High-end travelers don’t always like brushing shoulders with the great unwashed. Now something’s coming to their white-glove rescue.
PS—formerly known as Private Suite—plans to operate a private 12,200-square-foot terminal at DFW Airport served by a fleet of luxury, chauffeur-driven BMWs. Deep-pocketed travelers who pay close to $5,000 a year for an all-access membership (plus more high-dollar extras) will avoid public terminals and go straight to PS DFW. There, a swanky “salon” and private suites will await them, along with cocktails and culinary delights.
Instead of wading down a packed ramp with the hoi polloi, PS members will be whisked by a chauffeur straight to their commercial aircraft on the tarmac. They also get private clearance from the TSA and customs, without the long crazy lines.
PS already offers the service from its private terminal at LAX Airport in Los Angeles (above). PS DFW is under construction now, with no opening date set yet, according to a statement.
“DFW Airport is excited about this newest opportunity to transform travel for our customers as PS brings its unique services to our airport,” Ken Buchanan, EVO of revenue management and customer experience at DFW Airport, told the DMN. “DFW welcomes PS and the opportunity to elevate the customer experience with this unique new option for travelers.”
