Tourexpi
A
festival above the clouds
VistaJet,
the world’s first and only global private aviation company, is reimagining the
Mid-Autumn Festival with a unique in-flight experience in partnership with
Mandarin Oriental. From September 22 to October 7, VistaJet Members will enjoy
artisanal mooncakes paired with cocktails and mocktails that pay tribute to
Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, and Singapore.
“This
Mid-Autumn Festival, VistaJet brings the joy of Asian festivities to new
heights, literally,” said Crystal Wong, President, Asia Pacific. “With
sophisticated cocktails, playful mocktails, and decadent mooncakes, we want
every passenger to join in the ultimate in-flight celebration.”
Destinations
in a glass
Each
cocktail reflects the spirit of its city:
·
Hong Kong – Torii: a Negroni twist
with sweet potato shochu and lychee, echoing the city’s balance of urban energy
and natural serenity.
·
Shanghai – 沪 Memory: osmanthus gin with rice wine,
vanilla and lemon, capturing autumn evenings along the Bund.
·
Beijing – Palace Turet 角楼: jasmine, peach, gin and champagne, evoking
the golden silhouette of the Forbidden City.
·
Beijing – Kirin 麒麟 (mocktail): pineapple, mango, coconut and
lemon for a refreshing non-alcoholic option.
·
Singapore – Reclaimed Sling: a refined
take on the city’s classic cocktail with gin, pomegranate, herbal liquor and
lemon.
·
Singapore – Gao Lak (mocktail): black
bean vinegar, water chestnut syrup and non-alcoholic malt, a nod to hawker
traditions.
Members
can also explore fine wines through the Wine in the Sky program, curated with
Michelin-starred restaurants and global suppliers for an elevated dining
experience.
Family
mixology workshops
Beyond
the skies, VistaJet and Mandarin Oriental will host private mixology workshops
in Hong Kong and Singapore. Families can learn cocktail and mocktail recipes in
interactive sessions with expert mixologists. Appointments are available
exclusively through VistaJet Private World with 72 hours’ notice.
The
ultimate festival reunion
VistaJet’s
global fleet of over 270 aircraft guarantees access to Mid-Autumn gatherings
anywhere in the world. The Global 7500, the largest and longest-range business
jet with four living spaces, can fly up to 17 hours non-stop — ensuring that
Members can reunite with loved ones in style.
