Video: VIP Luxury Flying on Comlux 767BBJ Private Jet

The 2020 Super luxury private jet flying experience. Imagine having the whole plane to yourself without sharing!

I was invited to try out the new Comlux 767BBJ in Zurich. The plane affectionately known as "SkyLady" has recently undergone a major refurbishment and upgrade program.

The flight attendant gave me a tour of the large plane. Inside the Comlux 767BBJ SkyLady, the multi-room cabins are divided into 6 independent areas; with a massive ensuite bedroom, a lounge room that can be converted into a second bedroom, a dining and meeting room, First Class, Premium Economy and crew rest area. It can fit up to 51 passengers.

The plane flew around Switzerland and Northern Italy for around 1.5 hours, with some very nice scenery en-route. I experienced the ultimate luxury in private aviation. A multi-course fine cuisine meal was served by Bijoux catering, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I also enjoyed the super fast 2KU band internet connection on-board.
