This sounds awesome. I've never heard of you. I commute internationally for work, but I've bookmarked you then to try out the next time I hit an unfamiliar airport.
It's a good idea, and it reminds me of "handlers" in the general/business aviation world. When you land, they expedite your fueling, customs, immigration, overfly permits, flight planning & routing, and more. Back to normal travelers - I wish there were a free wiki that covered all this, since it seems like it's just a matter of having the right information. Like knowing which office to go in, what forms to have read…
I went on an extended backpacking trip recently across 5 continents, and Wikitravel was unbelievably invaluable. Because it's a wiki, it has all the tiny up-to-date details that you're not going to find on more professionally-produced websites, right down to sidestepping tourist rip-offs like "if you go around the corner to XYZ plaza when you land, you can get a taxi for $20 cheaper than taking it from the airport".
Like the idea! Especially on airports that are famous for their lines and waiting time (JFK...) winning time at immigration and avoid standing in line for a taxi quickly saves you 2 hours. For the business traveler that is almost 2 extra meetings, and for the family traveler that is 2 hours less stress and crying children. I registered a domain name a while back 'DeliveryOnArrival.com' with the idea to also accelerat…
As for your baggage idea, check out a company called Dufl http://www.dufl.com/ We've spoken to them and they have an awesome service for not having to deal with your luggage.

Thanks for your input.
Dear Blaine/Solve-employee, we know this is you. Be honest with us and just post on the OP account. Faking it is even worse than self-promotion spam. :)
I've been dreaming of a service like this since last year. Im travelling to Malaysia in a couple of weeks from Heathrow and would love to get through security faster. I paid $8 (approx) to get through security faster at Luton airport when i was travelling to Amsterdam and i loved it. But unfortunately such a service is not available at Heathrow unless i buy business class or have an executive club membership. $225 is…
I just called up Heathrow premium upgrade seevices. They can do the same thing for $140 but when i told them i am travelling economy they told me they couldnt fastrack me at check-in or through security which -- to me -- makes it a complete waste of money.

Hey I travel a lot, always economy class, I hate queues... Im not sure about this, is it legal to speed up immigration process? Like how can non airport staff even get access to help you speed up internal airport stuff? I understand prebooking a taxi and helping you carry luggage? But anything else?
Our agents are problem solvers. If you forget something on the plane or need something they'll be sure to handle it quickly and efficiently. They're your your best bet when trying to get through the airport as quickly and safely as possible. A fair amount of our clients use the service to make their connections on time.
There are some programs to fast-track US immigration here [1], but only from a short list of countries [2].

First of all this is a great service, and congratulations on the launch. But... After checking I am a bit disappointed: - Istanbul: $235.00 Not including "Fast Track Immigration/Customs" for 2 passengers you can get local fast track card (I think it is around $500 for a year) which grants fast track on immigration/customs and also for all security checkpoints for 2 pax - Amsterdam: $345.00 Includes fast track vs Priv…
Hey there! We're still working on the wording and how we're crafting the message, but where we say we include Fast Track Immigrations and Customs we have access to a dedicated fast track line or the diplomat line. For airports where it says does not include, we usually have an expedited immigrations/customs. Another agent will go stand in line a head of time and you can cut in with them, or they'll know the immigrati…
If I would be in said line and observe such a behaviour, I'd be really pissed.
