Fly ‘back in time’ by private jet & celebrate New Year 2019 twice
New Year’s Eve is the biggest party night of the year. But with so many celebrations taking place all over the world, it can be difficult to choose how and where to spend it.
But what if you could celebrate it twice over in one night, in two different, iconic party hotspots on different sides of the world? It might sound like something from a movie, but with a customised and carefully-planned private jet itinerary, you can do it for real.
How to celebrate New Year twice by private jet
With the world rotating at 1,038 miles per hour, the time in LA is 19 hours behind Sydney. So if you can keep the travel time between the two lower than that, you can (effectively) arrive several hours before you left! Flying on an ultra long range jet, such as a Gulfstream G550, with a bespoke itinerary, it’s possible to celebrate New Year in both places.
The flight time from Sydney to LA in a Gulfstream G550 is 13.5 hours, so with the 19-hour time difference, you get to replay over 5.5 hours of party time, by flying eastwards.
This unique flight experience is only possible by private jet, as the timings are so tight – and there are no airline schedules to fit the itinerary.

Recharge or continue the party on your Gulfstream G550
The Gulfstream G550 offers a luxurious and spacious cabin experience for a long flight. And whether you want to recharge or continue the party onboard, you can choose between our Wellness or Festive Flight package.
With the Wellness package, the private flight attendant will prepare the cabin’s lighting and temperature controls for the optimum restful flight experience, with deluxe bedding in the cabin’s master bedroom area and on the further flat single beds. There are designer pyjamas and slippers for each passenger; luxury skin care and masks; detox juices; and a VIP vitamin-packed catering menu.
Alternatively the Festive Flight package is for those looking to continue the celebrations at 45,000 feet, taking advantage of the aircraft’s high-spec music and entertainment systems; decorations in the cabin; and decadent inflight catering options featuring caviar, cuvée champagne, and made-to-order dishes such as fresh lobster, or lamb tartare.
