While most travelers never have to worry about dodging a crowd of photographers after a long-haul flight, privacy is a true luxury for celebrities, executives, and discerning jetsetters at Los Angeles International Airport.
For those seeking total discretion and comfort, LAX’s exclusive VIP terminal—The Private Suite—offers an unparalleled, seamless travel experience, reserved for premium passengers who value privacy and efficiency above all else.
The Private Suite, now a benchmark for luxury airport services globally, grants access to First and Business Class travelers for a premium fee beginning at $2,500 per visit as of 2025. Guests bypass the main terminal entirely, enjoying private check-in, expedited security, and dedicated customs clearance—all designed to eliminate the hassles and delays of traditional airport journeys.
One of the hallmarks of The Private Suite is its personalized BMW chauffeur service, whisking guests directly between their aircraft and suite in lavish comfort. Luggage handling is entirely managed by the suite’s expert staff, allowing travelers to unwind in their own sanctuary. Each guest benefits from a dedicated team, including professional drivers and an elite concierge, ensuring every detail is meticulously handled.
The Private Suite’s ethos is clear: where a standard airport journey can require more than 2,000 steps from vehicle to boarding, here you’ll take fewer than 80—each in complete tranquility, shielded from crowds and commotion.
Access is available either through an annual membership—now $8,500 per year, which unlocks preferred rates and exclusive privileges such as complimentary spa treatments prior to departure—or on a per-visit basis, with rates ranging from $2,500 to $4,500 depending on flight type and suite preference. Both private and shared suite options are available, tailored for solo travelers or small groups.
Strategically located adjacent to LAX’s main runways, The Private Suite is owned and operated by the renowned security firm Gavin de Becker & Associates. Its concept draws inspiration from elite international VIP terminals, including those at London Heathrow and Dubai International, but sets new standards for privacy and service in North America.
Annual members benefit from advance booking access up to six months ahead, reduced suite rates, and complimentary wellness amenities, including restorative massages before takeoff.
The Private Suite features 13 impeccably appointed rooms, each equipped for relaxation or productivity. Every suite boasts its own ensuite bathroom, a well-stocked refrigerator, and gourmet snack selections—from artisanal chocolates to premium nuts—ensuring guests enjoy the finest comforts before their flight.
