PrivateFly Create Unique ‘New Year’s Eve Twice’ Jet Experience
New Year’s Eve is a time when most of us are happy to splash the cash for a memorable experience – but not many are able to stretch to a unique occasion that literally repeats itself.
As the big night approaches, private jet charter company PrivateFly is inviting adventure-seeking guests to bring in the New Year not once but twice in the same night.
As part of its ‘New Year’s Eve Twice’ deal, the company is allowing patrons to celebrate the festivities in two different countries, such as Australia and the United States, where midnight falls at different times.
Guests who book the exclusive package will fly aboard a luxurious Gulfstream G550 private jet and arrive in Sydney, Australia on the evening of 31 December, where they'll attend a VIP party. At midnight, they’ll welcome 2019 with a view of the famous fireworks display over Sydney Harbor.
Afterwards, they’ll depart from the Sydney Kingsford Smith airport toward Los Angeles in the US, arriving on 31 December in time for a second New Year’s Eve Toast.
Speaking about the special package, PrivateFly CEO Adam Twidell said, “PrivateFly has carefully done the math so guests with the stamina and budget can witness 2019 twice.
“The 13.5-hour flight time in a Gulfstream G550 combined with the 19-hour time difference between Sydney and Los Angeles allow guests to replay 5.5 hours of precious party time.”
The entire package is priced at $255,500 (one-way), with a per person cost of $31,950 for a group of 8 passengers. Too late for this year, but there’s no harm in making early plans for the next.
