Our experienced, DBS-checked team expertly manages logistics such as check-in, airline liaison, and navigation through security or onward to pre-arranged transport.

What does your Airport Meet and Assist service offer school groups?
At Airport Angels, we provide a caring and professional Meet and Assist service for school groups at all major UK airports, ensuring every stage of the journey is seamless and stress-free.
On departure, our Airport Angels meet the group on arrival at the terminal, liaising directly with the airline to arrange check-in desks and boarding passes in advance wherever possible. We assist with baggage and travel documentation, guiding the group through the entire check-in process and escorting them to security while calmly handling any issues that arise along the way. If the group is running late due to traffic or coach delays, we communicate directly with airline staff to prioritise check-in whenever possible, ensuring everyone still boards smoothly.
When the group arrives into the UK, one of our Angels will be waiting in Arrivals with a warm welcome. We monitor flights in real time and stay in close contact with coach marshals and transport providers to coordinate accurate arrival times and meeting points, ensuring the handover from the terminal to onward transport runs efficiently. If a coach is delayed, we remain in touch with the company until it arrives—keeping the group informed and providing reassurance throughout.
With over a decade of experience supporting school and youth travel groups, Airport Angels offer complete peace of mind for schools, teachers, and tour operators. From early-morning check-ins to late-night arrivals, our Angels take care of every detail with professionalism, flexibility, and always a friendly smile.
What makes your Meet and Assist airport service a great choice for educational groups
With over 14 years of experience, Airport Angels understand exactly what schools and educational groups need when navigating busy airports. Our team is trained in-house to provide calm, confident support at every stage of the journey, from group check-ins to arrivals coordination.
We believe that the airport experience should be as smooth and stress-free as possible, not just for the students, but for the teachers and group leaders too. By taking care of all the practical details — from liaising with airlines and handling check-in paperwork to managing baggage and communicating with coach marshals — we allow staff to focus on their group, not the logistics.
Our positive, experienced team are experts in problem-solving and reassurance, ensuring groups feel safe, supported, and well looked after from start to finish. With Airport Angels by your side, every student’s journey begins and ends with confidence, care, and a friendly face.

Testimonials

I hope you are well and having a good week. The weekend is now in sight!
I am emailing to say thank you and to praise the amazing, calm and reassuring help offered to our group and to me specifically last week at Heathrow Airport.
The girls were kind, calm and professional under what for us felt like stressful circumstances! I am sure it was a lot of work and coordination for them, and I wanted to say thank you for their help. It was hugely appreciated, and it felt important to let you know how brilliant they were.
They both deserve lots of joy and I wish them every success! Truly angels!

We had an incredible experience with Airport Angels! They were so helpful in gathering our travel group at Heathrow. Nuzhat, Thenuya, and Shafla were each prompt, professional, and very kind, they made the transfer from the airport to our bus completely seamless. A special thanks as well to Siobhan, who handled all of our communications. She was wonderful to work with, always quick to reply, and answered every question with such clarity. We’re so grateful for their support and would highly recommend Airport Angels!
