Thankfully, becoming a high class travel expert doesn’t have to be as tough (or time consuming) as you might expect. There are a few key tips and tricks that you can utilize to master the art of luxury travel in no time at all. So, if you’re interested in upgrading your vacation experience like never before, then read on.
Choose the best destinations
Flying out to a destination such as Benidorm, in Spain, with the expectation of experiencing luxury is one of the worst mistakes that you can make. There are many locations around the world that just aren’t suited to a more high-class traveller.
Visiting an overflowing tourist hotspot that’s been designed to accommodate international travellers is likely going to be tacky and cheap. And this isn’t something that you want to be surrounded by when you’re trying to achieve a luxury vacation.
Fortunately there are many destinations that are ready and waiting to meet and even surpass your expectations. And all you have to do is take the time to seek them out. For example, you can visit Italy’s stunning Lake Como to be surrounded by jaw dropping views and celebrity neighbours. Or jet off to Japan’s capital Tokyo for a totally different yet equally luxurious vibe.
Reading up on potential destinations is always recommended. Other high-class travellers are bound to have been there in the past and have since shared their opinions for others like you to utilize.
Luxury travel in style
It’s all well and good booking an expensive penthouse apartment in a luxury city. But if you’re aiming to reach your destination in the back of a sweaty coach or squashed into an economy flight, then you simply aren’t traveling in style.
There are so many other options that you can explore that will provide you with the high class feeling that you seek. That includes a private empty leg flight for last minute getaways or fully staffed yachts that transport you from coast to coast.
Every aspect of your trip should be luxurious if you want to get the full experience of a top quality vacation. So it’s absolutely essential that you can plan out your journey to ensure that you travel in style at every opportunity.
Don’t forget about transfers too. As you’ll need a chauffeur to take you from your home to the airport rather than attempting to hail a taxi at the side of the road.
Mastering the art of luxury travel has never been so simple when you can take the time to make the most of these recommendations. Experiencing the vacation of a lifetime is a memory you’ll treasure forever, so what are you waiting for?
I am a 50-something Torontonian who loves everything about my city. It’s been my home, my playground, for my entire life. I went to school here. I met my wife here. I own real estate here. I love writing about the transformation of my city on the world stage, which hasn’t been anything short of dramatic. That continues on, as I write this. I write on the real estate scene. I write on travel and fashion. I like following the world of luxury watches.
But I love writing about cars – check that, luxury cars, a level of superior, engineering sophistication, high performance and style, that transports you not just from one destination to another but also out of whatever you are going through on a particular day, whatever mood you are in, all to another head space. It’s complete and total exhilaration, head to toe.
