International private jet charter operator VistaJet is offering the most private and safest way to travel to luxury destinations as soon as we are able.
Picture the most stunning azure views from a private island in the Maldives, tours through sprawling French vineyards, or natural landscapes and epic adventures in the Galapagos… Yes, the urge to travel is stronger than ever before. And while relentless wanderlust remains during these pandemic-ridden times, what can we do right now? Well, we can plan. After all, adventure awaits, as VistaJet‘s portfolio of private and safe journeys for members suggests.
According to a study by Private Jet Card Comparisons, COVID-19 coronavirus risk is 30 times lower on private jets. In fact, the number of touch points significantly decrease when flying private and results in only 20 interactions as opposed to 700 when flying commercial. It’s no wonder more potential travellers are looking into safer and more reliable alternatives for peace of mind.
Enter VistaJet’s collection of World Safe Havens, a partnership with world-leading experts and properties, to allow members to travel privately, and safely. So, as we plan our travels for the future, here are their exclusive point-to-point journeys (from flight to destination) to inspire you for your next trip.
