VIP VVIP – Rock Star Airport Services

Posted on by

Travel in commercial airports is not kind to travelers, however, there are methods to avoid lines and crowds. Dodge the Terminal Trudge, our VIP or VVIP Airport Service can be reserved at a long list of global airports. CDG and several other airports offer the James Bond BMW Tarmac Transfer – I’ve enjoyed, and it’s thrilling!

David Lewis, a leading British neuropsychologist from Mind Lab, an independent London research consultancy, reports the impact or airport travel can be severe. The results of a survey done at Heathrow Airport were shocking. Dr Lewis, who coined the phrase “road rage” 25 years ago, found that a “growing frustration with the overall state of the airline industry was a major culprit of air rage.”

How do mere mortals avoid airport stress? Our clients are addicted to VIP Airport Services all around the world.  If Covid taught us anything, avoiding throngs and teeming airports is at the top of the list. Airports are practically the only place left with mask rules.

Staying in an airport hotel for a few hours or overnight, our VIP team will deliver you to the hotel door and meet you again for your return to the gate or check in. A few clients have enjoyed this service recently in Spain and Dubai. Nothing more challenging than a 1 am arrival, collect your bags and navigate to another terminal to an airport hotel on your own.

VVIP SERVICES – Airport Arrival, clients are greeted at the aircraft door, tarmac transfer by car to a private VIP Lounge. Passport and customs carried out by a dedicated security officer. Complimentary refreshments, baggage retrieval and deliver to your car or a separate baggage car. AVOID the terminal completely.

Car services to and from airports can be added as well. Separate luggage cars can be added. Each airport has specific rules, we can add VVIP or VIP Services all around the world.

I’ve enjoyed the VVIP Rock Star Experience at CDG, cruising around the tarmac and avoiding the terminals is truly a VVIP Experience.

Highly Recommend.

Legacy Travel – Wander with our Travel Tribe

Posted on by

Eighteen years ago, when I founded Lifestyle Management, my primary goal was to curate bespoke Journeys focused on creating lasting memories and experiences. Legacy Travel.

Travel is all about making a dream come true, whether it is the dream of adventure, relaxation, or education. We’ve been creating lasting memories for our exclusive clients and their families all this time. In the last week, a few clients shared their compliments, I am glowing!

We designed a summer Scotland excursion for a lovely East Coast client who traveled with her not quite as athletic dad. Fife Arms was the perfect starting point with our exceptional guide and raconteur, Simon, a local land steward for over 20 years. Accessing the Balmoral Royal grounds, he designed the perfect relaxed hiking day suitable for Dad and with a peek and picnic on Royal grounds for the daughter, a Royal loving and very able hiker! On to Edinburgh, with our exclusive guides tailoring the touring to please two diverse travelers. She designed a beautiful photo collage of their Scotland Journey for her dad for Christmas!

Two exceptionally diverse trips, the second Journey was for a fun and intrepid local family of four, whose kids have seen much of the world with their parents. Despite being slayed by flu in London, they carried on to Stonehenge, private history, and art tours and onward to France to explore D-Day battlefields and an outing to Versailles. From the parents: ‘We’ve been watching movies recently featuring London and Paris, and our boys love that they can recognize the sites that we toured, with your help. Such wonderful trips with you this year, and we’re looking forward to many more! Amar, Prabha, Ishaan, and Akaash.’

My Mantra from day one was to create Legacy Travel, putting the ultimate touch on Journeys designing distinctive experiences of a lifetime, unique authentic wanderings.

Travel creates a teaching environment, we learn, we are challenged; I find travel the absolute essential antidote to everyday routines. Fresh vistas, foreign languages, interesting foods, curious customs, and people in indigenous dress – seeing places I’ve never seen before. A pleasing adventure of searching new locales for client travel, the pursuit never gets old.

It’s a new year, will you linger longer, prioritize family time, volunteer in a foreign country, fill your passport pages?

Beyond grateful for our delightful Travel Tribe! Our greatest compliment is very happy clients.
