Discover More of the World With VistaJet’s Once-in-a Lifetime Global Travel Exclusives

NEW YORK, Oct. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VistaJet, the first and only global private aviation company, announced today the launch of VistaJet World, presenting a comprehensive portfolio of one-of-a-kind, multi-stop travel adventures tailored around its Members’ passions. To celebrate the company’s 15^th anniversary, the program highlights 15 exclusive journeys to experience the most remote and thrilling adventures around the world.

As the global UHNW population is forecast to rise by around 41% from 2017 levels by 2022¹,  demand for service, personalized attention and exclusivity of experience will continue to increase. VistaJet researchers identified that changing consumer preferences and priorities are redefining the concept of global travel, now considered the second most favored focus for discretionary spending². A high appreciation of different cultures and a prioritization of experiences over ownership of goods have resulted in UHNW travelers seeking deeper travel experiences, as 20% of private jet travelers take at least one experiential trip every year³.

Travels are often initiated as a means to discover new horizons or gain a heightened insight into personal interests. For VistaJet Members, the most recurring reasons for leisure travel by private jet are:

• Philanthropy – holidays with influence featuring prominently
• Adventure – surrounded by incredible scenery
• Art and music – with a specific interest in opera
• Nature and animals – with an emphasis on protection
• Dining discoveries – comparing tastes from all over the world

To better serve its customers and provide the inspiring travel adventures they desire, VistaJet established a Private Office in 2016 as a dedicated team providing Members with bespoke services and access to the world’s most incredible experiences. Today, partnering with a network of world-leading travel experts including Blue Marble Private, Based on a True Story, Indagare, Nota Bene Global and Pelorus, the VistaJet Private Office can serve this increasing demand for the perfect personalized journey through VistaJet World – the new service offering life-enriching journeys for all types of travelers.

Serving as inspiration, the portfolio of 15 exceptional VistaJet World journeys include:

Sardinia will be the host of the best traditional cuisine and some of the most loved Italian wines – a surprising secret behind Sardinians’ longevity. In Palm Springs, guests will be hosted at Korakia, situated next to the Loma Linda community where residents are 10 times more likely to live to 100 than typical Americans. History, traditions and moai in Japan’s Okinawa will allow guests to immerse themselves in the world of the near-immortals, before leaving footprints on private sandy beaches on Mykonos, Greece. 

Other unforgettable adventures include joining the great Maharajas of India in their palaces; abseiling over the edge of the active Vanuatu Volcano; becoming the first civilians to take flight in an anti-poaching safari flight hosted by the Born Free Foundation and UV night skiing to discover unexplored massifs. In addition to customizing each VistaJet World experience, journeys can also be built exclusively for individual Members based on their interests, through the support of the Private Office and network of travel partners.

Leading the curve in travel innovation, wealthy travelers have the means to seek more of the world, yet much of it is still undiscovered and only easily accessible by private jet. Due to their size and flexible landing capabilities, private aircraft are able to use five times more airports than commercial aircraft, opening up a whole world of unseen travel possibilities.

With a global Operations Center in Malta and having already flown to 96% of the world, VistaJet has the experience and expertise to take customers anywhere. The potential of discovery and adventure are endless.
