Around the world on a private jet tour -- A Summer Series episode

Imagine a guided tour, and your transportation is a Boeing 757 outfitted with 50 first-class seats. And the plane will fly you around the world in ultimate comfort to off-the-beaten-path locations to get rare glimpses of wildlife, immerse you in local culture and stay at fine, luxury resorts. Though it's not cheap to buy a seat on one of these tours, the world of private-jet touring is a steadily growing niche. In this episode, Ann Epting, Abercrombie & Kent's senior vice president of private jet and special interest travel, and Rob Clabbers, the president of Q Cruise + Travel talk with host Rebecca Tobin about the type of traveler who books a private-jet tour, how the whole thing operates, the work that goes into planning and delivering an over-the-top private jet experience, the price of private-jet vacations and of course, the plane itself. This episode is part of our annual Summer Series, where we feature some of our favorite recent Folo by Travel Weekly discussions. This episode was recorded March 29 and has been edited for length and clarity.
