“I work in the luxury travel industry. There are lots of good stuff here that you’ve never heard of.”
“1) Invite-only luxury travel collections, like exclusive resorts. Think of it like a country club, but for travel. You pay a membership fee upfront (packages range between $100k – $250k). Once you are a member, you have access to a huge network of ultra-luxury rental properties around the world with basically guaranteed availability.
2) Want a penthouse apartment in Monaco for the Formula 1 weekend? Ski-in chalet in Aspen over Christmas and New Year’s week? Luxury apartment near the Super Bowl or World Cup Final? Your personal travel concierge will take care of that.
3) Expeditions that can fly you on a private jet to an ice runway at their camp in Antarctica, and then (optionally) onwards to the South Pole. Starts around $110k per person.
4) You can charter a luxury polar expedition ship for about $2-$5M for a 10-day expedition around Svalbard or Antarctica.
5) Other services are things like traveling nannies for your kids.
6) Also, helicopter charter on-demand. Own a mega yacht with a helipad, but don’t want the hassle of helicopter ownership? However, you do want full helicopter service on your yacht just for the 3-5 times a year that you are on it? There are companies that will match you up with a helicopter/pilot/crew on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.”
