Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour has been taking the world by storm, with kids (and their parents), teens, and millennials buzzing with excitement. From the US to Australia, the Grammy-winning artiste has been jet-setting across the globe to sing to throngs of eager fans. Given her packed tour schedule, it’s no wonder that, until recently, she owned two private jets: a Dassault Falcon 900 and a Dassault Falcon 7X.
According to the Business Insider, Swift parted ways with her Dassault 900 in January 2024. For those curious to experience flying on a jet that had been serving the singer-songwriter since 2009, look no further than Blue Diamond’s private Caribbean trip.

Blue Diamond Resorts is one of the Caribbean’s fastest-growing resort conglomerates, having entered the hospitality sector in 2011. Offering luxury getaways in top destinations such as Antigua, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and St. Lucia, the group’s portfolio encompasses 18,000 guest rooms in more than 60 properties.
Blue Diamond specializes in opulent curated vacations, such as its Diamond Jetsetter Experience, catered to high-end travelers. Operated on its Dassault Falcon 900EX EASy, Blue Diamond says that its private jet service “elevates travel to new heights, offering discerning travelers unparalleled comfort, convenience, and style as they embark on their ultimate getaway”.
The Dassault Falcon 900
The Dassault Falcon 900, commonly known as the F900, is a French-made corporate trijet crafted by Dassault Aviation. It took its inaugural flight on 21 September 1984, marking the commencement of a legacy in executive aviation.

Evolving from this legacy, the Falcon 900EX emerged as a long-range variant, boasting formidable 22.24 kN (5,000 lbf) engines. This iteration achieved an impressive range of 4,500 nautical miles (5,179 miles / 8,334 km) and entered service in 1996.

Building upon the success of its predecessor, the 900EX EASy (used by Blue Diamond) – which was in production from 2004 to 2009 – features Honeywell/Dassault Primus Epic EASy avionics and TFE731-60 engines. The jet can accommodate 19 passengers, providing a spacious cabin for Blue Diamond’s guests.

An all-inclusive package for high-end jetsetters
The Diamond Jetsetter Experience starts off with private flights from New York City, US, or Toronto, Canada, to one of Blue Diamond’s many resorts in the Caribbean. As passengers step onboard the Falcon 900EX, they are welcomed by a sophisticated cabin featuring stylish and spacious seating, dining and conference areas, and a full galley.

Throughout the flight, a butler service ensures that the needs of each guest are attended to – this includes aromatherapy using essential oils from The Royal Spa and a special dining menu crafted by signature Royalton or Planet Hollywood Beach Resorts Restaurants. To top it off, a bottomless flow of mimosas offers the ultimate indulgence.
