Travelling around the world is the ultimate desire of many travellers. Which means of transport to choose, then: car, boat, bicycle, camper van... But you've got to have the time for it, and the organization involved is inevitably costly and colossal. All this can quickly prove discouraging. What if, to make this experience of a lifetime possible, we opted instead for a round-the-world trip by private plane, with the specialist in this field? Discover several ports of call on 5 continents, spend the night in hotels that are true earthly paradises, enjoy memorable experiences on the spot, experience an exhilarating human adventure, all while being freed from material and administrative constraints: there's no need to hesitate. Here are 5 good reasons to fly around the world.

1. Travel like a dream

The hero of Jules Verne's novel Phileas Fogg, challenged us to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. TMR, a travel designer with 36 years' experience, offers to make the most mythical of journeys in 21 days. The company has already completed 46 round-the-world tours, including 9 aboard Concorde! TMR's circumnavigation of the globe aboard a private plane offers an incredible kaleidoscope of the planet, and saves precious time between each stopover. The journey is made from east to west - in the right direction in relation to time zones - to maximize the time for discovery at each stopover. You don't spend a night on the plane, but in the 5-star palaces booked by TMR in each destination. The round-the-world trip includes 9 stopovers on 5 continents. Once there, two to three days are devoted to discovering the most incredible places on the planet. In just a few hours, you're on your way from one world to another. The fastest way to connect continents is by plane. TMR's round-the-world flight is fully booked for the duration of the trip, and is waiting for you on the tarmac at every stopover. You won't be using standard airlines, and your carbon footprint will be much lighter. Thanks to the good care of the TMR team, your passage through the airports is express (ultra-simplified formalities) and you don't have to carry your luggage (it's waiting for you in your hotel room at each stopover).

2. From one day to the next, incredible urban and natural landscapes

Wake up facing Tahiti's most beautiful lagoon, and the next day find yourself strolling through Sydney's most iconic neighborhoods? It's possible, and part of the experience of the 47th edition of the TMR Round the World Tour, which runs from November 12 to December 2, 2023. A 21-day journey by private plane that begins in Paris and continues with the discovery of Havana's colonial architecture. In Cartagena de Indias (Colombia), you'll discover the exotic atmosphere and beautiful buildings inherited from the Conquistadores, before discovering the mysteries of the moai: stone giants located on mythical Easter Island. After Papeete and Sydney, we head for the ancient city of Angkor, a Unesco-listed marvel in the heart of the jungle of Siem Reap province. Then on to Vietnam, where the waters of the Red River delta rival Halong Bay in beauty. TMR even offers a 2-day junk cruise to the heart of the "dragon pearls". The world tour ends in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, in a Thousand and One Nights atmosphere on the mythical Silk Road. The monuments of what is considered to be one of the world's oldest cities will leave no one indifferent.

3. Comfortable travel

While traveling around the world by boat, rail, car, bicycle or camper van is time-consuming, environmentally unfriendly, expensive and a hassle, flying is the fastest, most pleasant and comfortable option. For the record, the new private plane selected by TMR (A330-300) is that of the French airline also chosen to fly Miss France 2023 and all the candidates. The seats are comfortable, all equipped with individual screens. Traditional, Premium or Business class, the choice is yours, depending on your budget. On board, the cabin crew and TMR's professional escort team take great care to pamper passengers. "Luxury, calm and voluptuousness", everything is included: champagne, drinks, choice meals and top-of-the-range service. No other means of transport can match this combination of speed and comfort.

4. An all-inclusive trip

Imagine organizing a trip around the world all by yourself. Taking care of travel arrangements, accommodation reservations, visas, excursions and local visits. It's impossible to keep track of everything, and it's easy to get lost. TMR's 36 years of experience make all the difference: a world tour by private plane includes everything (luxurious hotels, meals, professional accompaniment, tours with French-speaking guides, gala evenings and shows all over the world...)! Discoveries include the San Felipe de Barajas castle in Cartagena de Indias, the Sydney Opera House and the Ta Prohm monastery in Angkor, or discover the flora and fauna of Moorea and your cruise on Halong Bay... special mention for the Maori ritual dances at sunset in front of the moai on Easter Island and the farewell gala evening in Samarkand.

Tours are offered every day. Travelers also enjoy free time to appreciate the heritage and natural gems of each destination. Not to be missed are options for unforgettable experiences, such as a helicopter flight over Sydney Harbour or a stay on Marlon Brando's island hotel.

5. Freedom from many constraints
