For decades, luxury travel has been synonymous with private jets, VIP lounges, and exclusive airport
terminals reserved for the ultra-elite. But aether, the groundbreaking private terminal at Manchester Airport, is changing the rules, offering a seamless, high-end travel experience to all passengers, regardless of their ticket class.
Luxury Without Limits
Unlike traditional private jet terminals across Europe, which cater solely to high-net-worth
individuals and corporate flyers, aether is redefining the airport experience by making exclusivity
accessible to commercial travellers. Whether flying in economy or first class, passengers can enjoy
private check- in, fast-track security, and a chauffeur-driven transfer directly to their departure
gate.
With packages starting at just £110, aether ensures that luxury travel is no longer limited to
those with a private aircraft at their disposal. Instead, it brings a first-class airport
experience to anyone seeking comfort, privacy, and efficiency.
A Culinary Experience by Adam Reid aether’s commitment to excellence extends beyond streamlined
travel services, it also delivers an unparalleled dining experience, curated by award-winning
Manchester-born chef Adam Reid. Best known for his time at The French at The Midland Hotel and his
victory on the Great British Menu, Reid has crafted an exclusive menu that transforms airport
dining into an art form.
The result? A menu that blends refined, accessible cuisine with the relaxed sophistication of
aether’s luxury lounge, ensures travellers begin their journey with a memorable culinary moment.
