Around the world without stopovers

A little history

150 years ago, going around the world could be considered a real adventure full of discoveries. Today, the trip is much simpler and safer to carry out although, not for this reason, it has lost that halo of being a mythical and romantic experience that it has for all those who have been able to live that unforgettable journey that marks a before and after in their lives.

The eagerness to discover new trade routes and territories was what led the great European navigators and explorers to travel the world from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Juan Sebastián Elcano was the first person to circumnavigate the world by ship during the expedition commanded by Magellan, who set sail from Seville in 1519 and returned 3 years later, having completed the first official circumnavigation of the globe and discovered the Magellan Strait.

Charles Darwin, embarked in 1831 on the Beagle at the age of 22 to begin a five-year scientific circumnavigation of the world. Darwin set sail from the port of Plymouth and some of the places he visited were the Canary Islands, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Patagonia, Chile, the Galapagos Islands, Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia, until he arrived back in England.

Until the 20th century, horse-drawn carriages, railroads, and ships were the means of transportation used by European travelers to cover long distances and travel from one country to another. But in the year 1903, the history of travel was to change radically thanks to the feat of the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright who performed the first controlled flight of a heavier-than-air machine, which managed to fly just over 36 meters for 12 seconds. 

Thus began the development of commercial aviation and many pioneers decided to travel the world in this new means of transport. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh became the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a solo airplane flight, and in 1933, Wiley Post was the first pilot to fly around the world solo. He completed his feat after 7 days, 18 hours, and 49 minutes of flight, also breaking a speed record. 

Flying and connecting the world

In little more than a century, commercial aviation has developed to such an extent that today it is the primary means of transportation used for travel, and virtually all those who wish to travel around the world do so using the airplane.

Although commercial airlines currently connect most cities in the world, making this type of trip in a commercial airplane can have its drawbacks: Being subject to specific flight schedules and dates, the inconvenience of all the bureaucratic and security aspects involved in airport protocol before boarding, waiting and queuing at stopovers, and being limited even by the number of airports at which large commercial aircraft can land.
 

On the contrary, a private jet can be the best option to make your dream round-the-world trip come true, in the most exclusive and personalized way, flying and connecting continents, countries, cities, islands, and remote places as you want, when you want, and where you want.

Exclusivity, comfort, freedom, intimacy, and flexibility could be some of the main reasons to go around the world in a private jet. When traveling in a private jet, you are not limited by airline schedules nor do you have to waste time at the airport waiting to go through security or during baggage claim. You can decide what time you leave, and in case of a delay, the plane waits for you. Private jets can land at smaller airports closer to your final destination and can avoid the traffic of larger airports.

When traveling by private jet you can choose the size of the plane and decide who will accompany you on your adventure around the globe. You will have the whole plane to enjoy this round-the-world trip with your partner, family, or friends, privately and uninterruptedly. You can also choose when and what kind of food you want to eat on board during the trip.

Design your dream trip

Although there is no standard round-the-world trip, a good idea would be to start by discovering the cradle of some of the ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Jordan, or Greece. It is a good starting point to begin that round-the-world trip in those mythical places where the first explorers and sages of antiquity were born. Millenary civilizations set out to discover the world and civilizations that lived through the arrival of European navigators such as the Incas in Peru or the Mayas in Mexico.

Nature is undoubtedly another of the great protagonists of any world tour. On board your private jet you can discover the African savannah, tropical jungles, the Asian jungle, deserts like the Gobi, paradisiacal islands in Polynesia, glaciers in Patagonia, and even the North and South Poles. Reaching remote destinations such as Easter Island, Mongolia, Bhutan, Greenland, or Antarctica, and even places where large commercial aircraft cannot reach. To live, in short, that dreamed round-the-world trip in a more direct, personalized, and exclusive way.

The innovation and vibrant life of the big cities must also be on the list of destinations of this grand trip around the world: New York, Rio de Janeiro, Cuzco, Tokyo, Dubai, Hong Kong .... without forgetting some of the great European capitals such as London, Berlin or Moscow.

Having the opportunity to travel around the world in a private jet means to TRAVEL in capital letters and to do it with total freedom and flexibility. It is a transformative and deeply enriching journey based on the contrast of cultures, landscapes, people, and experiences, which marks a before and after in the life of whoever sets out to make this mythical dream trip come true.
