Thank you .one and for dinner on board last night. The food was superb (just look at those scallops 🤤) and the crew were ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!

If anyone is heading to Fiji this winter and wants to experience true luxury, you must charter .one. 4 double cabins (including master) makes this it ideal for families or a group of friends. Plus, being a power catamaran means you get unrivalled stability when out on the water. What a way to spend a week!

I would like to say a big thank you to the team at and for hosting my clients and I this afternoon. To allow us the time to tour an operationally-active aircraft at such short notice is no easy feat and I’m truly appreciative!

The Qatar Executive Gulfstream G650ER is a gorgeous aircraft with a tasteful internal aesthetic. Not only that, the service from your team, not just for this event but across my other interactions with them, is truly world class! I can see why you have such high utilisation rates and are considered THE premier charter operator.

Thank you again,
Michael - The Travel Broker

What a great repositioning charter and the chance to experience one of the world’s premier business jets - the Gulfstream G650ER!

Whilst the operator is asking close to $300K, word on the street is that they may accept significantly less than this! We may even be able to negotiate a different destination close to Jakarta!

Make me an offer for me to take to the operator. You never know what price they’ll accept! 😉😉😉

Hi everyone.

One of my contacts has an amazing opportunity to experience travel on a private jet at a heavily reduced rate. The aircraft is a 10-seat Dassault Falcon (image is of a similar aircraft).

The aircraft is available for a one-way charter to Queenstown on 18th December. Departure time would be at your convenience. Total price is $8000 including GST which is a fantastic price considering the normal cost is $30K +. The reason for the discount is that someone has chartered the jet from Queenstown so it will be flying down empty anyway. This is a great opportunity for a group of family/friends or even a Christmas getaway for a group of work colleagues!

Feel free to contact me for more information at [email protected].
