Take a look inside the luxury airport lounge used by the royal family
Around the world, many airports are known to boast luxurious airport lounges that service frequent flyers and elite travellers.
These exclusive areas of the airport are reserved for VIP customers, with members of the royal family even utilising the luxury lounges.
At London’s Heathrow Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world, the famous Windsor Suite, found next to Terminal 5, has often been used by the royals including the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate.
There are eight private suites, but they come at a hefty price, costing £3000 (A$5700) for just three people.
The whopping price tag covers a series of luxuries during your time at the airport, including a chauffeur who picks you up from your door and takes you straight to the lounge, as well as takes you straight to the plane.
There is also a private butler, personal shopper, Michelin star food, and priceless artworks adorning the suites.
There are added security features too such as bombproof glass and anti-paparazzi nets to ensure privacy.
This level of luxury is not exclusive to the London airport, as airports in Germany, America, the UAE and even Australia boast a similar service to VIP travellers.
In Australia, the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge membership list includes the country’s top CEOs, A-list celebrities, and politicians.
The lounges are in six domestic airports across the country, and offer world-class dining hidden behind unmarked wood-panelled doors.
Former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce described the luxury as “probably the most exclusive club in the country” for those who are willing to spend big on the service before their flight.
