Four Seasons Introduces 757 Private Jet Experience
Posted by*lucky
Four Seasons has just announced that they’ll soon be introducing a private jet experience. It will be a 757-200 aircraft with just 52 seats, and should start flying in February 2015. If the rendering on their website is accurate, I’d say that’s one sexy paint scheme, giving*Air New Zealand’s 787-9s a run for their money.
The 52 fully flat seats will be in a 2-2 configuration. They look nice though not like anything special, given that they’re pretty standard business class seats nowadays.
Here’s a video about the private jet:
If I’m reading this correctly, they’ll basically offer private jet “experiences,” whereby you can book a seat on an itinerary that stops in multiple cities with Four Seasons.
For example, the website has*an itinerary for February 9 through March 4, 2015, with the following stops:
Los Angeles, CaliforniaKona, HawaiiBora Bora, French PolynesiaSydney, AustraliaBali, IndonesiaChiang Rai, ThailandMumbai, IndiaIstanbul, TurkeyLondon, England
So while I assume you could purchase all 52 seats or pay to charter the whole jet, it sure seems like this is more of a charter experience than a private jet experience.
Anyway, given how remote a lot of Four Seasons properties are, it is pretty awesome to be able to fly to each destination in an aircraft with fully flat seats.
I can’t even imagine how expensive this is to operate, though. It’s not just the cost of operating a private jet, but the fact that it’s presumably sitting on the ground for days at a time at each stop.
And to some degree I have to wonder how much of a market there is for this. Millionaires probably couldn’t reasonably afford this, while billionaires would presumably want a more tailored experience than a month-long journey with 50 other people and no flexibility — they can just get their own jet. Maybe they’re going after “poor” hundred millionaires?*
