“Taking our legendary service to the skies is a natural extension of what we’ve been doing in our hotels for more than 50 years,” said Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts executive vice president marketing Susan Helstab.
“The Four Seasons Jet showcases the unforgettable people and experiences that make Four Seasons unique. It speaks to our pioneering spirit and the aspirations of today’s modern luxury traveller in an imaginative new way.”
The hotel group has already started taking reservations for the following trips:

Around the World, August 2015 – A nine-destination, 24-day trip, including stays in three of the newest Four Seasons hotels, plus the brand’s very first safari lodge in the Serengeti. It will visit Beijing, Marrakech, the Maldives, Tokyo and New York.
The jet will feature handcrafted leather flatbed seats, globally inspired cuisine and signature Four Seasons service – on board and on the ground. Global inflight Wi-Fi will keep guests and staff connected, so that spa treatments, tee times, private excursions and more can be arranged on the way to augment each itinerary. Travellers will also have access to exclusive experiences available only to Four Seasons Jet passengers.
“The decision to offer one-of-a-kind trips aboard a custom-designed Four Seasons Jet reflects an understanding of our guests’ evolving needs and preferences,” explained Helstab. “It recognises their desire to pair adventure and discovery with the luxury of a fully immersive Four Seasons experience.”
Each journey includes air travel and ground transportation, planned excursions, all meals throughout the trip and luxurious accommodations exclusively at Four Seasons.
