Escapes

For ultimate luxury, nothing compares to having your own jet waiting on the tarmac. Problem is, aircraft are a huge headache to maintain. Blue Star Jets takes the hassle out of private air travel, leaving only the excitement - their fleet of over 4,000 jets will carry you to and from anywhere in the world in high style.

Forget those little foil packets of peanuts and plastic cups of Diet Coke. When you fly Blue Star, you join the ranks of Sammy Sosa, Russell Simmons and Dennis Leary, a roster who demand world-class cuisine even at 35,00 feet.

"I've sent limos out to pick up takeout for our clients for everything from 'pigs in a blanket" to five course gourmet meals from the best restaurants in the world," says Managing Director Anthony Carey, Jr. "We've delivered fresh crabs from Joe's Stone Crab and comfort food from Sylvia's in Harlem. Sometimes people will bring a personal chef on board to cater a party. And we've had soup-to-nuts menus for a dozen people created by celebrity chefs like Wolfgang Puck."

And for those with a waistline or health requirements to consider? Specially prepared anti-aging meals by famed nutritionist Oz Garcia are available (Garcia is a member of Blue Star Jets' exclusive Air Salon). Blue Star has been known to arrange full Thanksgiving dinners for clients traveling on the busy holidays. No request is too large or small. So what'll it be? Beluga caviar service for 12? Green M&Ms? With Blue Star Jets, the sky is really the limit.

Friday evening. Our lemon-yellow Lambourghini Gallardo is waiting for us as we glide down to the tarmac. What a beauty.
