Imagine booking a private jet trip without knowing where you’re actually flying to.
Sounds wild, right? Well, that’s exactly what a luxury jet company is offering — giving travelers a chance to experience the VIP lifestyle with a surprise destination thrown in.
Luxury Flights at a Surprising Price
Chapman Freeman, a well-known name in private jet charters, has just launched a new “blind booking” service.
For roughly £420 per person, you and a small group of friends can jet off to a secret European spot in style.
The price is based on the whole jet costing about 3,000 euros for a one-way trip, which works out to around £840 if you fill all six seats and take a return flight.
Pick Your Vibe, Not Your Destination
Here’s the catch: you don’t get to choose exactly where you’re going.
Instead, you select a theme that fits your mood — like ‘romance’, ‘city break’, ‘sun and beach’, or even a ‘Germany exclusive’ trip.
Then, on the day of travel, the company’s team will reveal your mystery destination.
Not keen on the spot you’re assigned? No worries — you can say no and skip the flight.
So, you have all the luxury and thrill without feeling locked in.
Travel in True VIP Style
The jets themselves are nothing short of stunning.
Chapman Freeman’s fleet includes the Dassault Falcon 7X — a sleek, spacious private jet that looks like something out of a footballer’s Instagram.
Think white leather seats, big windows with great views, and all the luxe touches you’d expect when flying in style.
Why People Love the Surprise Factor
The company launched this new concept last month and says it’s perfect for travelers who want to ditch the stress of planning and just embrace spontaneity.
“Blind booking is for adventurers who want to be surprised but still expect first-class luxury at every turn,” a spokesperson said.
They’re hoping it especially appeals to American travelers eager to discover Europe in a unique way, blending excitement with sophistication.
Mystery Trips Are Trending in the Travel World
Chapman Freeman isn’t the only airline tapping into the mystery travel trend.
Last year, Scandinavian Airlines launched a ‘Destination Unknown’ flight for its frequent flyer members.
While there are no current plans for another mystery flight from them, travelers can sign up for alerts about future surprises.
Private Jet Travel Is Booming, Especially for Short Trips
In the broader world of private jet travel, usage has soared, especially in the U.S. Ricky Sitomer, founder of Star Jets International, told DailyMail.com that demand for short flights—under 300 miles—has jumped by about 35% in three years.
Places like Nantucket and the Hamptons are now almost like taxi stops for the super-rich of New York.
Who’s Flying Private Jets Most Often?
According to Sitomer, celebrities, athletes, big real estate players, hedge fund managers, and crypto moguls are among the frequent flyers.
They’re taking helicopters and private planes to popular destinations like Martha’s Vineyard, Toronto, and the Hamptons more than ever before.
The prices reflect the exclusivity too—an eight-seater jet from New York to Nantucket can cost about $5,000 (£4,200) each way.
The Future of Travel May Be More Spontaneous Than Ever
Between the blind booking adventures and skyrocketing private jet trips, luxury travel is getting more exciting — and more accessible — for those ready to embrace the unexpected.
Whether you want to be surprised or stick to a familiar route, the private jet world is buzzing with new ways to fly high.
