With a satchel full of years and a bucketful of good fortune, you might say I’ve been privileged to travel in style to an unconscionable degree.

Key Takeaways:
- The author recounts a lifetime of privileged and luxurious travel experiences, often leveraging rewards points for stays at high-end hotels like the St. Regis and flights on Concorde or in first class.
- He also gained insight into the travel habits of the wealthy and celebrities through his work as a Part 135 charter pilot, flying private jets.
- Ultimately, despite numerous opulent commercial and charter flights, the author finds the greatest sense of "style" and satisfaction in owning and piloting his own private aircraft, from small planes to a business jet, with his first personal plane flight being the most elegant.
