Ultra-wealthy travellers

THE allure of travel is unquestionable. Air ticket prices, which spiked when borders reopened and flights resumed, have remained high. Yet, we grit our teeth and pay, because we’ve learnt after the pandemic that we need to get out there. Anywhere.

The view from the uber-rich, however, is completely different. When money is no object and jet-setting around the world in first class is a given, what can possibly make their next holiday more exciting than the last?

In Friday’s edition of BT Lifestyle, we speak to travel consultants who specialise in luxury, bespoke holidays to find out what it takes to plan memorable trips for the ultra-high-net-worth as well as some experiences they’ve created.

Meanwhile, is it worth sitting through Martin Scorsese’s 3½-hour epic crime drama, Killers Of The Flower Moon, starring Leonardo Dicaprio? We give you the lowdown.

In Dining, go to Vietnam via Amoy Street at Lo Quay, a new restaurant that serves a fine dining menu with modern takes on pho and banh mi. Find out how it measures up in our review. Get all this and more in Friday’s issue of BT.
