A Trip to Every World Heritage Site Priced @ Only…Business Class Air & Five Star Hotels Inclusive

by Adam Last updated March 20, 2013

VeryFirstTo, the UK equivalent of Gilt, is offering a two year trip to every world heritage site including business class airfare and five star hotel accommodation (where available). The price you ask? It’s only a cool ?990,000 (about 1.5 million USD) per couple. So what do you receive with your package?

VeryFirstTo exclusive: the most spectacular, never done before journey, visiting every World Heritage site. The two year trip features visits to the 962* places that the World Heritage Committee considers as having outstanding universal cultural and natural value. Destinations on The Ultimate Journey include: Mexico’s ancient city of Monte Alban; the sensational Taj Mahal in India; Petra the symbol of Jordan; Cambodia’s exotic Angkor temples; Spain’s Moorish Alhambra; the Great Pyramids in Egypt; China’s enchanting Forbidden City and Peru’s Machu Picchu sitting 8.000 ft above sea level. The ultra luxury adventure (with business class a minimum standard**) will see the exceedingly lucky couple enjoy the splendid facilities of hotels including: Sandy Lane (Barbados); Hotel George V (Paris); The Plaza (New York); The Taj Mahal Palace (Mumbai); Cipriani Hotel (Venice); and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel (Moscow). Bespoke luxury travel company Hurlingham Travel will be orchestrating the holiday. A donation of ?5000 will be made to UNESCO during the trip.

Perhaps most importantly, you will likely accumulate miles and points for your adventure as VeryFirstTo will be outright paying for the airfare and hotel rooms.

Adam is the proud Founder and CEO of both Point Me to the Plane and point.me. An international consultant turned TV programming strategist, Adam currently works full-time on both websites. His obsession with points and miles dates back to his freshman year at college. After browsing Flyertalk and Mileage Workshop, Adam pulled the trigger and signed up for his first Citibank AAdvantage credit card and MCI phone line (yes, landlines still existed). Back then, both deals were churnable and in no time at all, the college freshman had enough miles to travel to Europe and Asia in First Class for free, multiple times. Needless to say, he was hooked! Fast forward a few years and Adam of course ended up in a career with a heavy travel requirement…which meant extra miles for awards! As his colleagues and friends started to hear about and see pictures from his trips, they wanted in on the secret and Adam began to assist them with their bookings, Juicy Miles was born. At the same time, Adam started an email newsletter to prevent those less obsessed co-workers from squandering their point collection opportunities. The bi-weekly email covered everything from upcoming promotions, guidance on maximizing points, and redemption advice. The distribution quickly expanded outside the office and Point Me to the Plane became a BoardingArea blog.
