任何经常飞行的人都熟悉这一整套流程:路上的拥堵、漫长的安检队伍、拥 挤的登机口、延误的登机通知。当你终于穿过安检,抵达那些宽阔得近乎空 旷的航空公司私人“豪华”休息室时,它们——委婉地说——既不够私密, 也从定义上并不真正奢华。人满为患,餐食与酒水平平,而且通常距离登机 口还有一段漫长步行。这样的体验已经成为旅行中如此寻常的一部分,以 至于我们大多数人早已不再质疑。 但 PS 质疑了它。 PS 隐于 LAX 主航站楼旁,如今也已进驻 Atlanta、Dallas-Fort Worth 与 Miami。它是一座专为商业航空旅客打造的私人航站楼。你依然搭乘自己 预订的航班,却可以绕过几乎所有人们不喜欢,甚至深感厌烦的机场环节。 “PS 在 Dallas Fort-Worth 与 Miami International 机场的近期启用, 是我们迈向 2030 年前将 PS 带到美国每一座主要机场这一愿景的重要一 步,”PS 首席执行官 Amina Belouizdad Porter 表示。 “随着我们不断扩 展,核心始终是重新想象机场体验,将五星级酒店般的私密、舒适与个性化 服务融入旅程本身。” 你无需再汇入出发层的车流,而是抵达一座低调的独立航站楼。专属团队 为你办理值机、处理行李,并带你通过私人 TSA 安检通道。没有拥挤的主 航站楼需要穿行,也无需在登机口等待。取而代之的,是一个更像精品酒店 或私人会员俱乐部的空间,而不是传统意义上的机场。 确切地说,这也正是 PS Terminal 的本质:一座属于旅行的私人俱乐部,一 座让每一步体验都变得亲密、定制、高效、友善而个人化的私人航站楼。PS 让旅行重新拥有愉悦感,也让人重新相信飞行可以是一段顺畅而美好的体 验。它就像是在搭乘私人飞机,却无需真正拥有私人飞机。你依然享有商业 航班的所有便利,却无需承受通往它的那段过于公共、过于繁复的过程。 在 PS,旅客可以选择 The Salon——一处设计优雅的共享休息空间,提供 主厨料理与鸡尾酒;也可以选择 Private Suite,配备专属服务团队、私人用 Anyone who flies regularly knows the routine. Traffic. Long security lines. Crowded gate areas. Delayed boarding. When you are done navigating security and make it to the cav- ernous airline private “luxury” lounges, they are—to put it delicately—not very private and, by definition, not very luxurious. They are oversubscribed, serve mediocre food and wine, and are usually located a mile’s walk to your aircraft. This experience has become such a normal part of travel that most of us don’t question it anymore. PS does. Hidden just adjacent to the main terminals at LAX, and now also operating at Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Miami, PS is a private terminal built exclusively for commercial airline passengers. You still fly on your scheduled airline. You simply bypass almost everything people dislike (even loathe) about the airport. “The recent openings of PS at Dallas Fort-Worth and Miami International airports represent a meaningful step in our vision to bring PS to every major U.S. airport by 2030,” says Amina Belouizdad Porter, CEO of PS. “As we expand, our focus remains on reimagining the airport experience by bringing the privacy, comfort, and personalized service of a five-star hotel into the journey itself.” Instead of joining the stream of cars at departures, you pull up to a discreet standalone terminal. A dedicated team checks you in, handles your luggage, and guides you through a pri- vate TSA checkpoint. There’s no crowded terminal to navigate and no gate to wait at. Instead, you settle into a space that feels more like a boutique hotel or a private membership club than an airport. To be clear, that is exactly what PS Terminal is. A private club for travel. A private terminal where every step of your experience is intimate, curated, efficient, friendly, and personal. PS restores the joy of travel and your faith in a seamless and enjoyable experience of flying. It’s like you are flying privately but without a private jet. You get all the advantages of flying your public scheduled airline and none of the challenges of the very public process of getting to it. At PS, travelers can choose between The Salon, a beautifully designed shared lounge with chef-prepared meals and cocktails, or a Private Suite complete with dedicated staff, private din- ing, a daybed, and its own restroom. Both offer the same seamless experience. The difference is simply how private you want it to be. 64 BALLIET + WANG LUXURY LIVING
