'Another blini for your caviar, madame?’ I’m asked as we 巡航する above アイスランド’s snow-capped mountains and I settle into my wide, Italian cream leather and walnut 支持を得ようと努めるd-finished 王位.

Around me, my fellow guests, all smartly dressed and brimming with excitement, are sipping on perfectly 冷気／寒がらせるd Dom Perignon シャンペン酒 vintage 2013 (costing more than £200 a 瓶／封じ込める) while getting to know one another.

We’re on board Abercrombie & Kent’s 私的な jet, 飛行機で行くing in extreme style from Reykjavik, in アイスランド, to Portland, Oregon.

The company 素早い行動s small groups of 豊富な travellers across the globe on trips costing up to £156,605 ($200,000) for up to 26 days.

Abercrombie & Kent’s jet (pictured) is a reconfigured and customised Boeing 757

While crisscrossing the world, guests are 扱う／治療するd to three-course meals cooked by 私的な che fs, 嘘（をつく）-flat seats, fluffy slippers and duvets, Briggs & Riley amenity 捕らえる、獲得するs 洪水ing with L’Occitane goodies, iPads preloaded with newly-解放（する）d films, a travelling ‘bell boy’ 責任がある the luggage and a photographer ready to 逮捕（する） every moment. There’s even a doctor on board for the duration for ultimate peace of mind.

Abercrombie & Kent’s jet is a reconfigured and customised Boeing 757. 計画（する）s like these usually carry 200 or so 乗客s. But this one has just 48 handcrafted 商売／仕事 class-like seats, which massage their occupant in different 方式s and 嘘（をつく） flat at the click of a button.

I’m 配分するd 9A, a window seat with 絶対 everything I need within touching distance: almost as soon as I notice my phone’s running out of 殴打／砲列, I find a charger in a 味方する pocket; when the chatter in the cabin 選ぶs up a notch while I’m settling 負かす／撃墜する to sleep, I find Bose noise-cancelling headphones above my 長，率いる; the moment I feel peckish or in need of a 最高の，を越す up, a cabin 乗組員 member comes over and places something on the wide walnut （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する in 前線 of me.

On Abercrombie & Kent's 野性生物 Safari 小旅行する, 乗客s take in eight countries, making stops to 位置／汚点／見つけ出す snow monkeys in Japan, 耐えるs in Malaysia, Bengal tigers in India, lemurs in Madagascar and gorillas in Uganda - all the while 泡-wrapped in 高級な

The guest-to-cabin 乗組員 割合 is 1:7 and the staff wear 海軍 skirt 控訴s, corsages and wide smiles.

During the flight, conversation flows just as 急速な／放蕩な as the bubbly. ‘We become like a big family during these trips,’ Ann Epting, A&K’s 上級の 副／悪徳行為-大統領，／社長 of 私的な jet travel, says. It may sound cheesy - but it’s true.

As we cross over Canada’s 深い blue lakes, white linen cloths are placed on our （米）棚上げする／（英）提議するs and we’re 扱う／治療するd to chicken Caesar salads, followed by honey and lime-glazed 北極の char with lobster sauce and a pudding of caramel chocolate mousse with 崩壊するd brownies.

Harriet is impressed with the food on board, commenting that she has 'had worse meals at Michelin-starred restaurants'

?同様に as 最高の，を越す food, explains Harriet, there's an 広範囲にわたる and 制限のない drinks menu that 含むs negronis and espresso martinis, campari, martini, cognac, and 瓶／封じ込めるs of red and white ワイン which would cost more than £100 at your 地元の restaurant

I’ve had worse meals at Michelin-starred restaurants and can’t やめる believe what I’m tasting at 38,000ft.

The 広範囲にわたる and 制限のない drinks menu 含むs negronis and espresso martinis, campari, martini, cognac, and 瓶／封じ込めるs of red and white ワイン which would cost more than £100 at your 地元の restaurant.

The eight hours whizz by in a ridiculously luxurious blur, and before we know it, the jet is touching 負かす／撃墜する in Portland . I’ve never been so unhappy to walk off a 計画（する）.

Once we disembark, the jet is cleaned and restocked ready for those lucky guests who are continuing on a 25-day 野性生物 Safari 小旅行する, taking in eight countries and making stops to 位置／汚点／見つけ出す snow monkeys in Japan, 耐えるs in Malaysia, Bengal tigers in India, lemurs in Madagascar and gorillas in Uganda - all the while 泡-wrapped in 高級な.

In total, they’ll be in the 空気／公表する for 55 hours. A 類似の 旅程 経由で 商業の flights would take 117 hours, 加える an extra 77 in layovers. One 旅行 on another 小旅行する between Cebu in the Philippines and Sandakan in Malaysia would usually take 19 hours 加える two layovers; A&K's 私的な jet does it in 40 minutes.

乗客s never have to 列 and are 素早い行動d through 私的な 終点s with 移民／移住 cards pre-filled by the staff.

Hotel stops, 一方／合間, are taken at the world’s finest brands, 含むing The Peninsular, Shangri-La and Ritz-Carlton.

If the 計画（する） touches 負かす／撃墜する somewhere off the 高級な hotel path, A&K will 調書をとる／予約する a three or four-星／主役にする hotel and 変える it to five-星／主役にする. They’ll train staff (or bring in their own), 取って代わる furniture, bed linen and mattresses, paint 塀で囲むs and 追加する artwork.

For this all-inclusive 長期冒険旅行, you’re asked to 支払う／賃金 £139,670pp ($176,000). 需要・要求する is high and almost 40 per cent of 顧客s return for their second, third or even ninth trip.

Guests spending what some people 支払う／賃金 for a house means 期待s are, of course, very high. So do the staff ever say ‘no’ to guests? ‘No’, comes Ann’s quick reply as a wry smile spreads over her 直面する. ‘Honest to goodness, we do everything we can to cater to our guests' needs and no isn’t really in our vocabulary. There was one time a couple requested eight feather pillows in every hotel room so we made sure that happened.’

Then there was the woman who brought along nine スーツケースs and 現在のd seven pages of dietary 必要物／必要条件s; the vet who 手配中の，お尋ね者 to eat a pig’s 長，率いる while in the remote Philippines; the man who 提案するd after 存在 ヘリコプターd to エベレスト base （軍の）野営地，陣営, and then asked if the staff would arrange his wedding a few days later ― which they did, of course, in Sicily.

So, is it 価値（がある） it? If you have the money, 絶対. But it’s also dangerous. Jet around the world like this and you might never again want to take a normal 商業の flight.
