| Research Tips: | * | Blue Star Jets is a US-based company operating worldwide offering regular flyers (it is aimed at business travellers) an 'anytime/anyplace' service at 4 hrs notice. Their business model is a bit like a fractional ownership scheme without the ownership or membership fees. |
| * | Until recently Flights of Fantasy was well-known brand name for luxury travel packages on Concorde operated by Goodwood Travel, but the demise of supersonic travel put paid to that. Now (May 2005) the people behind the long-haul travel, flights & cruising agency/operator, Voyana, are using the Flights of Fantasy name for their latest venture - luxury private jet tours. All trips (eg seven days air cruise to Cairo, India & Jordan, a Christmas fantasy break to Lapland, or a luxury tour to St Petersburg & Moscow) are escorted by a guide and a tour director. So, this is 'scheduled' rather than 'chartered' luxury breaks by private jet. |
| * | Flightseeing.co.uk is an agency for aerial sightseeing tours in the USA, Canada and Australia. |
| * | The Oberoi Hotel group also offers a private jet charter service |
| * | Lufthansa Private Jet offer a European-wide private jet charter service |
