Terminal 1’s Parkir VIP valet sits closest to the main departures drop-off.
Parkir VIP at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (AAP) runs as a valet-style area right by Terminal 1, saving you the walk from the general car park. You hand over the keys at the terminal frontage instead of hunting for a space in the public lot. Signage on-site uses the “Parkir VIP” name, so you’re looking for that exact wording around the main entrance lanes.
This is not a pre-book online product like you see at Jakarta or Surabaya; there’s no official booking engine tied to AAP or to Terminal 1’s parking at all. Everything happens on arrival at the curb. Current public information from airport guides simply lists Parkir VIP as valet parking, without published daily or hourly tariffs, so plan with some price headroom versus the regular open-air car park.
All public flights at Samarinda use Terminal 1, so Parkir VIP drops you in the same zone as check-in counters and security for every airline. That keeps timing simple: drive straight to the T1 frontage, pull into the valet lane, and you’re a short walk from the entrance doors instead of crossing the larger ground-level lot.
Because there are no traveler reviews, blogs, or FlyerTalk threads naming Parkir VIP at AAP, you won’t find crowd-sourced tips on service quality, scratch checks, or exact parking locations behind the scenes. Treat it like any basic Indonesian valet: take a quick photo of the car, confirm the ticket stub number, and keep a clear arrival time noted in your phone.
Practical tip: if you have checked bags or family in tow, use Parkir VIP for drop-off at Terminal 1, then ask for the pickup point location and local contact number before you walk into the building.
