The Official Airport Assistance Network of the World Airports
At RHO Airport, Assist gives you access to the fast track, which in turn allows you to skip the long queues at check-in, security and passport control, very useful during the summer charter peaks. Also, your agent takes you through the priority lines and sees to it that you get through the airport formalities with a minimum wait. This service also helps families, seniors and travellers with tight schedules move smoothly. AirportAssist monitors flight waves in real time to choose the quickest route. The overall experience feels significantly calmer and quicker.
At Meet Greet, an AirportAssist rep will be at the airport to meet you in the arrivals hall, at the aircraft door or at the curb as you request. We have immigration, customs, baggage claim and the terminal’s new sections covered. As for departures, we handle check-in, issue boarding passes, and see to it that you get into your flight’s lane. It is great for first-time visitors or those who prefer guidance through the busy summer crowds. This service is all about making you feel at home and very much at ease from the start.
AirportAssist, we have lounge access for which travellers may sign up. At RHO’s lounges, you get free refreshments, quiet seating, charge points and work-oriented areas. Your assistant ensures you access the lounge closest to your gate to avoid unnecessary walking. This becomes especially valuable during peak times when the public waiting area fills quickly. Lounge access ensures you enjoy a calm pre-flight environment with everything you need.
The VIP service at RHO provides a seamless airport experience from curb to aircraft. AirportAssist handles every formal aspect - from check-in to luggage handling, priority lanes, immigration support and escorting you directly to boarding. The service is tailored to passengers wanting privacy, efficiency or additional comfort. VIP guests also benefit from proactive handling of schedule or gate changes. This premium escorting creates a polished, effortless travel flow.
Travelling with children or mobility challenges becomes easier with AirportAssist. Agents also do the work of helping out at check-in, they push chairs, manage carry-ons and security issues for you. We also have personnel who will guide you to the baby change rooms and family areas. For passengers with reduced mobility, we have wheelchair assistance and navigation through the many terminal halls. This ensures stress-free navigation through a sometimes-busy terminal. The service is particularly helpful during holiday months.
At AirportAssist, we provide porter services for travellers with heavy bags, sports gear or many suitcases. Upon arrival, we meet you at the exit, handle the loading of your luggage and see you into your taxi, rental car or bus. At the time of departure, we help with your bags from the drop off to check in. This saves significant time and effort, especially in the newly expanded check-in area where queues can stretch. It’s a practical service for families, groups and elderly passengers.
For passengers connecting through RHO - often between seasonal charter flights or domestic routes - AirportAssist provides transit escorting. Your agent meets you at your arrival gate, guides you through passport control if needed, and directs you to your next departure hall. They also help with baggage re-check for split bookings. This support ensures smooth movement through an airport with multiple passenger flows and summer bottlenecks. You stay on schedule without confusion.
RHO is small but can get crowded during summer charter waves. Keep a 2-hour mark for domestic to domestic or domestic to Schengen connections and 2.5 to 3 hours for international flights. We see that flight waves come in groups, which in turn affect security and passport control. AirportAssist fast-track can save you valuable time. Always confirm gate numbers early.
Security lines grow fast during morning departures and late-afternoon returns. Keep electronics and liquids easily accessible. Families and seniors should consider priority lanes. Off-peak hours run smoothly, but charter surges can appear suddenly. Early arrival is the safest choice.
Non-EU passengers must check entry requirements on the official Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs site: https://www.mfa.gr/en/visas/. Schengen travellers flow freely through intra-EU borders. Passport control slows down when several large aircraft arrive simultaneously. AirportAssist helps choose the quickest route through immigration. Always carry printed documents during peak traffic periods.
RHO lounges are quieter alternatives to the often-busy gate areas. They offer drinks, snacks and workspaces. Your AirportAssist agent directs you to the lounge closest to your gate. This is especially useful for evening flights when public zones are full. Lounge access creates a comfortable buffer before boarding.
The airport does not offer dedicated nap pods, but some quiet corners near less-trafficked gates provide manageable rest spots. Outside the airport, nearby hotels in the Ialyssos area offer quick access by taxi. If resting inside, keep your valuables secure. Lounges are the best choice for comfort. Overnight stays inside the terminal are not recommended during peak months.
RHO provides free public Wi-Fi across the terminal, generally stable for browsing and communication. SIM card desks inside the airport are limited or seasonal, so consider buying a Greek SIM in Rhodes city for better prices. Download offline maps before leaving the terminal. AirportAssist can help locate workable network points. Public charging stations are available near seating clusters.
Passengers who have separate airline tickets should go to the baggage claim and re-check in at departures. The distance between the arrival area and the check-in is short, but queues may be long. We have AirportAssist porters to help with this. Always leave extra buffer time for re-checking. Split-ticket travellers benefit the most from guided assistance.
The terminal has baby rooms and accessible restrooms, but children’s play areas are limited. Families often prefer cafés or lounges with open seating. Early check-in reduces the rush, especially with strollers. AirportAssist guides families to suitable rest spots. A smooth start keeps the journey pleasant.
Gate assignments can shift, especially during charter-heavy afternoons. Screens update frequently, so check them often. AirportAssist tracks gate changes for you and escorts you if a last-minute change happens. Some gates require more walking due to the terminal's elongated layout. Stay attentive to avoid rushing.
Grab Greek pastries, souvlaki or coffee from local outlets airside. These spots offer a quick taste of Rhodes before leaving the island. Food queues increase during outbound waves, so plan. AirportAssist can guide you to shorter lines. A final local bite makes layovers enjoyable.
