An affluent customer was taking a large group of friends island-hopping in the Caribbean.
Flying 100 guests to a tropical birthday celebration
A high net worth client’s travel manager needed help planning his birthday trip to the Caribbean with nearly 100 guests. The client wanted to charter a mixed configuration aircraft to fly the group from London to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, where they were spending a week island-hopping around the archipelago before returning to the UK. Prompt arrival and careful coordination were essential to ensure their itinerary ran on schedule, so our team got to work devising an ideal solution.
Our Solution
Route: Stansted > Saint Vincent > Stansted
Aircraft: Airbus A340-300
The client was considering quotes from several rival charter services, however our rapid response and unrivalled expertise won us the contract. We sent over a solution within minutes, sourcing an Airbus A340-300 with a mixture of business-class seats for the client’s closest friends and economy seats for the other guests.
Our team scheduled the charter to land in Saint Vincent with plenty of time to transfer passengers to waiting seaplanes bound for Mustique, the first island on their itinerary. Guests were staying in different luxury villas during the trip, so we also arranged colour-coded luggage tags to ensure everyone’s bags made it to the right accommodation.
We sent a flight rep out to Saint Vincent to oversee the return leg of the charter and ensure any last-minute complications were swiftly resolved. When the aircraft operator ran into difficulties with the onboard catering, our rep quickly organised inflight meals from a local supplier and personally stocked the aircraft with beverages and snacks.
