Save time with Seamless, Efficient, and elevated travels

Imagine a travel experience where you glide past airport lines, board a luxurious private jet, and arrive directly at the world’s most iconic destinations in record time. With TCS World Travel, this becomes your reality. At Montecito Village Travel, we proudly partner with TCS World Travel to offer discerning travelers a seamless, efficient, and elevated way to explore the planet.

In long-haul journeys such as TCS World Travel’s signature Around the World expedition, which includes must-see locations like Machu Picchu, Petra, and Angkor Wat, the contrasts between private jet travel and commercial airlines are remarkable. Here, we break down the numbers and show you why a TCS private jet expedition is the ultimate choice for those who value their time, comfort, and travel experience.

Time Savings You’ll Actually Feel

One of the greatest luxuries in life is time, and TCS World Travel guarantees you’ll have more of it to explore the world rather than waste it navigating complex travel logistics.

  • TCS Private Jet: A streamlined 25-day itinerary covers all destinations without wasting precious hours in transit.
  • Commercial Airlines: The same itinerary takes 34 days, requiring 9 additional days in travel due to layovers, forced overnight stops, and long connecting routes.

Take the iconic route from Siem Reap, Cambodia, to Agra, India. With TCS, a private jet flight connects the two destinations directly. On a commercial airline, however, you encounter several hurdles—including two connecting flights and a three-and-a-half-hour drive each way between New Delhi and Agra. That’s time lost sitting in airports and navigating hectic transfers instead of marveling at the beauty of the Taj Mahal.

Fewer Flights, More Comfort

When we say fewer flights, we’re not exaggerating. TCS makes every effort to simplify your worldwide adventure, which means you maximize time spent at destinations rather than in the air.

  • TCS Private Jet: The route requires 15 flights, most of which are direct.
  • Commercial Airlines: Expect 26 flights, including 6 overnight flights and multiple connections that not only disrupt your circadian rhythm but also chip away at the enjoyment of your trip.

Unlike squeezing into a crowded commercial plane for an overnight haul, TCS’s private jet ensures a relaxing environment throughout. With spacious seats, fine dining onboard, and attentive service, even the time spent traveling becomes part of the luxury.

Vastly Reduced Airport Wait Times

One of the most frustrating aspects of commercial air travel is the endless waiting at airports. Long lines at security, baggage delays, and layover limbo can easily drain the joy from any trip. TCS World Travel eliminates this inefficiency.

  • TCS Private Jet: Passengers spend only 9 hours total waiting at airports during the entire trip. This includes quick transfers to charter flights and one brief technical stop.
  • Commercial Airlines: Prepare for a staggering 84 hours of airport wait time. That’s more than 3 extra days spent sitting in terminals, waiting for gates, or enduring long check-in queues. Imagine the excursions and experiences you could enjoy in those three days instead!

By flying private, you bypass the most time-consuming aspects of traditional travel. Plus, with expedited security services and VIP handling arranged by TCS, you’ll spend more time exploring and less time stressing.

Direct Access to Iconic Destinations

TCS’s private jet expeditions are designed with an unparalleled focus on efficiency and convenience. Private jet travel opens the door to direct access, turning what would be logistical nightmares into seamless hops between legendary landmarks.

For instance, on a commercial itinerary during the Around the World expedition, you would endure significant delays caused by non-direct routes. TCS, by contrast, ensures flights are direct wherever possible, cutting out hours spent in transit. This means less time driving or waiting and more time wandering through UNESCO World Heritage sites, photographing majestic landscapes, and immersing yourself in local culture.

Stress-Free from Start to Finish

What truly sets TCS World Travel apart is their ability to handle every detail of your trip, leaving you free to soak in the wonder of each destination. Travel documentation like visa applications? Handled. Baggage management? Taken care of. Transfers from airports to luxury accommodations? Already arranged.

TCS also assigns dedicated expedition leaders and experts to accompany you, ensuring smooth travel and enriching your experience with fascinating insights. And in the unlikely event of a disruption, TCS’s trusted team will promptly adapt your plans with minimal inconvenience to you.

Category TCS Private Jet Commercial Airlines
Total Trip Length 25 days 34 days
