:00:55.320 | up by using a greeter.
