Welcome to the 1%’s new airport terminal. Los Angeles international airport on Thursday won approval to build a special terminal to allow celebrities1, sports stars and the world's wealthy to glide2 directly from their chauffeur-driven limo to their first-class seat without having to interact with any of the general travelling public.

欢迎来到这个百里挑一的新机场航站楼。洛杉矶国际机场在星期四获得批准，即将建立一个特殊的登机口，让名人、体育明星和世界上的富豪从他们的司机驾驶的豪华轿车直接顺利抵达头等舱座位，也不会遇到其它舱的乘客。
 
The airport's Board of Airport Commissioners3 unanimously approved LAX's plan to redevelop a cargo4 hangar into the US's first terminal dedicated5 to the rich and famous . The airport said the Los Angeles Suite6, which will allow celebrities and diplomats7 to avoid paparazzi, or protesters, by allowing cars to drop off guests behind closed doors, will be operational at a temporary facility within six months.
 
It will cost $1,500-$1,800 per trip to use the new terminal, which will include exclusive lounges, dedicated catering8 and separate security and border checkpoints. When it's time to board, guests will be driven directly to their plane. The plans promise that guests using the new terminal will have to walk about 60 steps, compared to as many as 2,200 from street to plane seat via the public terminals.
 
Airport officials said the new terminal is aimed at attracting more celebrities and business executives to LAX, and represented a much more cost-effective solution for them to avoiding unwanted attention than spending tens of thousands of dollars chartering a private jet.
 
Deborah Ale Flint, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports which operates LAX, said allowing celebrities a private route through the airport will also make travelling more pleasant for the general public, who have often been caught up in media scrums.
