This Airline Will Take You to a Surprise Destination

"A private-plane charter specialist launched a Blind Booking program aimed at American travelers bound for Europe that sends groups of up to six passengers on one-way private-jet trips to a mystery European city revealed shortly before takeoff. Travelers choose the departure airport, dates, and an overall theme (examples include a romantic escape, cultural city break, beach holiday, or outdoor adventure), then work with a passenger flight broker who confirms logistics, reveals the blind-booking category and eventual city, and allows passengers to withdraw free of charge if the destination isn't acceptable. The offering emphasizes spontaneity and exclusivity while maintaining luxury and simplified logistics; trips start at about $3,400." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
