Are you an Aviation Geek? Do you love the Caribbean?

Then private jet booking firm PrivateFly may have the perfect Caribbean trip for you.

The company has announced a new trip that will include three of the Caribbean’s most thrilling landings: St Maarten, St Barth and Saba (the world’s shortest commercial runway).

The $75,000 itinerary begins in London with a flights on a Gulfstream G650, the world’s fastest and furthest private jet, flying to St Maarten, then to St Barth, then to Saba.

The trip includes everything from lunches with pilots to a visit to the air traffic control tower., along with seven nights in five-star hotels and chauffeur service.

“Aviation tourism is a growing trend amongst luxury travellers who seek out the world’s most extraordinary flying experiences,” said PrivateFly CEO Adam Twidell. “For an AvGeek the joy is as much in the getting there, as it is in the destination. And the Caribbean offers an unbeatable collection of simply breathtaking landings.”

Without the long-range flight from London, PrivateFly can arrange the service for $£12,000 per person.

Otherwise, the cost is £190,000 for a group of 4, or £48,000 per person.

“As an unashamed AvGeek myself, this is truly the trip of a lifetime for those with a passion for aviation,” Twidell said. “Combining flights in the world’s most desirable private jet, with some of the world’s most spectacular landings. What could be better?”
