Private flight for the royal honeymooners
The press today are reporting that Prince William and Kate Middleton, the new Duke & Duchess of Cambridge, took a private jet flight to the Seychelles for their honeymoon. The news comes as a surprise to many after suggestions that they would wait until later in the year to get away.
A long range private jet charter from London to the Seychelles (or possibly Manchester, which is the closest relevant airport to Anglesey) would have cost from around £150,000 return to Seychelles International Airport on Mahe (our Quick Quote cost calculator can give you an immediate online cost estimate for any global trip by private jet charter).
The royal couple would have had a choice of long range jets for charter and are likely to have chosen something like Gulfstream’s G550 for a trip of this duration (just over 10 hours) with its exceptional comfort, speed and style.
Privacy is a key decision for lots of private jet customers and would obviously have been the key criteria in this case (they chose a private island for hire as well as a private jet hire). Those with more of a focus on their budget could look to combine an airline flight to Mahe with a private aircraft or helicopter charter to one of the islands.
