PS At MIA: New Private Luxury Airport Facility, Opening Spring 2026

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 first location opened in 2017 in Los Angeles (LAX), the second location opened in 2023 in Atlanta (ATL), and there are two more locations expected to open next year, in Dallas (DFW) and Miami (MIA). In this post, I want to go over everything we know about the Miami location, as it has just seen its groundbreaking, and more renderings have just been unveiled.

PS facility opening at Miami Airport in 2026

Miami International Airport (MIA) has approved PS to develop a new private airport facility for commercial flights, expected to open in the spring of 2026. The groundbreaking has just happened, so work is underway, though a bit behind schedule (initially PS MIA was supposed to open in 2025).

This facility will have an epic home. PS MIA will be located in the historic former Pan American Airways (Pan Am) headquarters, and this project 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 will offer a unique pre-flight and post-flight experience, serving as an alternative from the main terminal for passengers traveling on commercial flights. The facility will feature both Private Suites (a private space) and The Salon (a shared lounge).

PS travelers will 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.

Here’s how Amina Porter, CEO of PS, describes the plans for PS MIA:

“As the nation’s busiest airport for international passengers, with more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other, MIA is an intuitive location for our expansion. We look forward to bringing the superior service and convenience for which PS is known to the discerning travelers that fly to and through Miami. We are grateful for the trust placed in us by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department and take seriously our stewardship of this iconic building.”

Is there a market for PS at Miami Airport?

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.

Just for some context, you can find the pricing for PS at LAX 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

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.

Bottom line

The PS concept is expanding to Miami, with a new facility expected to open in the spring of 2026. We’ve just seen the groundbreaking for this exclusive space, and it looks like it’s going to be pretty great. Miami seems like the perfect kind of place for a facility like this, and I’m sure this will succeed.

What do you make of the PS concept expanding to Miami?
