Jet-set Lifestyle for Hire

Once the preserve of CEOs, heads of state and inbred Eurotrash, with absolute comfort, complete courtesy, and flights whenever you want, the humble private jet is everything that Generic Air isn't. And of course it's entirely, well, private. For when you need your, you know, 'privacy'.

Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it sure can buy everything else. And that is precisely why we fancy a wee piece of the action. And like our beloved Classic Car Club in the air, the Private Jet Club now offers hope to we less fortunate, with what is essentially a 'chartered jet pool'

At a grand or two to Paris, and around ten to New York, it's hardly peanuts, but nor is it the £120k that you'd need to fly solo. As it's shared, you might want to put a hold on the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. But it's a private jet baby!

  • It's a Flat World

    Every region has its share of entrepreneurs. Silicon Valley has its high tech wizards, Milan its couturiers, and Nigeria its money transfer-challenged businessmen. Here, meanwhile, there's been no shortage of holiday flat renters.

  • Win a Luxury Boutique Hotel Stay

    Win a two night Barcelona & Discovery package at this luxury boutique hotel. One of our favourite Barcelona hotels, and most certainly our favourite rooftop pool.

  • Disturb, Bitte

    For all the high-end design, the sexual tension is evident from the moment you enter the lobby. Provided along with your room are an array of signs to hang off your door knob, including "Disturb, please." Everyone’s game here, except for the staff. Shame.

  • All Aboard

    Gran Clase used to be neither gran or with clase. Times change, though, and today Renfe is putting its new Talgo Trenhotel into service with larger beds, flat screens, and more luggage space as some of the novelties.

  • For Richer, For Poorer

    There's no denying it: Being married makes perfect financial sense - 1x2 is simply cheaper than 2x1. So put a ring on it, but do it cheaply. Say, by doing away with the party and moving the ceremony directly into the honeymoon.
