Imagine exploring a handful of the world’s great wonders with top experts in their fields, not over a lifetime, but in a single epic adventure. Now imagine that adventure aboard a private plane designed to make the journey itself a rare delight — relaxed and refined, in the company of kindred, curious travelers. That’s the promise of a Road Scholar journey by private plane. This is educational travel at its most rewarding, its most luxurious and its most memorable. Join us as program experts Gary Bartelings and Kevin Durjun offer insights into how careful planning turns the intricacies of private plane travel into a seamless experience for Road Scholar participants and helps make these programs the most distinctive we offer. They’ll also share details about the features and onboard amenities of the plane, as well as the learning experiences we’ve created exclusively for these journeys.
