Ten status-symbol holidays to brag about this year
Forget private jets and penthouse suites. Steal the limelight with tales of a hydrogen balloon flight to the edge of outer space, priced at $182,377 per person.
Entertaining friends and colleagues with tales of enviable trips was a key part of the travel experience long before the rise of social media, but the ante on what constitutes boast-worthy has certainly been upped in recent years. A luxurious beach holiday to a tropical island? Unlikely to impress at the office water cooler. A stay in a penthouse suite in a five-star hotel? Probably not going to cause a stir at your next dinner party.
During the six-hour flight, budding astronauts can sip on cocktails at the “Space Lounge” and listen to tales from the pilot.
