A flight around the world sounds glamorous, but what about a flight that goes around the world twice and and allows you to ring in the New Year twice in the process?
The flight time from Sydney to Honolulu in a Gulfstream G650ER is nine hours and 40 minutes; so with the 21-hour time difference, you get back 11 hours of party time while flying east.
Here’s how it works:
- 20:00, 31st December 2017, Sydney: Get the (first) party started
Start your evening in Sydney, one of the world’s most iconic party cities.
- 12.00, 1st January 2018, Sydney: Celebrate New Year – for the first time
- 02:00, 1st January 2018, Sydney: Depart in your Gulfstream G650ER
Your Gulfstream G650ER ultra long range jet will depart at 2.00 a.m. There are no queues so you’ll take off just minutes after you arrive. The G650ER is the fastest long range private jet in the world - the party aircraft of choice, offering a sleek interior configuration which accommodates 13 passengers.
During the 9.5 hour flight, dedicated partygoers can continue the celebrations, VIP style, with a high-spec entertainment system, fine wines and spirits, champagne and VVIP catering served by a private flight attendant.
Or if you’d rather recharge, you couldn’t be in better hands. The spacious G650ER cabin offers exceptional, luxury comfort, with a master suite bedroom option and further ergonomic, fully-reclining seats; floor-to-ceiling wardrobe and mirrored vanity; the latest bespoke lighting and temperature controls; and low cabin pressure to reduce jet lag.
- 15:40, 31st December 2017, Honolulu: Ready to party all over again
While others have woken to sore heads back in Sydney, you’ll land in Hawaii on New Year’s Eve.
- 12:00, 1st January 2018, Honololu: Celebrate New Year – for the second time
As you see in 2018 for the second time, it’s undoubtedly been a memorable night!
According to PrivateFly's itinerary for the 2018 festivities, tickets cost $22,300 per person, and chartering an entire plane costs $290,000.
