Need a quarantine concierge? Yours for £5k

Are your clients worried about being stuck indoors, with no-one to visit their horses at the stable?

We jest, but actually, with more people likely to be accepting of – or unexpectedly caught out by – quarantine after travelling, a high-end errand-running service could be the way forward for some.

Or how about a more mundane service, like getting all the holiday laundry whisked away and sorted? Welcome to the new Quarantine Concierge Experience, launched by private jet broker, Air Charter Service.

From chauffeur airport transfers, virtual personal training sessions and dog walking, to food deliveries and Friday night “quarantinis” the bespoke experience aims to cover everything for luxury travellers quarantining after their trip.

“With the UK Government’s quarantine rules changing almost on a weekly basis, Air Charter Service understands the hesitation some travellers may have when it comes to booking their overseas holidays,” said Justin Bowman, chief executive of Air Charter Service, which arranges more than 23,000 charter flights annually.

The Quarantine Concierge Experience can be added to any private flights booked through the broker and is aimed at “ensuring everything customers could possibly need will be delivered straight to their door” – for around £5,000.

That would get you services such as a chauffeur service to and from the airport; two food shop deliveries; a case of Whispering Angel wine delivered; Quarantini cocktails delivered on a Friday; three newly published books; daily newspaper delivery; daily dog walking or horse care; six sessions with a personal trainer via Zoom; Netflix or Amazon Prime access; laundry service for all post-holiday washing and ironing; a nightwear set and slippers from The White Company; and an at-home spa set (including scented candle, face masks, bath oils).
