A new private luxury terminal at Miami International Airport offers wealthy commercial flyers a way to never step foot inside MIA.
Why it matters: PS today launches operations at the historic former Pan American Airways headquarters at MIA under a 20-year lease expected to pay Miami-Dade County about $16 million.
- PS, which operates in four U.S. airports, invested about $12 million renovating the building, the Miami Herald reports.
How it works: Offerings include private TSA screening, spa and lounge services and a car that takes you directly to your plane (and then from the plane to your hotel).
- For all-access members paying $4,850 per year, every visit to the PS terminal comes with per-use costs: the private suite for the day is $3,650, including free spa services, valet parking for 30 days and a car wash.
- Chauffeur service, launching later this year, would cost an additional $1,125.
- Non-members can also use the terminal but it's extra.
