Remote Lands

A Unique Partnership

The Aman Jet Expeditions are a special collaboration between Remote Lands and Aman since 2013.

After decades of designing personalized travel in Asia for people who seek the remarkable in life, we set out to create something new and different—small-group private jet adventures showcasing the culture, history, cuisine and spirituality of an incredible diversity of destinations—in just one journey. With our friends at Aman providing the most extraordinary locations imaginable, the Aman Jet Expeditions were born. We have operated over 20 journeys since and to this day, the Aman Jet Expeditions continue to raise the bar for around-the-globe private jet travel.

The Pinnacle of Travel

Inside the Aman Jet Expeditions

Private Cars & Expert Guides

Private cars, drivers, and guides are included for each couple or solo traveler for all touring and transfers. While there may be shared events on certain days, such as special dinners, most days offer the flexibility to enjoy personalized private tours curated by Remote Lands' experts. It’s even possible to do the same trip two or three times having different unique experiences. Our discreet and knowledgeable guides are always available to enhance and enrich your journey.

Lavishly Appointed Private Jet

Travel aboard our luxurious custom-outfitted Airbus ACJ 319, thoughtfully designed with an open lounge configuration featuring only 19 VIP seats. Each journey accommodates a maximum of 16-18 guests, ensuring ample room for comfort. The in-flight experience is exceptionally pleasant with our guests often mentioning the moments spent bonding over champagne and refreshments as a highlight of the journey.

Designed for people who don't do group travel

The Aman Jet Expeditions operate on a hybrid model. While they are in essence small-group journeys that typically include a number of special shared experiences, all touring and services are bespoke to your preferences. This approach ensures that the expeditions involve a fun social group atmosphere, while retaining the advantages of private travel. This sets them apart from other global private jet trips, which frequently involve considerably larger day-to-day touring groups.

Expedition Leaders

The Aman Jet Expeditions are led by seasoned travel experts from Remote Lands, with some journeys guided by specialists intimately connected to the expedition's theme. Many expeditions are personally hosted by Remote Lands Co-Founder and CEO, Catherine Heald. Catherine has been named one of the world’s top travel specialists by Condé Nast Traveler consistently for the past decade. Our roster of specialists includes ordained Buddhist Zen Master, Shantum Seth, who guides the Mindful & Cultural Journey Aman Jet Expedition.

Exclusive Service, Exclusive Experiences

By traveling with Remote Lands you'll benefit from our decades of experience in creating personalized, exclusive, and meaningful travel.

Thoughtfully Curated Experiences

Each special experience—handpicked by the experts at Remote Lands and Aman—is designed to showcase the uniqueness, culture, and splendor of each destination, whether that's helicopter rides over Mt. Everest, sushi-making lessons with a fifth-generation chef, or tiger safaris in India. Explore each location in signature Remote Lands depth with your own private car, driver and guide.

Special Friends & Connections

Leveraging our deep local connections, we extend invitations to respected experts in fields such as the sciences, spirituality, anthropology, and history to join select days of the expeditions for casual talks and discussions. These specialists bring valuable context, knowledge, and intrigue to enrich your understanding and appreciation of the destination.

TAILORED PRE & POST TOURING

Enhance your experience with private and bespoke travel, either before or after your Aman Jet Expedition. Since 2006, Remote Lands has specialized in crafting extraordinary journeys in Asia, personalized to your unique interests. Many expeditions begin or conclude in destinations where we possess extensive expertise, including Japan, Southeast Asia, and the Himalayas.

Dinners & Events

The Aman Jet Expeditions frequently include a number of special dinners, cocktail parties, and events where you will have the opportunity to mingle with an intriguing array of guests, including diplomats, dignitaries, and royalty. The former Bhutanese ambassador to the UN, the grandson of legendary Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, and a Lao prince have all joined recent expeditions.

Featured In

The Jet

Inside Your Airbus ACJ 319

The Jet

Our jet is a luxurious custom-outfitted Airbus ACJ 319, modified to feature 19 seats instead of the standard 130, and is one of the finest ultra-long-range private aircraft available. The interior is configured in a spacious lounge design—there are two large cabins—creating a relaxed, comfortable, and social atmosphere that is quite unlike commercial jets.

The Service

As you fly between remarkable destinations, our dedicated and discreet team ensures you enjoy exceptional onboard service. With two attentive flight attendants always at your service, you can sit back in the lounge area, savor your preferred cocktail, and enjoy a journey of unrivaled luxury at 40,000 feet. Complementing our in-flight experience are two pilots, an engineer, and a chef.

In-Flight

Champagne, libations, and an ever-changing menu of culinary offerings are served throughout. Indeed, we like to say that the flights are like a soirée in the sky. So convivial is the flight experience, that many guests rank it among their favorite part of the expeditions due to the opportunities to dine and socialize in the sky.

The Ultimate Convenience

Traveling onboard our private jet offers unparalleled freedom and flexibility, enabling you to reach renowned destinations quickly, easily and in total comfort. Imagine going from Bhutan to Agra in India, enjoying a stroll around the iconic Taj Mahal, and seamlessly transferring to Amanbagh, all in a matter of hours rather than days.

“This was truly the trip of a lifetime.”
