Four Seasons' spectacular new private jet itineraries are quite something

Well, that is what Four Seasons are now offering with the introduction of three new first-of-their-kind private jet journeys, which will take off next year. With prices starting from $135,000 (£92,000), travellers with an appetite for the extravagant can choose between Four Seasons’ three new private jet itineraries -  Culinary Discoveries, International Intrigue and Extraordinary Adventures. The headline trip is 'Culinary Discoveries' - a three-week global expedition developed in partnership with one of the world's best restaurants, Copenhagen-based Noma, and its acclaimed head chef René Redzepi. It will take travellers on an extraordinary journey “to explore the people and places of many of the world's most exciting culinary destinations,” tracing food influences and cultures across Asia and Europe. Stopping at Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Chiang Mai, Mumbai, Florence, Lisbon, Copenhagen, and finally Paris, “guests will discover or reconnect with the cities and cultures that continue to shape the tastes and flavours of the world.”

"We have always enjoyed the opportunity to travel and explore, and to learn about the ingredients and cultures that have helped shape what people eat and how they cook," said Noma head chef René Redzepi. "From our team's travels across Scandinavia to relocating our restaurant to Tokyo and Sydney, our international journeys have helped expand our minds and our tastes, and influenced the creativity of the Noma kitchen. We look forward to working with Four Seasons to help develop their first-ever Culinary Discoveries journey, and to create an experience that is truly memorable." As well visiting some of the world’s best restaurants, authentic street food stalls and local farms and markets, guests will be taken to each location's historical and cultural landmarks  - all while staying exclusively at Four Seasons hotels and resorts.

Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, India Next up, 'Global Getaway' will allow guests to experience an exclusive array of experiences in Singapore, Koh Samui, Dubai, Budapest, Nice, Lisbon, Nevis, Bogota and Miami. Excursions will include camel rides, visits to nature reserves, FORMULA 1 Ferrari driving, and scaling Colombia's Cerro de Monserrate mountain via cable car, among others.

Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui The third private jet tour being launched in 2017 is ‘International Intrigue’, with stops in Seattle, Kyoto, Beijing, Maldives, Serengeti, Budapest, St. Petersburg, Marrakech and Boston over 24 days.

Through this collaboration and partnership with Noma we will explore new synergies and create a journey for our guests unlike any other."
