Fancy a more luxurious airport experience than buying a meal deal or two for one book at the gate?
Heathrow has got you covered with its new and improved private terminal, that has just undergone a £3 million transformation.
Designed for VIPs, the upgraded Windsor by Heathrow offers world-class service, from fine dining and private butlers, to personal shoppers and electric BMW chauffeur transfers directly to the plane.
But if you want to see how the other half fly, you’ll have to part with some serious cash. Prices start from £3,812 for yourself and up to three guests.
Heathrow has been known for its VIP services since the 1960s, when it mainly catered for diplomats and royalty. Since opening in 2008, The Windsor Suite has welcomed several notable figures, including The Pope and Prince Harry.
The recent upgrade is part of the airport’s £2.3 billion investment plan and boasts revamped lounges, a redesigned atrium and curated artwork, including pieces by Banksy and Andy Warhol, which can be purchased via QR code.
Fine dining is also available pre-flight, including a new signature dish by Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton: English butter shortbread with praline cream.
Travellers can use The Windsor to fly to popular destinations including Doha, Riyadh, Dubai, Los Angeles and New York, with airlines such as Etihad, Qatar Airways, British Airways, American Airlines and Emirates.
But anyone travelling First or Business Class from Heathrow can also use The Windsor, regardless of their airline or terminal.
Every airport stress will be washed away by the VIP team, who provide private security, immigration and customs.
Guests simply provide their passports and documents to a host, and let them handle the rest.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s also a personal shopper who navigates the back corridors of Heathrow Airport to ‘discretely’ guide guests to their favourite stores.
Charlotte Burns, VIP Lead at Heathrow, said the upgraded terminal was designed to reflect the best British aviation has to offer.
She added: ‘It’s a testament to our heritage in pioneering luxury travel. From the moment you step out of your front door to the second you board your plane, we ensure that every detail is taken care of – making your journey seamless, relaxing and unforgettable.’
