ROYAL TREATMENT AT HEATHROW By ELAINE GLUSAC

Any commoner with deep pockets can now get the sort of arrival and departure service at Heathrow Airport near London usually reserved for royalty and popes.

The new Heathrow by Invitation service offers travelers access to 20 newly remodeled private lounges formerly exclusively used for visiting dignitaries.

Unlike other airport concierge services that specialize in gate-to-curb escorts and tout expedited security and immigration lines, Heathrow by Invitation will send a car to pick you up when you land, speeding you to a private suite without your ever setting foot in the terminal. Employees collect and deliver your bags to the suite, where customs and immigrations officials will process your arrival, rather than forcing you to queue with the masses.

Outbound trips offer reverse suite-to-jet delivery, though everybody — regardless of wealth or title — must pass through airport security screening. Here it is done in a private security area.
The service costs £1,500 per group (about $2,395 at $1.59 to the pound) for parties of up to six people, and is available with all carriers except American Airlines.
