Around the World with Road Scholar: Kitt T.’s Life-Changing Experience

The Art of Seamless Travel

"You would never plan this journey on your own," Kitt reflects. "The logistics would be overwhelming!" Instead of managing multiple international flights and separate itineraries, our President’s Journeys artfully weave together a curated itinerary of world-renowned destinations into one cohesive experience.

Exceptional Value

What surprised Kitt most was the program's remarkable value compared to similar offerings. "This Road Scholar program represents extraordinary value among private plane journeys around the world," she notes. The efficiently planned itinerary, combined with Road Scholar's educational focus and luxury amenities, creates what she describes as "an incredible value for what you're experiencing." While other such programs can cost up to twice as much, Kitt felt that Road Scholar's commitment to educational travel made this exceptional experience more accessible without compromising on quality.

Beyond the Ordinary

This adventure stands apart through what Kitt calls a "high-touch environment." Three dedicated Road Scholar Group Leaders accompany participants throughout the entire program, complemented by teams of country-specific local experts whose expertise proves so compelling that even non-Road Scholars in hearing distance often linger nearby to catch fragments of their insights!

The Private Plane Experience

The custom-configured aircraft becomes more than just transportation — it transforms into a flying luxury hotel. With its central lounge space, comfortable seating arrangements that rotate between flights and attentive crew, the aircraft offers a sanctuary between destinations. "We were spoiled," Kitt notes, describing how participants could rest, socialize or simply relax with refreshments while crossing continents.

Unparalleled & Thoughtful Logistics

The President’s Journey programs’ attention to detail shines in every aspect, according to Kitt. Participants never need to handle their checked luggage in airports. Dedicated teams guide them through immigration and security, often via special lines. Visas and travel documents are managed seamlessly. As Kitt observes, "Even if we had difficulty clearing customs, we knew the plane wasn't leaving without us!"

Exceptional Accommodations

The carefully selected hotels surpass expectations. Kitt, who has extensive experience with luxury properties from her business travel days, found each accommodation "beyond fabulous, each in its own way."

Unexpected Discoveries

Perhaps most revealing were the discoveries Kitt made in unexpected places. "If you had told me before I left that I would adore Oman, I would not have believed you," she shares. "I don’t think I would ever have visited them as destinations in and of themselves — and I would have been totally wrong. Both were magnificent, in their own unique ways."

Considerate Flexibility

The President’s Journeys accommodate various comfort levels. Though these programs are multi-week and require stamina, to the best of their ability, Road Scholar provides options to meet participants' physical capabilities at particularly challenging sites like Petra. That attention to individualized detail works toward ensuring that every participant can fully experience each destination in their own way.

For Kitt, the President's Journey by Private Plane Around the World transformed what could have been an overwhelming achievement into an elegant, enriching exploration of some of the world's most remarkable places. 

The President’s Journey collection strives to be a testament to Road Scholar's commitment to creating educational adventures that exceed expectations while honoring the spirit of discovery that drives us all to explore.
