Four Seasons to Launch Private Jet in 2015
Guests at the Four Seasons will soon be able to book the ultimate room—in the company’s private jet. By early 2015, the Toronto-based luxury resort company will launch its branded Boeing 757, a first class experience complete with leather flatbed seats and handcrafted beds, gourmet meals, and personal entertainment systems for as low as $70,000 per person.
While this type of jet normally seats over 200 passengers, the Four Seasons’ will offer accommodations for 52 people. If that isn’t private enough, individuals can charter the plane starting at $110,000 per day. Just choose from one of its worldwide destination options and you’re off.
Flyers will enjoy plush carpeting throughout the plane and a full-service contemporary bathroom. Even in the air, the company hopes to create a “sexy bed experience,’’ reports CNBC, by offering all Four Seasons amenities from puffy duvet covers to special pillows and mattresses. Private chefs will be on stand-by to cook gourmet meals for guests, using locally-sourced ingredients, of course. Concierges will also be on board to help book spa treatments, golf tee time, and day trips in one of the many destinations on its travel menu.
Use of the plane requires one of two options: booking a destination package or chartering for private use. Packages include plane use, accommodations, and meals starting at $70,000 for 16 days and $120,000 for 24 days. Travelers can choose from exotic locations worldwide and sample the best food, stay in the top resorts, and attend tours with expert guides. A private booking will cost around $2 million for a 10-day trip and guests must also stay in a Four Seasons hotel.
Believe it or not, similar existing tours—such as Abercrombie and Kent—are selling out quickly. Some even say there are not enough of these tours available. Thankfully, the Four Seasons is stepping in.
