This Private Air Travel Company Is Teaming Up With a Luxury Tour Operator to Offer Dream Trips Around the World

There are undeniable perks that come with traveling via private aircraft, like avoiding long waits at the airport and flying on your own schedule, to name a few. For members of Wheels Up, an aviation brand that connects travelers with private jets, things are about to get even better, thanks to the company's new partnership with luxury tour operator Abercrombie & Kent.

For more than 50 years, the team behind Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) has helped luxury travelers indulge in immersive experiences throughout all seven continents. Now, with this new partnership, the company is curating a new list of inspiring itineraries just for Wheels Up members.

These seven new journeys will kick off in 2022, inviting Wheels Up members to explore a variety of destinations in small groups with experiences exclusively offered through the A&K partnership. As with all tours curated by A&K, guests can expect luxury accommodations, unique experiences both on and off the beaten path, and specialized service that goes above and beyond to meet every traveler's needs. Air travel needs will be taken care of by Wheels Up.
