Four Seasons and NetJets, two iconic luxury brands seamlessly come together to create custom travel itineraries

Two companies born of the shared belief that traveling should be one of life’s most enjoyable and fulfilling endeavors, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and NetJets, the private aviation company, are joining forces to offer the ultimate in luxury in the sky and on the ground. The new collaboration offers bespoke service and seamless luxury travel with the introduction of three expertly curated vacation itineraries available to both NetJets Owners and Four Seasons guests.

“The complementary nature of our two companies lays the foundation for a strong global collaboration, combining the power of the NetJets private fleet – the largest in the world – with the renowned culture of service excellence that defines Four Seasons,” says J. Allen Smith, President, and CEO, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.  “Four Seasons has always been singularly focused on the luxury consumer – understanding their needs, looking at how they like to travel and recognizing opportunities to extend our offering in ways that fit their lifestyles.  These specially-designed itineraries offer the perfect opportunity for our guests – many of whom are already NetJets Owners – to enjoy exceptional service, flexibility and unmatched access to destinations around the world.”

In three uniquely designed itineraries – with each entirely customizable to suit traveler preferences – guests will be transported via a NetJets private jet to Four Seasons destinations, where they will have opportunities to enjoy a series of exclusive experiences.  Guests can choose from a winter mountain adventure on the soaring slopes of Jackson Hole and Vail, a tropical golf escape to the unspoiled Hawaiian island of Lanai, and a cultural immersion in France and Italy. Throughout their journey, air transportation will be arranged by NetJets, while Four Seasons will provide all accommodations and a dedicated concierge will customize each guest’s local itinerary.  The timing of these trips is flexible and available for parties of up to 14 guests – ideal for families, couples seeking a romantic getaway, or an intimate group of friends traveling together.

“This collaboration will open new doors to travelers, welcoming them into a world of access that only Four Seasons and NetJets can offer,” says Patrick Gallagher, EVP of Sales and Marketing, NetJets. “Our goal is to make the impossible possible as we invite our guests to experience exceptional private aviation.  Alongside the extraordinary experiences, Four Seasons creates, our combined dedication to providing bespoke service in every detail creates a rare opportunity for our guests to travel without compromise.”

NetJets Owners and Four Seasons guests will enjoy the freedom of traveling with a true peace of mind, never having to worry as every step of their journey is seamlessly executed. Passengers will have access to a Four Seasons Director of Guest Experience, a dedicated concierge who will work with each guest to customize the itineraries into one-of-a-kind experiences.

Upon landing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, one of the world’s premiere snow destinations, guests will be treated to a sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge en route to their Four Seasons Private Residence accommodations.  A dedicated Ski Concierge will lead a fitting for custom handmade skis for everyone before dinner at the Chef’s Table.  The next day is spent on the slopes with a US Olympian skier guiding guests through back country and out-of-bounds runs, highlighted by a special Four Seasons gourmet lunch in the mountains.  Day three takes guests via helicopter over the Grand Teton Range to Yellowstone National Park for a wildlife safari via snowmobile before an afternoon reserved for pampering in the Resort’s Spa.

Island Getaway
