If you’re in the market for a really spendy vacation junket with itineraries that make ‘If It’s Tuesday It Must Be Belgium’ look like a slow-motion procession, then the Four Seasons private jet bucket list trips may be for you.
Operated by the Four Seasons luxury hotel chain, the itineraries fly from Four Seasons to Four Seasons on a luxury-fitted 48-seat A321, with 21 to 24-day routes that jump from continent to continent and price out at $190,000 per traveler and up. The A321 is new, replacing a 52-seat 757 that’s made the rounds for the past few years.
The on-board staff is a bit different from a normal air-crew; it includes a doctor, a chef and a Guest Services Manager. Oh, and pilots.
This year, they’ve added three new itineraries, for a total of seven. The new ones are
