I\u2019ve travelled just about everywhere, and I\u2019ve been on <em>plenty<\/em> of planes. I never want a flight to last longer.<\/p>\n<p>But I quickly learned that being on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/privatejet\/\">Four Seasons Private Jet<\/a> is like no other flying experience, even if you\u2019ve flown private. The Jet itself is dazzling: a sleek black Boeing 757 outfitted with just 52 white Italian leather flat-bed seats. As I boarded, the staff was waiting to escort me to my seat. And what a seat it was, topped with a plush orange cashmere blanket and throw pillow. The Jet&#8217;s comfort and style were just two of the many (wonderful) surprises during my 19-day journey around the world.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_2\"

Global Guest Services Manager Ashley Peterson had been in close touch before my departure from New York City, arranging every detail. When I landed at Heathrow, a driver was waiting to whisk me away in a Mercedes to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/london\/\">Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On my arrival, it looked as though the entire Hotel staff had turned out to greet me. Journey Manager Jill came to the room and tagged my bags. She promised that I would never have to lift or check in a suitcase over the next 19 days.<\/p>\n<p>I could get used to this. And it turns out that some people do.<\/p>\n<p>On the first night of the trip, I met two couples who were on their second private\u00a0jet journey. Jean and her husband, Sal, raved about their previous experience \u2013 the friends they had met, the food, the indelible memories. Jean admitted that before their first trip, she had thought of it as something to do once in a lifetime. But she quickly realized that there was no better way to see the world.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_6\" class=\"body-block body-block-infographic large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/privatejet\/\">                                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/2_final-1.jpg\" class=\"infographic-image\" alt=\"2. you&#039;ll love the ride.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/2_final-1.jpg 970w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/2_final-1-300x82.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/2_final-1-768x209.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>                                <\/a>            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_7\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<header class=\"block-header text-block\">\n<h2 class=\"block-title\">And won\u2019t want to get off the plane<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p>I can see why they&#8217;re repeat travellers \u2013 it&#8217;s easy to make yourself at home on the Jet. With six-and-a-half feet of space, I could stretch out forever. A fluffy down blanket and pillow, along with a pair of silk eyeshades, were ready in case I wanted to sleep. There were enough amenities to keep me entertained for hours on end. Stacks of magazines. An iPad loaded with movies and music. A pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones. As it turned out, I never could find the time to read all the magazines and watch all the movies.

Perhaps it was partly the highly calibrated LED lighting system that was programmed to regulate your mood by emitting calming shades of violet and blue. But it was also the gracious staff. They seemed to anticipate my every need. Just when I was feeling a little pang of hunger, there they were with snacks.<\/p>\n<p>The pilots made the flights amazing, too. I will never forget flying from Arusha, Tanzania \u2013 the gateway to the Serengeti \u2013 to Pisa, Italy. The pilot decided to circle over the peak of Kilimanjaro, once for the passengers on the left side of the plane, another time for the people on the right side, allowing everyone a glimpse of this majestic mountain from the air.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_10\" class=\"body-block body-block-infographic large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/privatejet\/\">                                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/3_final-1.jpg\" class=\"infographic-image\" alt=\"3. anything is possible\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/3_final-1.jpg 970w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/3_final-1-300x82.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/3_final-1-768x209.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>                                <\/a>            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_11\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<header class=\"block-header text-block\">\n<h2 class=\"block-title\">The journey staff will make your wildest dreams come true<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p>Javier Loureiro, the Director of Guest Experience and Onboard Concierge,\u00a0is the master of ceremonies on this very special journey.

No problem \u2013 they&#8217;ll\u00a0take care of it.<\/p>\n<p>I encountered a small but perfect example of this make-it-happen-in-a-minute approach in London. I realized that I had forgotten to bring a converter, and happened to mention it to Ashley. No problem, she said, and immediately sent one to my room.\u00a0In fact, no matter what the other passengers or I needed, no matter when we needed it, the staff would appear, snap their fingers, and . . . presto!

Would I get tired of being with the other passengers? And what would they be like? Snooty and unfriendly? Affable but clingy?<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that I wasn\u2019t alone in having these concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to admit, before we took our first trip, we were worried that the other people would be aloof,\u201d admitted Robert, a passenger from Virginia. But that wasn\u2019t the case. He and his partner Michael\u00a0ended up liking the experience and the group so much that they returned for a second trip\u00a0in less than a year. This fall, they&#8217;ll take\u00a0another one.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, I discovered that sharing experiences with the other people enriched the journey. I think my sides still hurt from laughing so hard over cocktails with one couple at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/london\">Four Seasons London.<\/a> I was invited to another guest&#8217;s\u00a0birthday party in Italy. And seeing a ballerina do a private performance of the exquisite \u201cDying Swan Ballet\u201d brought tears to my eyes \u2014 and did the same for many of my fellow travellers. We all shared a very moving moment that we will remember forever.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_15\" class=\"body-block body-block-infographic large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/privatejet\/\">                                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5_final-1.jpg\" class=\"infographic-image\" alt=\"5. it starts with a suitcase\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5_final-1.jpg 970w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5_final-1-300x82.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5_final-1-768x209.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>                                <\/a>            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_16\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<header class=\"block-header text-block\">\n<h2 class=\"block-title\">Packing is part of the adventure<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p>Before the trip, I fretted endlessly about what I would pack for three weeks away in six places with radically different climates and activities: snow, tropics, safari and so on.<\/p>\n<p>I started strategizing and put together mood boards for the various experiences. I packed, I repacked. I went shopping. I ordered online. I did some more shopping. I thought about what I could buy on the road. (I knew in advance, for instance, that a kaftan would be coming home with me from Dubai.) At one point, I considered hiring a stylist to help me put together my travel wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_17\" class=\"body-block

through the Hotel lobby, clad head to toe in white cashmere. I had the Hotel\u2019s Rolls-Royce chauffeur me to Bond Street, where I spent a pretty penny on last-minute wardrobe additions in order to keep up with the group \u2013 or at least what I thought the group would be like.<\/p>\n<p>I soon discovered that the cashmere-clad woman wasn\u2019t on the trip \u2014\u00a0and the rest of the Jet travellers\u00a0were dressed just like me.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back, I have to laugh. The packing that I initially thought of as simply stressful turned out to be a meaningful part of the journey. It was a way to start the journey long before the jet actually took off.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_19\" class=\"body-block body-block-infographic large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/privatejet\/\">                                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/6_final-1.jpg\" class=\"infographic-image\" alt=\"6.

Sure, there are gala evenings, like the one we spent in Florence, dining with nobility in the villa that their family has owned since 1489. But we didn\u2019t sit down to fine dining, serenaded by violinists and opera singers, twice a day. In fact, some of the simplest meals turned out to be the most memorable.<\/p>\n<p>In Dubai, a group of us toured a residential neighbourhood with Arva Ahmed, an entrepreneurial foodie who owns a cool company called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fryingpanadventures.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frying Pan Adventures<\/a>. She led us through the colourful pathways of her hometown, taking us to Middle Eastern street food spots. One of the highlights was going to an Emirati restaurant where the locals sit on the floor and eat with their hands. She taught us how to use our hands, too \u2013 turns out there are several techniques.<\/p>\n<p>In the Serengeti, we went on a walk with the Maasai guides and tasted herbs picked from the ground. We went hunting for truffles in Italy and sampled them fresh from the woods. In the Seychelles, the chefs prepared a traditional Creole rum dinner on the beach where some of the braver passengers and I tried local delicacies, like bat. (Tasted like chicken!)<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of mixing in experiences like this is that they allowed us to immerse ourselves deeply in the culture \u2014\u00a0and to get to know a country through its unique tastes and flavours.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_21\" class=\"body-block body-block-infographic large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/privatejet\/\">                                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/fsmag-ecs.paceinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/7_final-1.jpg\" class=\"infographic-image\" alt=\"7.

As the days went on, I came to realize that each adventure on this journey is orchestrated to be just as dazzling as the others.
