This release came across my desk. This is how another part of the world lives, but it is fascinating to see the draw that an event such as the Olympics has, in this day and age. I also had to use one of the photos of the planes that PlaneClear has access to for this ultimate travel experience.
Read the release, close your eyes, imagine you have $97k for a real adventure. When I grow up….

PlaneClear Partners with In The Know Experiences for Ultimate Summer Olympics Experience
NEW YORK – June 26, 2012 – PlaneClear, the dynamic private aviation firm that has
redefined standards in private jet travel, and elite travel company In The Know
Experiences, have partnered to create an exclusive Olympics program. This alliance
presents an opportunity to gain access to the most in-demand events in London during
the competition. The luxury offering includes private jet transfer, accommodation at a
highly sought after London property and choice seating to some of the most popular
games at the Olympics.
Seth Kaplan, Founder of In The Know Experiences said, “the London summer Olympics has
become the most exclusive event of the year. With tickets to events and flights to the
British Capital becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, this package offers access to
a host of Olympics activities with elite experiential service being provided at every
step of the way.”
For jet-setters sparing no expense on their Olympics travels, the five-night getaway to
the heart of London begins with a private-jet transfer via PlaneClear. Founded to make
the jet charter booking process fully transparent, PlaneClear provides pilot and safety
intelligence from leading third-party auditor Wyvern so travelers can make an informed
choice about their preferred aircraft type.
Upon arrival, guests will be checked in to the brand new Belgraves, Thompson Hotel, the
luxury hotel collection’s first exclusive foray into the European market. Located in the
heart of Belgravia, the property blends traditional British hospitality with an American
bohemian attitude.

with a choice of either access to 3 events with the best seats possible or 5 events with
second level seating. Options include swimming, diving, equestrian, water polo,
gymnastics, shooting and more. To further enhance the Olympics experience, guests
are invited to a prestigious Olympics Hospitality Tent for a day, with exquisite food,
beverage and entertainment provided whilst mingling with celebrities, athletes and more
in the VIP area.
Clients receive roundtrip airport transfers in a Mercedes S Class, or comparable vehicle,
with a 24 hour onsite concierge that will be able to attend their every need. The program

event at the world famous Box Nightclub or Yacht Party.
