Manchester Airport’s revamped private terminal where you can dine on food curated by chef Adam Reid and be chauffeur-driven straight to your plane is officially open to passengers. The private terminal, called aether, offers a luxury airport experience, including an exclusive lounge area, a private security lane and incredible runway views.
aether provides a product which is “usually reserved for first and business class passengers”, yet what sets it apart from other private terminals is that it is open to all passengers at Manchester Airport, available as a purchasable service. There are several bookable packages available depending on the airline you’re flying with.
The ‘express’ package, which is £90 per person, allows guests with cabin bags only to pass straight through the terminal and head to the gate – this is open to any airline passenger. Those flying with any airline can purchase the ‘inclusive with cabin bags’ package, starting from £150 per person; while passengers flying with aether’s partner airlines, (British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Hainan Airlines, SAS, Turkish Airlines and Virgin Atlantic) can book the ‘inclusive + checked bags’ package, from £170 per person.
