The new golden age of air travel – Aero

Once upon a time there was a golden age of air travel. Arriving at the airport was an exhilarating moment, as smartly dressed passengers made their way through pristine airport halls, past friendly smiling agents, excited for the journey to come. Aeroplanes were roomy, the seats wide and comfy and the service always excellent. It may seem like this long-ago dream is out of reach, but thanks to semi-private jet service Aero, savvy travellers heading to the sparkling shores of Ibiza this summer can recreate the gilded, glamorous and luxuriant journeys of bygone years with ease, booking jets by the seat while reaping the benefits of private travel. After all, you curate your life, choose substance and style, take advantage of every moment, and always seek fulfilment, joy and connection – why should the way you travel be any different?

Forget long queues, stuffy planes and first-class disappointments when travelling to and from Ibiza with semi-private jet service Aero this season.

The Aero experience is beyond first class – it’s in a class of its own. Its fleet of meticulously designed sleek black jets are fitted out with silky smooth, hand-stitched Italian leather seats, state-of-the-art mood lighting and well-crafted interiors. Each aircraft is staffed by friendly and accommodating flight attendants fluent in the language of discreet, personable and meticulous service. Bookable by the seat, each flight accommodates up to 16 passengers and travels between dedicated private jet terminals in Europe including Ibiza, London, Malaga, Nice and Geneva. Arrive just 45 minutes before departure – Aero can even organise a car pick-up service for a door to door journey – and skip the lines, crowded lounges and chaos associated with commercial flying.

Check-in is a breeze thanks to the skilled team of Aero hosts, who take you through the process with professional ease. You might have a moment to lounge in the private terminal but with speedy service, you’re more likely to be ushered to your plush, extra-wide seat and offered a top-shelf drink before you even notice you’re at an airport at all. Kick back and relax with your favourite artisanal snacks and reading material while tuning into the chill summer tracks coming through the Bongiovi Acoustic Labs sound system on the plane. Just a short two hours later, you’ll spot the golden shores of Ibiza out your window and feel a flash of instant bliss knowing endless summer days and glittering Balearic nights are on the horizon.

Semi-private jet service Aero offers smooth flying all the way with ultra-sleek jets, amazing onboard experiences and a bespoke concierge service.

Upon landing, there’s no waiting at noisy carousels for your baggage and no lengthy queues for a taxi. Step off the plane and savour the light, the warm salty air and that feeling of freedom, knowing Aero has a car waiting to whisk you away to your hotel or villa. Even as you venture off to discover the sights and delights of Ibiza, the Aero team are standing by to assist with anything you might need during your stay, from transportation and hotel bookings to reservations at the best restaurants and beach clubs in Ibiza, spa treatments and more. Aero fits seamlessly into your lifestyle, providing a travel experience that goes above and beyond – all you need to worry about is which swimsuit to pack. In fact, on certain Aero journeys, you can even pack your pets!

Whether you’re flying solo, taking a family vacation or on an escapade with friends, taking an Aero flight to Ibiza is an event unto itself, like the glamorous flights of years gone by – a luxurious event that’s guaranteed to make you fall in love with flying again. And while you may have to return home at some point (or hop on another flight – Malaga anyone?), when you’re travelling with Aero, you don’t need to subscribe to the adage that all good things must come to an end. Again, a car will collect you from your villa or hotel to take you on the seamless journey to Ibiza airport. Again, you’ll skip the lines, the crowds and the hassle and sail through the private jet terminal. And again, your familiar black chariot is waiting on the tarmac, ready to envelop you in chic comfort for your onward journey. From start to finish, from boarding to disembarking, Aero puts you first.
