Supporting Comments
The proposed itinerary is a draft of a possible Around the World with Raffles private jet journey. The itinerary
can be adjusted and inclusions altered. As a matter of fact I would strongly recommend to hold detailed
discussions with the Head Concierge in each hotel to solicit input in creating unique and memorable
experiences in the destinations visited.
Aircraft Options
The pricing includes the services of an experienced and dedicated team of ‘on tour’ professionals who will
ensure a smooth and seamless travel experience. One of the team members is a qualified Doctor.
At this stage there are no set dates, no services are booked or contracted. If and when AccorHotels decides
they would like to proceed I will prepare a proposal on how the above can become reality. Generally, lead in
time between launch and operation should be between 18 and12 months before departure.
