Four Seasons has opened reservations for its first Private Jet journeys of 2028, with two of our top-selling itineraries, and the two we receive the most positive feedback about, now available to book: Grand Horizons and African Wonders.

The good news is that guests do not need to pay the full cost of the journey when they reserve. A deposit secures the booking, with the remaining balance due closer to departure. Some guests may also be able to spread the outstanding balance across several payments before the final payment deadline, making it much easier to plan for a journey that may still be more than a year away.

With only around 48 guests on board each departure, availability is expected to be limited, particularly as many previous Four Seasons Private Jet travelers return for additional journeys.

Book with an Authorized Four Seasons Preferred Partner

Clements Travel is an authorized Four Seasons Preferred Partner with direct access to the Four Seasons Private Jet team, including senior management.

A Four Seasons Private Jet Journey is a significant investment, and we believe it is important to book with an advisor who understands the product and has experience arranging these journeys. We can explain the differences between the itineraries, answer your questions and help you choose the journey that best suits your interests.

Booking through Clements Travel costs exactly the same as booking directly with Four Seasons. You pay Four Seasons directly, receive an official Four Seasons confirmation and we never see or store your credit card details.

Our relationship with Four Seasons allows us to do much more than simply make the reservation. Before and during your journey, we contact the individual Four Seasons hotels along the itinerary, introduce our clients to the hotel teams and request the best possible room allocations, upgrades and enhanced amenities wherever possible. While these requests are always subject to availability, they can add an extra level of recognition throughout the journey.

You'll also have one dedicated point of contact from your initial enquiry until you return home, with seven-day support and urgent assistance outside normal office hours should you need it.

If you decide to extend your trip before or after the Private Jet Journey, we can also arrange qualifying Four Seasons hotel stays with Preferred Partner benefits such as daily breakfast for two, hotel credits, priority for room upgrades, early check-in, late checkout and welcome amenities where applicable.

Grand Horizons

Grand Horizons is the longer of the two newly released itineraries, taking guests across North America, Asia and Europe over 24 days.

The journey begins among the vineyards of California's Napa Valley, where private winery visits and exclusive tastings introduce one of the world's most celebrated wine regions. From there, guests board the Four Seasons Private Jet for Tokyo, replacing commercial airports, long queues and complicated flight connections with a private aviation experience managed from start to finish.

Tokyo offers a fascinating contrast between centuries-old traditions and cutting-edge innovation. Guests can immerse themselves in one of the world's great culinary capitals, discover historic temples and neighborhoods, and experience the energy of modern Japan before continuing to Vietnam.

One of the highlights of the journey is a luxury cruise through Ha Long Bay, where towering limestone islands rise from emerald waters. Spending time aboard a private vessel among this UNESCO World Heritage Site creates one of the most memorable moments of the itinerary.

The journey then continues to Thailand, where guests can choose between Bangkok or Koh Samui. Bangkok delivers magnificent temples, bustling markets and exceptional dining, while Koh Samui offers a slower pace with opportunities for snorkeling alongside a marine biologist, private boat excursions and time to enjoy Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.

Crossing into Europe, the itinerary arrives in Istanbul, where East meets West. Historic palaces, grand mosques, colorful bazaars and outstanding cuisine make it one of the journey's most captivating cultural stops.

Guests then continue to Milan, the heart of Italian fashion and design, before heading to Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, Mallorca provides time to relax before the final European stop in Lisbon, where historic streets, traditional trams and Portuguese cuisine create a fitting finale before crossing the Atlantic to Montreal.

What makes Grand Horizons especially appealing is its remarkable variety. In just over three weeks, guests experience world-famous wine regions, futuristic cities, tropical islands, Mediterranean resorts and some of Europe's great cultural capitals, all without organizing a single flight, hotel transfer or luggage movement themselves.

African Wonders

African Wonders is a 13-day journey that combines ancient civilizations, spectacular wildlife, tropical beaches and some of Africa's most remarkable natural landmarks into one carefully planned itinerary.

The journey begins in Lisbon before continuing to Cairo, where guests explore one of history's greatest civilizations. A highlight is a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to one of the world's largest collections of ancient Egyptian treasures, including the artifacts of Tutankhamun.

From Egypt, the Four Seasons Private Jet heads south to Tanzania for three nights in the Serengeti.

Guests head out on expertly guided game drives in search of the Big Five, while one of the journey's signature experiences is a sunrise hot-air balloon safari. Floating above the Serengeti as elephants, giraffes and antelope move across the plains below is an experience few travelers ever forget. The morning concludes with a Champagne breakfast in the bush before returning for more wildlife encounters later in the day.

After the excitement of safari, the journey slows with three nights in Mauritius. Surrounded by white-sand beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, guests have time to relax, enjoy the resort, visit the spa or explore the island's culture and cuisine before continuing deeper into Africa.

Next comes what many guests consider the highlight of the entire journey: mountain gorilla trekking in Rwanda.

Accompanied by experienced guides, guests hike through Volcanoes National Park in search of one of the world's last remaining mountain gorilla families. Spending time only a few meters away from these extraordinary animals in their natural habitat is often described as one of Africa's most memorable wildlife experiences.

The final stages of the journey include Victoria Falls, where guests witness one of the planet's greatest waterfalls, before concluding in Johannesburg for the journey's closing celebrations.

African Wonders works particularly well because of its balance. Ancient history, world-class safari, tropical beaches, endangered wildlife and one of the world's great natural landmarks are all combined into a single journey without the complicated domestic flights, luggage transfers and logistical planning that would normally be required.

Why Book Through Clements Travel?

Many of the destinations on a Four Seasons Private Jet Journey are only visited for one or two nights. That makes getting the small details right even more important.

Wherever possible, we'll work with our hotel contacts to secure the best available room. At Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi, for example, we always recommend requesting a room overlooking the Imperial Palace. Not only is the view far better than the city-facing rooms, but on a clear day you'll also wake up to Mount Fuji in the distance.

We'll also help you get more from your limited time at each stop. Whether that's recommending the restaurant that's worth your one dinner, suggesting the best spa treatment, arranging a memorable local experience, or advising which hotel facilities are worth prioritizing, we'll share the same advice we'd give our own friends and family.

Because we've visited many of the destinations featured on these itineraries ourselves, we can also make recommendations that go beyond what's listed in the brochure. At Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, for instance, we have a favorite safari guide we always try to request for our clients, as we know how much of a difference the right guide can make to the experience.

These are the small touches that can turn an already exceptional journey into an even better one.

What Is the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience?

Unlike simply chartering a private aircraft, the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience is a fully curated luxury journey.

Guests travel aboard a custom-configured Airbus A321neo-LR carrying approximately 48 passengers. Every itinerary includes luxury hotels, private jet transportation, airport and ground transfers, curated experiences, most meals and luggage handling throughout the journey.

A dedicated journey concierge team, executive chef, cabin crew and journey physician travel with every departure, allowing guests to simply enjoy the experience while Four Seasons manages every detail.
