We look out at clouds floating across the window, as the Falcon 2000 slices the skies, flying at a speed of almost 520 miles per hour. Glasses of martini rest comfortably on the table before us, and a steward waits in attendance. A giant LCD screen, placed firmly on the panel opposite us, plays a movie of our choice. Flying over the Pacific Ocean now, we hardly feel like we’re moving at all, as the falcon cruises ahead without the slightest aberration.These are some of the glimpses of the private air charter experience with Lushescapes, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that must be on your bucket list.

Flying away

"I hope you’re enjoying the view of the ocean", the voice of our pilot comes in over the speaker above our seats. Looking down through the window, we notice how calm the blue waters look from here. The choppy waves, which are almost threatening to sailors, seem to fade sailors, seem to fade into oblivion, as the surface looks soothingly calm and placid, the morning sunlight making it shimmer. This is the true majesty of the skies.

Fleet of luxury

Nothing quite compares to the high one obtains from flying this way. No harried co-passengers. No waiting for the air hostesses to respond. No unseen delays. Just you ensconced comfortably in your very own suite in the clouds, with the earth laid out miles below you like a giant carpet and the skies within touching distance.

Luxury in the sky

Noticing that we have emptied our glasses, our steward comes forth to replenish our drinks with a choice selection of wines. He recommends one of the Burgundy wines, and we decide to move to the onboard spa to savor it. A few minutes later, we lie in the spa, sipping on the fine wine as Beethoven serenades us over the in-flight music system."We hope you are having a good time with us", the voice of one of the crew members says over the speakers. We smile, take another sip of the wine, and say in unison, "You bet I am."
