TCS World Travel outfitted plane
Private jet tour operator TCS World Travel is celebrating reaching the milestone of 250 trips with an Around the World Classic trip beginning Sept. 29, 2016.
The 24-day tour, through Oct. 22, 2016, is an elevated version of previous worldwide journeys, with exclusive events and personalized experiences along the way as travelers visit nine different destinations on a private Boeing 757 jet. Involving consumers in a milestone celebration can create shared memories and show appreciation for loyalty.
Around the world in 24 days
TCS’ world tour celebrates the brand's 20th anniversary. Along the way, guests will attend a gala dinner in Agra, India, hop aboard a luxury chartered train complete with dinner and music to travel to Macchu Picchu and savor a private dinner at Angkor Park in Cambodia while traditional dance gives insight into the local culture.
Other highlights include a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti Plain in Tanzania and a guided tour of the moai on Easter Island with the land’s former governor and museum founder.

Based on double occupancy, the trip begins at $76,950 per person. TCS is anticipating high demand, which it is assuaging with a second similar trip in 2017. The all-inclusive trips include luxury sleeping accommodations, ground transportation, dining, sightseeing and special events.
While in the air, guests enjoy in-flight entertainment, iPads to follow the trip and meals developed by the travel company’s executive chef.
“We are excited to celebrate our 250th private jet trip with our classic around-world-journey that goes beyond what we’ve ever done before,” said TCS World Travel President Shelley Cline. “We are thankful for our team of expedition experts and past guests who have joined us on our past journeys and look forward to many more new adventures to come.”
One of these new adventures is a partnership with Four Seasons.
Four Seasons’ private plane will reach consumers outside of its own branded trips through a partnership with private jet tour company TCS World Travel.
The tour operator will use the hotel brand’s jet to transport travelers embarking on one of its “Secret Escapes,” a series of bespoke itineraries that journey to locales such as the Great Barrier Reef, Bora Bora or the Serengeti Plain. This expands the impact that Four Seasons’ private jet can have on affluent travelers beyond that of the chain’s own planned trips (see story).
