Private terminals in Europe

Europe has the densest cluster of real private terminals anywhere, from Heathrow's Windsor and Paris's Extime Exclusive to airport-run VIP terminals in Vienna, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. They range from under £200 to nearly £4,000.

Europe is where the private-terminal idea is most established and most varied: state-airport VIP terminals that have quietly existed for decades, a new wave of design-led openings, and one airline cathedral at Frankfurt. The spread of price and access is wider here than any other region, which makes it the best place to see what the money actually buys.

London alone has three, at three different airports, enough that it has its own page.

Every price and access rule is sourced and dated on its own terminal page. We cite or leave blank; we never guess.
