Chauffeur service
It’s not known if Kate and William use the car service – what with their status and hefty team of security – but the VIP experience starts on your doorstep. A top-of-the-range chauffeured BMW will pick you up at your home or hotel and take you to a private entrance at the airport to ensure security, privacy and discretion – it’s so secret, we don’t know where it is!
Dedicated doormen
A doorman with top hat and tails will greet you upon arrival and send your luggage to be screened and safely stowed on the plane. Then you’ll be whisked away to a private lounge just for you.

The luxury lounge
William and Kate will feel right at home in a luxury lounge, with the stylish rooms feature artwork curated by Tanya Baxter Contemporary. Plus there’s a squishy sofa, luxe arm chairs and a formal dining table, a nice big telly and your own loo of course!
Forget your usual Pret sarnie or McDonald’s breakfast – Heathrow VIP cook up a seasonal menu designed by British Michelin starred chef Jason Atherton. Enjoy a light snack or go all out with a three-course dinner, washed down with a glass of champagne. Priya Malhotra, head of Heathrow VIP, told Business Insider: “You can order from the menu as much as you want. “You can even order the entire menu and drink me out of Dom – please do so, but I might be grumpy.”
Shop and skip security queues
Personal shoppers are on hand to help you buy designer bits and bobs in the terminals. Immigration and customs are sorted in the lounge and best of all, you get your own security lane which “takes about 30 seconds” to get through according to Malhotra. When it’s time to board, your private BMW will drive you to the plane – what a treat.
Providing you’re a first or business class ticket holder, you can splash out on the service for £2,750 (around £3,300 with VAT) one way.
