Love travelling in style? VistaJet is now partnering with Michelin-starred Tosca di Angelo at The Ritz-Carlton, the Waldorf Astoria Maldives’ Ithaafushi and more to offer delicious meals in the skies

Say bye to ugly jeeps and hello to Lamborghini’s all-terrain super sports car Huracán Sterrato; meanwhile, Rimac Nevera is the world’s fastest electric car, making it both super-slick and eco-friendly

2023 is looking to be the year that borders are fully reopened and we can finally bid farewell to the pandemic that has plagued the world for the past few years. For some lucky travellers, flying no longer means a sacrifice to the god of good food. Nor does supercars.

Here are three luxury nuggets you need to know this year if you love to travel in style.

1. Plain food no more

When you’ve forked out a fortune for a private jet, what you don’t want while you’re in the air is food that comes under a foil lid and tastes vaguely of cardboard. Rejoice, then, financially aviated foodies, for VistaJet is here to make sure your taste buds are appropriately tickled on your next C-suite business trip.

The business aviation company has introduced a new private dining programme, which essentially means a range of properly posh in-flight meals, created in partnership with top restaurants, and all apparently designed to deal with the effects on the taste buds of everything from the pressurised cabin to the dry air and background hum of the engines.

Passengers departing Hong Kong can get meals created by the Michelin-starred Tosca di Angelo restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, while other partners include Origin Grill at the Shangri-La Singapore and the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi.

2. Master of all trades

Generally the descriptions “supercar” and “off-road vehicle” signify very different types of transport indeed. Well, not any more. Lamborghini describes its new Huracán Sterrato as the world’s first all-terrain “super sports car” and boasts of its ability to thrive on dirt surfaces as well as on asphalt.

Unveiled at Art Basel in Miami on November 30, 2022, the Huracán Sterrato – which Lamborghini has been teasing for years – is a wildly unconventional looking machine, with a dramatically aggressive profile and a whole host of sporty features, including raised suspension, plastic cladding and LED rally lights above the front bumper.

Quite how anyone in Hong Kong would ever make use of the car’s adeptness over rough terrain is a fair question, but then the fact you can barely get supercars out of second gear here hasn’t stopped people in the city buying them, so that probably won’t either.
