Fly like a true jetsetter

Airports can be packed and overcrowded, wasting a lot of time with the possibility of missing your flight. LAX unveiled its private terminal for the ultimate luxury air travel experience.

The idea behind the new terminal offers passengers the chance to upgrade their experience to check-in at the private terminal. The Private Suite of LAX opened in 2017 offering passengers a secure, private terminal with financial options starting at $4,000.

The Private Suite is two miles from LAX and offers 12 individual private suites with the program coordinated with 70 airlines. The Private Suite also has its own TSA check and a fleet of BMWs that drives passengers right up to their airplane.

The location is highly secure which is why they have a huge list of celebrities that love their service. When guests arrive, they’re assigned a team of eight people for a true VIP service including valeting the car, checking in baggage, and handling everything for check-in while guests are escorted to the private suite.

They also offer guests a spa experience with a facility including showers with the option to book a complimentary massage, haircut, and manicure that can also be done in the suite.
