The Ultimate Luxury Travel Checklist

There are so many options in today’s luxury travel industry that identifying the one that best suits your needs will most likely require expert advice. With so many possible variables, a luxury travel partner like Welojets is the perfect ally to help you organize a memorable travel experience – from choosing your destination, and aircraft, researching the best hospitality options, and providing a checklist with all the needed documentation for your trip.

In fact, by working closely with our clients we have learned about their preferences when traveling to specific locations while also understanding that not everything should be hustle and sightseeing – leaving some downtime for relaxation is also a coveted aspect of any successful luxury travel experience to avoid any potential holiday burnout – yes, that’s a thing.

If you're planning a luxury trip, here's a checklist of things to consider:

• Choose your destination: Decide on a destination that offers the type of luxury travel experiences you are looking for, such as world-class spas, gourmet dining, or exclusive activities. Starting your trip with a tailored private jet charter will enable you and your travel group to maximize the overall experience.

• Budget: Determine your budget, considering flights, accommodations, transportation, meals, and activities. No budget is limitless, and no one likes to overspend, therefore setting the ground rules early in the process will set the expectations.

• Research accommodations: Look for luxury hotels or resorts that meet your criteria for comfort, amenities, and location. Consider booking a suite or villa for added space and privacy, especially in hot summer destinations like Ibiza or the Greek isles.

• Plan activities: Research and book activities, such as private tours, spa treatments, or exclusive dining experiences. At Welojets we understand that customized experiences that allow travelers to learn about local customs or traditions add tremendous value to any luxury travel plan.

• Transportation: Arrange for transportation, such as private transfers or a luxury car rental. It is always advisable to do so beforehand while the type of transportation may vary depending on the available options in each location. The possibility to rent an environmentally friendly vehicle is a rising trend among our clients and sometimes serves as a trial experience for them to change habits in their hometown.

• Pack appropriately: Bring appropriate clothing and accessories for your destination and planned activities. Don't forget to bring any necessary travel documents, such as passports or visas. When traveling private, your luggage goes with you in the cabin and there are fewer weight restrictions, while also ensuring that your precious cargo will arrive undamaged at the destination.

• Insurance: Consider purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment and cover any unforeseen circumstances. This sometimes-overlooked element of luxury travel will allow you and your family to travel with peace of mind to any destination in the world while knowing that your travel group is covered ahead of any unforeseen circumstances.

• Communication: Ensure you have a way to stay in touch with loved ones and have access to important information such as travel alerts and emergency services. We understand the value of staying in touch with our passengers before, during, and after the flight and our commitment is to maintain open communication and provide any needed solutions along the way.

• Relaxation: Plan for downtime and relaxation, such as spending time at the beach, lounging by the pool, or indulging in a spa treatment. While sightseeing and experiencing local culture is a must in any luxury travel trip, so is having a couple of days to unwind and enjoy the pleasure of relaxation.

• Enjoy the experience: Finally, relax and enjoy the luxury travel experience you've worked hard to plan and can afford. Having some structure around the overall experience might help some types of travelers, while others will prefer a more flexible travel journey – we have learned over the years that there are no right or wrong answers, and only what makes sense to each person should be pursued.
