The A&K team far exceeded our expectations. I would have kept going for another month with this team and this group.

— Meg H.; Chicago, IL, Private Jet Guest

“A trip of a lifetime” doesn’t begin to explain the experience. We felt like dignitaries flying around the world being celebrated with a “parade” at each destination arrival.

— Kim M.; West Vancouver, British Columbia Private Jet Guest

I was thrilled by the whole experience and loved it all! The staff was the best — could not want for more care, concern, humor, knowledge and fun. The private jet was a wonderful experience: comfortable, good food and the best flight attendants I have ever had.

— Bobbie G.; La Jolla, CA Private Jet Guest

It’s impossible to pick a favorite experience — there is not enough space to write that novel. I loved everything!

— Rom U.; White Rock, British Columbia Private Jet Guest
