Reverberate 3 is my favorite convolution style reverb. It’s nice that it has a lot of the biscotti reverb samples built in. The  Spectrasonic Seventh Heaven plugin is only $49 it operates from convolution reverbs. You can’t load your own, but it has a tremendous amount already built in.  Unlike reverberate 3,  it will only load one compilation file at a time. You cannot load you own convolution files. You have to use the built in ones. Liquidsonics is definitely a pro level plugin  vendor.

I'm gonna buy the license for Reverberate 3 when my trial license expires. $99.00 is not a bad price for me!

I'm very glad to hear that Reverberate 3 works for you! After all of my research on convolution reverbs, it is the one I decided to buy. I thought it might not work with JAWS because of the changes they made to the UI, including high DPI and scalability, but if it works, that's great!

As far as the price is concerned, $99 is a good value for all that it can do. From what I've seen, the only sale Liquidsonics offers is $20 off around Black Friday, in case that matters.

You may still want to download the impulse files available for free from Waves, if you haven't already. Most, if not all of them, are 96kHz/32bit files that were professionally recorded using full range audio signals instead of gunshots or balloon bursts, so they are very high quality. There is a wide selection of real spaces, including many typical music venues as well as some less conventional spaces such as cars, stairwells, outdoor, etc. It's hard to find impulses of real spaces for free, most of what is freely available are samples of other effects processors. The files have an extension of ".wir". As far as I know, the only plugins that can use them are Waves, of course, and the various versions of Reverberate. Please let me know if you have any questions about obtaining them.

I wonder if they have impulse responses of airport terminals.

This isn't exactly what you are asking about, but for vocals I really like neuro audio's Xvox pro, they claim it's not an algorithmic reverb but some kind of hybrid. However it is not a convolution but I really like the sound. You can do a free trial and in fact they may have another reverb they just came out with also for a free trial

I don't see any airport terminals listed. The closest to that might be a few arenas, stadiums and large hallways.

There's one here

EDIT:  direct link to the zip file as it was hard for me to find on the page

And you might be able to process these to extract an impulse
