PS (which was initially founded in 2017 as The Private Suite) is a company that operates exclusive airport facilities, intended to allow people to bypass the typical airport experience, when flying commercially. The company’s latest outpost has just opened at Miami International Airport (MIA), so if you have $1,295 to drop to enhance your pre-flight experience, listen up!
Miami Airport’s new private terminal for commercial flights
PS has just opened a new private airport facility for commercial flights at Miami International Airport (MIA), with the ribbon cutting having taken place yesterday (Wednesday, June 17, 2026).
For us aviation geeks, the facility has an absolutely epic home. PS MIA is located in the historic former Pan American Airways (Pan Am) headquarters, which initially opened back in 1963, and was dubbed the “Taj Mahal.” Pan Am went out of business in 1991, so this space has been empty for quite some time.
As it’s described, PS MIA is “dedicated to preserving the building’s iconic mid-century brutalist architecture, while seamlessly integrating finishes and furniture that reference important aspects of the period, Miami’s lively culture and Palm Beach glamour.”
PS offers a unique pre-flight and post-flight experience, serving as an alternative from the main terminal for passengers traveling on commercial flights. The facility takes up 34,000 square feet, and features nine Private Suites (offering a private space for each traveling party) and The Salon (a shared lounge).
PS travelers have access to private TSA and immigration screenings on-site, as well as a BMW chauffeured escort to and from the jet bridge stairs of their commercial flights. While at the facility, you can arrange everything from chef prepared meals, to spa treatments.
For context, the first PS location opened in 2017 in Los Angeles (LAX), the second location opened in 2023 in Atlanta (ATL), and the third location opened in 2026 in Dallas (DFW). So with both the DFW and MIA locations opening just weeks apart, we’ve seen the company’s portfolio double in a very short period of time.
The PS MIA experience starts at $1,295-4,950 per visit
So, how much will a visit to PS MIA cost you? Just for some context, you can find the pricing for PS here:
- Without a membership, you’ll pay $1,295 per person for access to The Salon (a shared space), or $4,950 for up to four travelers to access a Private Suite (a private space)
- With the $1,250 The Salon annual membership, you’ll pay $995 per person for access to The Salon, or $4,950 for up to four travelers to access a Private Suite
- With the $4,850 All Access annual membership, you’ll pay $895 per person for access to The Salon, or $3,650 for up to four travelers to access a Private Suite
I totally get how there’s value for something like PS at LAX, given the number of celebrities and other very wealthy people passing through the airport, and what a mess the airport can be. Arguably the biggest challenge PS faces is that it’s going after a market of wealthy people who don’t fly private.
Of course that market exists, and it’s significant. But PS is also expensive, so even someone who is well off might think twice about it. That’s especially true when you consider that travel doesn’t have to be a hassle nowadays, with programs like TSA PreCheck, CLEAR, Global Entry, etc.
Maybe I’m biased, but living in Miami, I absolutely see this succeeding, given how people like to live it up in flashy ways. It blows my mind how many people here spend more on their car lease than their rent. Having a Lamborghini and living in a small studio is par for the course in Miami.
I imagine this is also a splurge that many would consider. In Miami, people drop this kind of money without thinking twice about it all the time, and I imagine using this facility will quickly become a flex. How will you know if someone used PS MIA? Oh, trust me, they’ll tell you about it!
Bottom line
The PS concept has now expanded to Miami, with a new facility having opened as of June 2026. PS MIA is located in the former Pan Am headquarters, and looks gorgeous. The idea is that you can skip the terminal, and instead hang out in the lounge, clear security at a private TSA checkpoint, and then be driven to your plane.
As you’d expect, all of this doesn’t come cheap, and without a membership, you’re looking at paying a minimum of $1,295 per person per visit for the experience. Miami seems like the perfect kind of place for a facility like this, and I’m sure this will succeed. As an aviation geek, I also appreciate the building that’s housing this concept.
What do you make of the PS concept expanding to Miami?
