Private terminals in the Gulf
The Gulf's private terminals began as government and royal VIP facilities, which is why they're so lavishly built. Several are now quietly open to any traveller who books ahead.
The Gulf does this on a different scale. Dubai's Al Majlis and Abu Dhabi's VIP Terminal were built for visiting heads of state and have the marble to prove it; both now take bookings from the public. Bahrain's Awal rounds out a region where the terminals are grand and the prices, tellingly, are often quoted only on request.
Worth knowing before you ask: in the Gulf the published price is the exception, so factor in a quote request and a day's notice.
Every price and access rule is sourced and dated on its own terminal page. We cite or leave blank; we never guess.
Amsterdam's VIP Centre raised its rate: €615 for the first guest, €380 for each additional, up from €585 and €360.
London City's First Class Lounge, run through the Private Jet Centre, has quietly closed; the airport says it has no lounge at all until a new one opens in 2027.
Munich's VipWing has been checked against the operator's own floor plan: it has a separate street entrance, its own security and passport control, and a car to the aircraft, so it's staying on the list as a strong candidate. Its listed price is now €630 for the first guest and €330 for each additional guest.
