Transportation options for those with unlimited funds will expand in 2016. We have new small private planes coming out that can take you and a few friends anywhere in a faster, more comfortable way. There are jumbo jets with private suites, showers, and staff to take care of your every need. There are luxury charter tours with hotel stays in the top getaway locations around the world. And for the really adventurous person with money to burn, there is the Virgin Galactic Space Plane.
A “seat to space” on a Virgin Galactic Space Plane requires a $250,000 deposit, and any would-be astronaut must apply for the opportunity to train for this ultimate in luxury travel. The aircraft that will travel past our Earth’s atmosphere into the near edges of space and zero gravity is called the SpaceShipTwo. It will launch from the space port in New Mexico, and currently, there are over 700 applicants waiting for their turn. The cabin they fly in is described as being spacious and focused on maximizing the views of Earth and outer space for all passengers. Each person who travels must train rigorously for the chance to go, and safety is the number one concern of all those involved with this project. With the space plane 90% structurally complete and two-thirds assembled and testing scheduled to commence in 2015, seekers of the world’s only out of this world ride are welcomed to apply in 2016.
The Space Plane is just one of ten luxury planes and flying experiences you can select from to travel in ultimate style. The other nine listed at Worthly require no special training, just bring all your money.
