How does VIP service work at the Managua Airport?
At the Augusto C. Sandino International Airport (the airport in Managua, Nicaragua), I have heard there is a VIP service you can pay for, where an agent will meet you when disembarking from the plane and guide you through the immigration and customs process, or somehow make it easier. How exactly does this VIP service work? What does it cost, how do you sign up, and what does it include?

From Tripadvisor:
Try the VIP service at Managua airport: This service is one of the most unique you may experienced [sic]. You'll be greeted by an Airport representative with your name on a card at the end of the jetway or on the way down the corridor. Hand them your passport, $5, and be escorted past the long customs and baggage pick-up lines into the VIP security entrance. You'll head upstairs to the private lounge, enjoy a cocktail and some snacks while the officials process your passport, customs, secure your luggage and have it curbside with a "watcher." All this for $30 per person. You can make the reservation directly through the website...
However the link they provide does no longer work.
An English page on the Airport site talks a bit about the VIP lounge but not about the whole service. The Spanish version of the page mentions the $30 again but doesn't explain all the services. It does however list a phone number and email address for reservations. You can try to email them and ask for details.
There is also some talk about the service on the Nicaragua Living site, but it doesn't really answer your question.
