LAX is planning to create a haven for the Hollywood set.
The Board of Airport Commissioners on Thursday approved the building of a VIP lounge at Los Angeles International Airport that is intended to be posh, private and paparazzi-free.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the lounge is an attempt to address the crush of photographers, fans and selfie-with-celebrity seekers that tend to crowd the busy central terminal.
Actors, musicians, athletes or anyone willing to pay the fees of up to $1,800 will be able to drive into a secure parking and drop-off area where they can relax in private suites until shuttles take them to gates at boarding time.
The lounge will be located in a converted cargo facility and be operated by an LA-based security firm.
Officials estimate that Los Angeles World Airports, the operator of LAX, would earn about $3.75 million in the first year, the Los Angeles Times reported.
