Chrissy Teigen just revealed how celebrities avoid public airport terminals. In a Twitter Q&A, she explained that celebs pay for a membership to a private terminal. Celebs still go through security, but then a car takes them directly to the plane.

In 2026, high-profile travelers and celebrities rarely wait in standard airport lounges. At major hubs like LAX, they use the "Private Suite" (PS), a luxury terminal entirely separate from the main building. Here, they have individual soundproof suites with a private bathroom, a stocked pantry, and a dedicated team of agents. They do not walk through the main terminal; instead, a private TSA team screens them within the facility, and a BMW or Mercedes-Benz drives them across the tarmac directly to the aircraft stairs. For commercial flights, airlines like Emirates, Lufthansa, and Air France offer exclusive First Class terminals (like the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt) where celebrities are assigned a personal assistant. Some also use FBOs (Fixed-Base Operators), which are small, private terminals for those flying on chartered or private jets. These facilities prioritize "discretion and speed," ensuring that the celebrity transitions from their car to the plane in under 15 minutes without ever encountering a crowd or a paparazzi lens.
