Leading aircraft charter specialist, Air Charter Service (ACS), has teamed up with best-selling author and ‘time design’ expert, James Wallman, to create curated private jet travel experiences. Set to be announced before summer, the experiences will satisfy the nation’s sentiment surrounding lost time due to the pandemic, which customers can enjoy once Covid-19 travel restrictions are eased.
Carefully curated over three months by James Wallman’s team and ACS, key ‘time design’ concepts from Wallman’s best-seller, Time And How To Spend It, will be applied to the experiences, made seamless by private aviation.
James Wallman comments: “I am very excited to be working with Air Charter Service, since the benefits of private aviation align so well with my philosophies on how to spend time wisely for a happy and enriching life. The experiences will be based on the STORIES framework from ‘Time And How To Spend It’ - so that, after more than a year of travel restrictions, travellers who select these experiences will not only take a break from their norm, but will embark on a life-affirming journey that provides them with show-stopping memories and stories.”
Ben Stevenson, Head of Air Charter Service’s Travel & Concierge Team, concludes: “The theories in ‘Time And How To Spend It’ and the benefits of private aviation complement each other so well that we thought this to be a particularly exciting partnership. By removing the limitations of scheduled service, we have been able to use his research-based approach to design unique and unparalleled private travel experiences that travellers and travel agents are craving in a post-pandemic world.”
