You Love Cruising, So How About Jet Cruising?

This is the ultimate in luxury travel, and it should be on YOUR bucket list!

Your time is valuable, and your vacation should be exciting, enriching, worry-free and fulfilling in a style that is all your own.

This is a magic carpet journey - so many places in luxury and style! The "Around the World" is a 22-day luxury journey leaving this October and visiting Seattle, Manchuria, the Gobi Desert, Siem Reap, Kathmandu, Baku, Moscow, Bordeaux, and Boston.

For the person who has done everything, going on a luxury trip by private jet is no more expensive than a suite on a cruise ship. You have no airport hassles since they use private airports or private VIP terminals at commercial airports, no TSA lines, no baggage check-in, and no baggage claim. You just “hop on and hop off” your own private jet.

I love the fact that you leave when the pilot has everyone on board - no lining up waiting for the control tower to say you are next! I’ve used the private jets for many corporate incentive trips and it’s a wonderful way to travel.  On a recent trip, the jet next to us at the airport was none other than Air Force One.

You are with 52 passengers - not 280+ on a Boeing 757 - or only 14 passengers on the continental jet tours.  You leave your bags in a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton room, and magically, you find your bags at the next destination.   All sightseeing is included in the price.  All dining is "a la carte" throughout the trip, as well as “dine by choice” at restaurants of your choice in the major cities visited.

They have an outstanding list of people who are the Tour Managers, who are highly qualified for that particular part of the world - people like Lynne Leakey, who leads the Eastern African tour.

On board your 757, all seats are first class, with over six feet between the rows. Your chef prepares your meal, when you want it - no airline catering on this aircraft! The journey is properly paced, with a majority of three-night stays at five-star hotels at each destination. The sightseeing excursions are all included, and on the ground, you move in small groups of 12-14 travelers, never herded as a group of 50.  The second day in each destination allows for your preference of tours or sightseeing.

More than 60 percent of the guests are repeat customers, so these people know the advantages of traveling in style. The aircraft has a unique, separate Sky Lounge for guests' socializing, mingling and dining.    

There are other options as well, like 16 days in Europe, 19 days in Africa, or 20 days in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. These are the best of the best in all-inclusive travel. There are no overnight flights on Lakani Jet Tours - there is no fun in being exhausted and herded on a trip, and having many large-group buffet meals.

This is the ultimate in luxury travel. If you have already rented a villa in Tuscany complete with chauffeur and chef, or a yacht in Greece with crew, then this is something you would enjoy.  If God could choose a way to travel, this would be it.
