Guests will take to the skies on a spiffy, brand-spanking new 48-passenger jet—decked out with a re-designed, spacious lounge area, a spot for interactive inflight workshops and purpose-built personal ottomans at each seat that let you visit with your neighbors before touching down at a destination where you’ll spend the night at a swanky Four Seasons property.
