As a new Four Seasons Private Jet prepares to take flight in 2021, the world’s leading luxury hospitality company is revealing its first itineraries for 2022, with a continued focus on health, safety and flexibility.
The 2022 program begins with a family-friendly 13-day itinerary through Africa. In March and April Four Seasons will host two round-the-world journeys, each including multi-night stops in Australia. The jet will stop in Sydney (staying at the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney) and the Great Barrier Reef (staying at Baillie Lodges’ Silky Oaks Lodge).
“Since our inaugural journey in 2015, the response has been overwhelming,” Christian Clerc, President, Global Operations for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts said.
“Many of our trips consistently sell out, often with repeat guests, and as travellers look ahead to the future, we expect to see the same level of interest in our 2022 itineraries.”
