How to fly like F1 drivers, pop stars and billionaires

What do Taylor Swift, Elon Musk, and Max Verstappen have in common? They've all ditched commercial flying — for good reason.

In this episode, Crystal Wong, president of APAC for Vista — the world's leading private aviation company — pulls back the curtain on the booming business jet industry. From subscription models and transparent pricing to flying dim sum to 30,000 feet, Wong reveals why private aviation isn't just a luxury — it's a time machine for the ultra-ambitious. With Asia-Pacific growing at 25 per cent and a new generation of under-30 founders leading the charge, the skies have never been busier. Buckle up.

02:07 How private aviation works

04:05 The subscription model and cost

06:20 Not just celebrities fly private

10:34 APAC’s private jet boom

13:16 Not luxury but a business tool
