Want to take luxury travel to new heights? Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is offering the opportunity to charter their custom-designed private jet for a limited time in 2024. But this exclusive experience comes with an eye-watering price tag.

The sky-high costs

For approximately $115,000 per day, up to 48 guests can enjoy the ultimate in personalized air travel aboard the Four Seasons private jet. This Airbus A321neoLR aircraft has been outfitted with 48 flatbed leather seats, a luxurious lounge area, and an exceptional in-flight dining experience curated by an executive chef.

The cost covers the private jet flights, all onboard services like gourmet meals, personal iPads and Bose headphones for entertainment, and the expert crew of 10, including pilots and dedicated cabin attendants. You can even opt to add an onboard physician, tour manager, or extra crew at additional expense.

However, the $115,000 daily rate is just for starters. All ground transfers, hotel accommodations, tours, activities, and most meals at your destinations come as extra costs to be arranged separately or through Four Seasons.

Wondering what kind of dream itinerary could justify such premium pricing?

Four Seasons suggests incredible travel experiences like the ultimate “set-jetting” adventure to visit filming locations of popular movies and TV shows shot at their properties. Or perhaps a global sporting event tour, catching the Summer Olympics in Paris, car racing in the Netherlands, football matches across Europe, and the U.S. Open tennis tournament. Another option is an epic holiday celebration spanning multiple European Christmas markets, a ski trip in the French Alps, and a New Year’s Eve finale in an exotic locale like Dubai or Finnish Lapland.

The Four Seasons team will work with your group to fully customize the private jet itinerary based on your interests and budget. You can even choose to recreate one of their pre-designed Private Jet Experience routes, like Ancient Explorer or International Intrigue, but on your preferred dates.

While the nightly lodging costs at Four Seasons luxury hotels and resorts will add up quickly, the true luxury lies in the seamless, tailored travel experience without the hassles of commercial flights and standard tour groupings.

The chartered Four Seasons private jet can fly up to 4,600 miles without refueling. Its advanced air filtration system refreshes the cabin air every few minutes, removing 99.9% of particles for maximum health assurance. Of course, the privilege of complete privacy and the ability to control every aspect of the travel experience from the group size to the itinerary are also prime draws for Four Seasons’ ultra-wealthy clientele.

Bottom line

Chartering the Four Seasons private jet offers an exclusive and customized travel experience with luxurious amenities for up to 48 guests but comes at a hefty price tag of $115,000 per day, not including ground transfers, accommodation, or most meals. This luxury is ideal for those seeking ultimate privacy, control over their itinerary, and the seamlessness of avoiding commercial flights and standard tours. According to Four Seasons, this opportunity is only available between August 4 to 26 and December 20 to 27, 2024.

I tried Swimply, the Airbnb of pools — and here’s how it went
Should you rent a pool through the popular app?
Swimply pool Portland.

Dubbed the Airbnb of swimming pools, Swimply is entering the fifth year of existence. The app allows users to access private pools for hours at a time, sometimes with extra amenities like outdoor kitchens, ideal for al fresco dining. It's all the fun of pool ownership—if only briefly—without the maintenance.
Think ResortPass, but for individual households as opposed to hotels and spas. It's not exactly inexpensive, but it is a convenience that's all the more attractive during the summer. And even in the offseason, there are plenty of indoor pools and hot tubs, and saunas to choose from as well.
The pros

Using Swimply is a lot like using Airbnb, which is to say it's pretty intuitive and full of an ever-growing database of homes with pools. Pictures reveal the most about what you're getting involved with, but I found the reviews to be most telling. Much like a strong Airbnb host, it's good to find a pool owner with a lot of positive feedback. That way, you'll almost certainly get everything that's advertised, whether that's cabana-like pool furniture or a pool that's been freshly skimmed.
The privacy of the owner is kept until you officially book, at which point you get the location details. We suggest seeking out Top Swimply picks, as they've been somewhat vetted already and reflect high marks from users. The pool my group used in Portland was outstanding, with an adjacent hot tub, bar area, a shower for rinsing, and a sprawling yard with plenty of shade.
Some of the subcategories are pretty helpful, especially if you're looking to throw a party or swim in the evening. They're split into features like BBQ, family, nightlights, plunge, privacy, budget, and more. Clicking on a specific property reveals other useful traits like the depth and dimensions of the pool, how it's treated (chlorine, saltwater, etc.), whether it's heated, indoor or outdoor, how many guests are allowed, if there's a bathroom on site, if there's wifi and speakers for music, and the parking situation.
What's available is pretty amazing. You can keep things modest if you're just looking to wet your toes or go all out and get your own backyard lagoon with a zip-line for $500 an hour.
