Where in the world will Four Seasons take you on its luxurious US$163,000-per-person jet trips?
- Hotel giant releases 2021 itineraries, such as 21-day Remote Wonders trip to Dubai, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangkok, Seychelles and Tanzania aboard converted Airbus
For some of the world’s wealthiest, checking off their travel bucket list just got easier.
In April, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts announced it was converting a narrow-body Airbus A321LR aircraft to replace its current plane, which premiered in 2015 for lavish group excursions.
The new jet has room for 48 passengers, larger bathrooms, more social areas and interactive workshops on-board.
Having a private jet gives travellers the flexibility to do a more global itinerary. … guests have the means to do one continent on their own, but a worldwide luxury trip would be difficult to pull together by themselves
Now the hotel giant has released its itineraries, set to take off in 2021. Two of the trips are back by popular demand.
The Timeless Encounters journey focuses on vibrant city centres and tranquil islands in nine destinations, while the International Intrigue trip is a four-continent trek through cultural capitals, remote islands and the African savannah.
Four Seasons has also designed two new offerings, using feedback from past customers, says Javier Loureiro, director of guest experience at Four Seasons. Repeat jet guests made up 34 per cent of its travellers in 2019.
“Having a private jet really gives you the flexibility to do a more global itinerary,” Loureiro says. While guests have the means to do one continent on their own, he says a worldwide trip of this level of luxury, with all its attendant activities would be much more difficult and time-intensive to pull together by themselves.
Four Seasons’ trips are definitely geared more towards the seasoned traveller, where they are at the point in their lives that they want to visit places they have never seen before with minimal pain to their bodies
For instance, one of the new offerings is the Remote Wonders trip, expected to take off on December 31, 2020.
