There is a reason a party feels different when it requires a passport. At home, even the most glamorous celebration still competes with real life. There are emails waiting, Monday meetings, school runs and the temptation to slip out before dessert.

Celebrity event planner Joe Blackman , who has created celebrations for royal families, global business leaders and high-profil

Ask anyone who flies private what they are really buying and the answer is rarely the cabin. It is the Thursday game they did not miss. The flight home where the kids sat across from them instead of three rows back, talking the whole way. “What is your time worth? Time savings of the private jet allows you to enjoy the more important things to you in life,” says founder Jim Segrave. Private aviation is a productivity purchase before a luxury one. The fleet runs Light, Mid and
