The website for The Private Suite says: The website goes on to say: Members of The Private Suite are greeted by a concierge as they step off the plane and whisked down some steps to a BMW 7 Series, which then drives on the tarmac to the special terminal. If you’ve arranged a rental car, it will be waiting for you at The Private Suite. If you spill something on your clothes, The Private Suite will respond with selections from Banana Republic, Anne Klein, and Steve Madden. If you want a drink or a snack, The Private Suite has that. If there is rain at your destination, The Private Suite will give you a raincoat. Each suite is set up like a high-end hotel room. They have views of the runway and are stocked with appetizers, snacks, and a full bar. Some are set up for kids. One is tailored to the needs of Middle Eastern travelers with prayer mats and a Koran. Must be nice, eh? But all of this ease and comfort comes at a price. Membership to The Private Suite costs $7,500 per year plus $2,700 for one to four people every time the service is used. The per use price for international travel is $3,000. Non-members can use a shared waiting-area suite for $2,000. The price seems a bit outrageous but according to security expert (and investor in The Private Suite) Gavin de Becker, about 1,200 people have already signed up for the service. Who are they? Lawyers, entertainment industry moguls, and media tycoons, mostly.
