If you’re travelling to Los Angeles and looking forward to a bit of celebrity spotting, you might need to pay $US2,000 to do so.

“The Private Suite” is a separate VIP terminal at LAX for first and business class travellers. After it opens on May 15, it will enable its premium guests to have a discreet and seamless travelling experience.

However, it comes at a price: for a fee that starts at $US2,000 a visit, guests can have access to a private check-in, security screening, and customs process. They will be driven to or collected from their aeroplane in a private BMW and have all their baggage taken care of while they relax in one of the luxury suites.

There are two options: either take out a $US7,500-a-year membership and get reduced rates on the use of the terminal (plus added perks, such as free massages before a flight), or pay a higher one-off fee each time. This fee ranges from $US2,000 to $US4,000, depending on whether guests choose to lounge in private or in a larger shared room.

Take a look at what to expect:

'The Private Suite' is located right next to the main runways at LAX.

The terminal is owned and operated by security firm Gavin de Becker & Associates, and it's based on other VIP services offered at airports overseas, including London Heathrow.

It serves both domestic and international flights, arrivals and departures. Non-members pay between $2,000 and $3,500 for domestic flights and $2,500 and $4,000 for international flights, depending on whether they choose to get a private suite. Members who pay $7,500 a year are entitled to a slightly reduced rate on these fees.
