On the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience, which launched 10 years ago, “we’ve gained helpful insights on how to reduce the side effects of flying and promote well-being,” said Chenin Mathews, director of guest experiences. “To start, the itineraries fly west, which is known to be easier on the body when adapting to jetlag. And we do not fly at night so that our guests always sleep in Four Seasons beds.”
Next year, the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience will launch its “World of Wellness” trip that stops at the destinations where the hit HBO show “The White Lotus” was filmed. And while the onboard massages are sure to be a crowd pleaser (one of many perks of this itinerary), it’s something undetectable that’s probably most crucial to everyone’s actual health: the jet’s hospital-grade air-filtration system that removes bacteria and viruses.
Last year, VistaJet, a private aviation company, began offering its 360 Wellness Program for its members—Taylor Swift is among them—for the whole journey. What that looks like: consulting with a nutritionist about the ideal pre-flight meal; Guerlain hydrating skincare amenities; ergonomic seating that assists with posture; dynamic daylight simulations that help combat jetlag in flight; and access to postflight wellness programs created by leading medical professionals. VistaJet recently launched the first in-flight facial service from Barbara Sturm–select cabin hosts will be certified to perform the treatment that focus on dehydration and fatigue at altitude.
“The wellness program was conceived post Covid in response to growing demand from VistaJet members,” said Matteo Atti, the private jet company’s Global Chief Marketing Officer. Atti said VistaJet worked with 4,000 experts globally to understand how flying affects the body, from hydration to sleep cycles.
For instance, Formula One racer Charles LeClerc worked with VistaJet’s wellness team to create a menu to meet his performance and athletic needs: light, nutrient-dense dishes that support energy and recovery. LeClerc is a VistaJet Ambassador and uses the aviation company to commute to his races around the world.
For those just looking to eat healthy or simply not blow their diet, VistaJet has partnered with Laroot, a New York City-based meal delivery service that makes gluten-free, organic meals. Menu items include: Salmon Escabeche with pickled vegetables and patatas bravas (360 calories, 42 grams of protein) followed by an Ayurvedic drink with cucumber, carrot, fresh ginger, turmeric, basil, lemon and coconut (61 calories, 1.9 grams of protein).
