San Francisco Moves To Build Private Luxury Airport Terminal (theguardian.com) 176

Posted by BeauHD from the pay-to-play dept.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: The [San Francisco international airport] is hoping to build a brand-new terminal exclusively for passengers who pay a premium, gaining access to a luxurious airport experience complete with private security lines and valet service from terminal to tarmac. It will service commercial flights, not business or corporate jets, and the terminal will have its own Transportation Security Administration (TSA) lines as well as Customs and Border Protection (CBP) lines for international travel.

SFO is seeking bidders to take on the development, construction and operation of the private terminal, which is planned for a 75,000-sq-ft site located across the runway from all current public terminals. The airport will accept proposals between late September and early October, and is looking to award a contract by early December with hopes of opening the terminal in late 2028. [...]

If SFO is successful, it would become the next major American airport to open a luxury terminal. Los Angeles, Dallas Fort Worth, Miami and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta international airports all offer a private terminal through PS (formerly known as the Private Suite), a company owned by security firm Gavin de Becker and Associates. Multiple representatives from PS and Gavin de Becker and Associates attended a June conference hosted by SFO about the private terminal, and PS has said it hopes to open a private terminal at every major US airport by 2030. The report notes that access to existing PS private terminals "can cost passengers $1,295 for a one-time experience, or up to $4,850 for a yearly membership."

You probably never even had access to an airline lounge until some recent credit card perk. And it's excessive credit card perks that has created the need for private terminals.

          Housing, healthcare and education come to mind.

          Las Vegas is a good example. If you dig around you can find interviews where people who work there talk about how they don't care about the middle income guys and gals anymore and that the strip only caters to the wealthy. They can make a lot more money going after Big spenders even if you're not talking about the casinos so they can price everybody else out of the market and just focus on the rich.

          Video games are becoming like that. So our cars. Every year the price of them shoots up relative to everybody's income. The only thing keeping us from a complete disaster really is old inventory. Used video game consoles and computer components that can still play some games. Or in the case of cars literally used cars. You're seeing people driving stuff that's 15 or 20 years old and a curmudgeonly old fart will tell you that's fine because they imagine that's how frugality looks when in reality an old car breaks down a lot and generally isn't worth the trouble unless you're flat broke...

          This is one of the problems I think people have. People have a hard time understanding a process that is happening. Everything has to be all or nothing, black and white. So basic aspects of human civilization of rapidly becoming so expensive that what we used to think of as the middle class can no longer afford them. But it's happening gradually over time and over a large population and that's just too much for most people. If it's not here today gone tomorrow they can't understand what's happening

My anecdotal experience is that despite global trends they are actually inversely proportional at the local level. Of course poor people around here can also afford cars, which is probably also not true globally.

      This is a horrible idea. This will just take money away from having decent public airports and reduce the incentive to provide them. We don't need more ways for the rich to separate themselves from everyone else.

      Whilst I'm no fan of the uber wealthy (I'm not at the point of saying we should eat them, but we do need to tax and control them better before we are at that point) this is actually a more sound business move. Most large airports have a "hidden" private terminal that the wealthy can use to avoid the hoi-polloi. London Heathrow has one, it costs £2,500 a person and that's just paid to the airport. In effect it ends up subsidising the other airport operations (better than having overpriced restaurants a

    So basically through a loophole they can get more government manpower per traveller for a small subset of their customers.

      TSA (in SFO, it is actually a private contractor) is paid by fees paid by airlines by the travelling public. In this case, the private terminal will pay for any extra staff (at least that is the way it has worked elsewhere, and while I have not read the entire RFP, I expect the same will happen in this case).

      WTF are you talking about. There's no loophole here. Airports pay for government manpower and in this case are charging the rich a premium for a premium experience. That's it. Poor people aren't subsidizing anything.

    So... ordinary airport before enshitification ?

    Air travel used to be pretty cool. Now absolutely every part of it is annoying. Especially the booking and its 25 upsale offers.

    A few years more of this and you'll have to book business just to get a seat and fresh air.

    • I see someone doesn't remember history. Air travel hasn't been enshitified in the slightest. It's been encheapified and made available to others. Do you fondly look back on people taking your bags for you, short security lines, lots of leg room and nice food? All of that is still available for you, all you need to do is stop clicking the cheapest price you see every time you fly.
