Exploring The Luxury of Private Travel
In the world of travel, private services surpass the ordinary. Unlike commercial travel, every journey is tailored to your desires and preferences on an individual level rather than to the masses. Free from the hassle and stress of commercial travel, many people prefer to spend extra money to make their journeys not only exclusive but more enjoyable and memorable. From sea to skies, let’s begin to uncover all the exclusive delights private travel offers.
Private Jets
There’s nothing quite like the experience of flying on a private jet, which is why it is considered a true luxury. Far removed from the hustle and bustle of your average airport, a private jet offers convenient, comfortable travel that makes every journey a breeze — goodbye travel anxiety! For many, one of the most appealing benefits of flying private is that you can choose when you want to take off and where you want to land, bypassing long security lines and crowded terminals — which is why many celebrities will opt for a more private entry. You cannot imagine Kim Kardashian waiting in line to board a plane.
Plus, unlike commercial flights, private jets are furnished with spacious leather-seated cabins. There are also full-size televisions with every streaming service and even beds for long-haul flyers, so no more queuing up for the toilet or suffering from severe leg aches.
Unless you are a celebrity and own a private jet, which is unlikely if you are reading this article, you can rent a plane out. Many air charters offer free quotes on their website. Still, according to this private jet charter company, depending on exactly where you travel to and what aircraft you choose, it can cost anywhere between $5,000 for a short-haul flight on a budget to $190,000 for a 14-and-a-half-hour flight traveling across the Pacific without stopping in a sixteen seater luxury aircraft.
RVs, Motorhomes, and Limousines
For those who love the open road, luxury RVs and motorhomes provide a home away from home, equipped with all the modern amenities you could ask for. Traveling this way offers a rare form of freedom with the comforts of home. You become the navigator, dictating your journey, allowing you to explore at your own pace without sacrificing comfort or spending a lot of money on accommodation. Motorhomes are an excellent option for weekend breaks too — as a couple or small family — visiting a new state or city on a budget, as all you need is money for gas and ensuring you have a well-stocked mini fridge.
Alternatively, if you are going out for the evening or organizing a special occasion like a birthday or a party, hiring a limousine or chauffeured car is the ultimate form of on-road luxury you can get. According to this company, large limos for six to ten people could cost you up to $90–$150 per hour, making the cost as little as $9 each if you all chip in. Not bad!
Private Yacht
Sailing the seas on your private yacht at the peak of summer is the very definition of freedom; unlike trains or planes, the journey is the destination (as long as you are not prone to seasickness).
Traveling privately on a boat is a peaceful and beautiful experience all at once, allowing you to visit secluded beaches and explore hidden coves all day long while appreciating the calm blue seas surrounding you. Many rental yacht services enable you to enjoy personalized services such as onboard crew and staff, including gourmet meals prepared by your dedicated chef and an equally dedicated bartender for unlimited cocktails. A yacht is perfect for those seeking a peaceful and luxurious ocean escape. According to Ocean Getaways, a superyacht rental could cost $4,000 per person/per week.
Private Trains
Luxury train travel offers an atmosphere of class, elegance, and nostalgia that you simply do not get from crowded, commercial trains — where the best possible scenario is an empty gray carriage to yourself to enjoy.
Here, you can sit back on a comfy couch and take in the passing scenes of natural beauty, surrounded by brightly furnished cabins. Fill up on fine dining with chefs preparing exquisite gourmet meals like pork belly and steak, and experience world-class service from experienced attendants that will ensure a memorable trip (including unlimited wine). These trains are designed to provide an experience where every detail, from carpets to bed linen, is carefully curated to guarantee every passenger gets to experience an authentic taste of the high life. If you were to book with The Luxury Train Club, an overnight ticket could cost as little as $100.
Helicopter
In contrast, travel by helicopter exemplifies all that modern travel offers in speed and accessibility, perfect for those who value their time and want to avoid the hassles of ground traffic. More than just being practical, helicopter flights provide an exhilarating way to travel, offering a bird’s-eye view of the world below and turning the journey into more of an adrenaline rush. Whether it’s soaring over cities, mountains, or coastlines, helicopters provide incredible views and Instagram-worthy photo opportunities.
But the appeal of helicopter services extends beyond just the views, with the convenience of landing much closer to your destination than a plane or train. This level of accessibility is especially beneficial in urban areas where helipads can be situated near business districts or luxury resorts, significantly reducing travel time and making it an ideal choice for travelers on a tight schedule. What’s more, helicopter services offer total privacy, allowing passengers to shape their travel experience to fit their needs and preferences. Free Tours by Foot has quoted $235 for a 15-minute ride.
What Will You Choose?
Once you experience private travel, you’ll never go back to wanting to commute commercially ever again. Private travel is more than just getting from A to B; it’s about making your journey part of the adventure. Whether it’s the exclusivity of a private jet, the peaceful isolation of a yacht, or the freedom of the open road, you’re guaranteed to enjoy yourself on your way. Explore any of these options to elevate your next journey and open up a new world of travel possibilities.
