5 luxurious Private Jet Terminals that will make you want to check-in early

Private flying is often associated with tailored-service and extreme luxury. While this is mostly true for the flight itself, not all private airport terminals, and some of the businesses operating within them known as Fixed-Base Operators (FBO), offer equal amenities.

Some are simple places to refuel your jet, while others provide you with a five-star hotel lobby experience. The amenities are designed for comfort, whether that means a SPA treatment, savoring delicious food, taking a relaxing nap or having a meeting in a dedicated conference room.

Learn more about some of the world’s most luxurious FBO lounges as we gather five of our favorites:
