As only Dubai can, Dubai acts! Previously providing hotel packages with personal butlers and chauffeur-driven Bentleys, Dubai’s Five Hotels and Resorts have raised the ante with the launch of the world’s first fully-customized ACJ TwoTwenty private jet service.A $105 million personalized private jet service called Fly Five gives the hotel’s luxurious pool villas and marble suites an upscale appearance. With its extensive feature set, the 16-seater 9H-Five may be rented for as little as $13,000, or $900 per person for an hour. Inside, the master suite with its king-sized bed and luxurious bathroom may make guests feel like royalty—possibly even better.
Enormous with ambient lighting, modern furnishings, a cutting-edge music system, a 55-inch TV, and high-speed wifi, the aircraft is like a five-star hotel in the skies. Perfectly prepared in a fully-stocked kitchen, meals are served on a dining table for eight. Caviar and champagne are served freely to maintain the festive mood.
If that wasn’t enough, travelers can also enjoy iPads when they change into the coziest branded pajamas and use Molton Brown shampoos and silk sleeping masks for a cat snooze.
Regarding the service that debuted over the weekend, the hotel stated, “Flying FIVE will be an unmatched, flawless, curated experience for customers seeking the unique ‘Vibe at FIVE’ in the sky.” With 73 square meters of floor area, the five-star plane can be rented by well-to-do guests for travel within a 12-hour flight radius through the charter service.
This opens up access to popular destinations like Santorini, Ibiza, and even breathtaking Zurich. The cost of a seven-hour flight from London to Dubai is about $91,500. Advocates of climate change don’t have to worry about their carbon footprint because the hotel group bought enough nature-based carbon credits to offset 102% of the jets’ first year’s flying capacity. According to The National News, money from the jet’s offsets will support vital reforestation and rainforest preservation initiatives in Borneo.
Five Hospitality’s CEO, Aloki Batra, stated, “This aircraft is a spectacular new chapter for Five.” A global leader in entertainment-driven hospitality, Five is now adding a Five-styled experience to its already impressive portfolio. This new venture aims to take the distinctive and unmatched “Vibe at FIVE” from its ground-level hotels to an opulent, immersive setting above the sky.
He went on. “By setting the standard for private aviation, we will now be able to provide a faultless and customized experience. Fly Five is the newest residence in the skies for Five Hotel and Resort, and we can’t wait to have you join us.
