Pan Am is bringing the golden age of travel back once again by adding a second departure of its private jet trip next year retracing the airline’s original transatlantic routes.
The airline, which represents a bygone era in the aviation industry, will now take off on two 12-night journeys from New York with stops in Bermuda, Lisbon, Marseille, London, and Foynes in Ireland. While the original trip was planned for June 27, 2025, to July 9, the airline has now added a second departure from June 15, 2025, to June 27, according to Bartelings Associates and Criterion Travel, which are running the trips.
Once the trip takes off, 50 lucky travelers will board a privately-chartered Boeing 757-200 aircraft with all-lie flat seats and enjoy continental cuisine as well as an open bar. Flights can last up to 5 and a half hours, but most legs will take about 90 minutes.
On the ground, luxury hotels like The Savoy in London and the Four Seasons Ritz in Lisbon along with unique opportunities like the chance to see a full-size Pan Am Clipper replica in Ireland and a private tour of Kensington Palace in London will complete the experience.
Reservations for the trips start at $59,950 per person, which includes flights, accommodations, most meals and drinks, and branded merchandise.
When the trip was first announced, Craig Carter, the CEO of Pan American World Airways, said it would be “the first of many exclusive themed flights back into the luxury travel space.”
Pan Am, which was known for its chic flight attendants and over-the-top onboard meals (think: beef roasted right on the aircraft), was originally founded in 1927 and ceased operations in 1991.
Another (more budget-friendly) way to step back in aviation history is to check out the TWA Hotel at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), which opened in 2019 in the former Eero Saarinen-designed terminal and features throwbacks like a vintage 1958 Lockheed Constellation plane-turned-cocktail-bar, a sunken lounge bar, and original penny-tiled floors.
