Private terminals you can buy on a commercial ticket
At 24 airports you can buy a private terminal experience on a normal commercial flight: a private entrance, your own security and passport control, and a car to the aircraft, while the flight itself stays exactly as booked. 23 of the 24 bookable terminals take any cabin, economy included, and prices run from under £100 a guest to $4,950 a suite.
The category PS started at Los Angeles in 2017 has quietly become a market. Airports and independents from Manchester to São Paulo now sell the same essentials by the visit, and the spread of prices is far wider than the famous names suggest. Here is every bookable entry in the index, cheapest first, with what each one asks of your ticket.

Every price and access rule is sourced and dated on its own terminal page. We cite or leave blank; we never guess.
What are you actually buying?
Three things, and all three have to be there for a terminal to make this index: a private entrance, never the public concourse; your own security and passport control, not a fast-track lane in the public hall; and a vehicle to the aircraft door. The wait happens in a suite or a small salon while staff handle check-in and bags. Your flight, seat and airline stay exactly as booked. The full definition is here.
Do you need a first-class ticket, or a particular airline?
Mostly neither, and that is the point of the category. 23 of the 24 bookable terminals admit any cabin, because you are buying the terminal, not the seat; 20 work with any airline, because the operator is the airport or an independent. The exceptions are worth knowing. Heathrow's Windsor asks for a business or first ticket. Bahrain's Awal is sold through Gulf Air, Signature at Antigua serves British Airways departures, and Changi's JetQuay takes full-service carriers only. The table marks each one honestly.
What does the money not buy?
The limits, plainly. The flight itself does not change: same aircraft, same seat, same service on board. Three of the terminals listed publish no price at all and quote on request, which usually means a day's notice and a conversation. A few are tied to one airline or gated by cabin, as the table shows. The Lufthansa First Class Terminal at Frankfurt is missing from this page deliberately, because it cannot be bought at any price. And we have not yet visited every terminal listed; each entry carries its sources and a verified date instead, so confirm the current rate when you book.
Where does the category go next?
It is expanding. PS has announced Paris Charles de Gaulle for 2027, its first terminal outside the United States. San Francisco International is taking bids for a paid private terminal of its own, with an earliest opening in late 2028. New entries join the index once a private entrance, private formalities and a car to the aircraft are all confirmed, and only as bookable once you can actually pay.
