Crooked Compass has launched a new sister company, Adventure by Air, offering travel around Australia by private plane or helicopter, with fully customisable itineraries.
A selection of eight “Signature Curated Journeys” include Kimberley & Top End, Groote & Tiwi Islands and Tempting Tasmania, and itineraries can be booked as is, or modified for an exclusive and personalised journey.
For company Founder, Lisa Pagotto, a life dedicated to travel has resulted in a deep-rooted passion for aviation. Adventure by Air is a concept close to her heart, so much so that she is currently training to obtain her pilot’s licence.
“Venturing into the exhilarating world of aviation has always been a dream of mine. Thanks to COVID-19, the downtime from business as usual and the necessity to think outside the box with new product offerings ignited the dream and gave me the drive to make it happen. Adventure by Air is taking personalised service to new heights, literally.”
Australia by Air, the company’s flagship itinerary, is a 32-day luxury journey circumnavigating the country by private aircraft, exploring the most high-end and remote lodges, homesteads and station stays. Paired with exclusive experiences and behind-the-scenes encounters, this is the ultimate Australian bucket-list holiday. The itinerary can be tailored to meet personal style, pace and budget, with pricing from AUD$147,000 per person.
Mystery flights are available for the adventurous and spontaneous traveller. Departing from all major airports and select regional airports, the journey includes a private aircraft to a mystery destination and at least one exclusive dining and local touring experience specifically related to the region. One or two-day packages start from AUD$1,700 per person for intrastate travel, or from AUD$3,500 per person for interstate journeys.
Proposal and wedding packages are also available. Pop the question on a scenic flight, or elope at a remote destination, such as a private island or secluded winery.
Adventure by Air travellers choose their aircraft to meet their style of travel, level of comfort and the type of air experience they are seeking. Take your pick from a fixed wing aircraft, helicopter, sea-plane or high speed luxury jet.
