As Four Seasons has demonstrated, private jet journeys are all the rage right now, especially to those for whom the mundanities of holiday planning seem like too much to conquer. Aman’s private jet journeys are no exception. Returning for its 4th edition this October, the luxury hotel group’s 17-day tour across Pan Asia will host up to 16 guests — double the amount from last year.

Specially curated by travel experts for a holiday experience unlike any other, Aman’s upcoming private jet getaway will take flight from October 8 to 24, 2017. Up in the air, guests will travel upon Aman’s 2 cosy Gulfstream G200s, which will accommodate only four couples each. Sticking to tradition, guests will embark on a tour that spans across the lands of China, Bhutan, India and Sri Lanka, all in the comfort of a private car.

For a dose of history, guests will also pay a visit to Lijiang’s Old Town. The UNESCO World Heritage Site offers breathtaking views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain range and a peek into the unique lifestyle of the ancient Naxi community.
