How adventurous do you think you are, really? Because one travel company would like you to take that wild spirit to its limits. Chapman Freeborn, a global aircraft charter specialist and aviation support company, is offering travelers the chance to do something zany: go on a trip without knowing the destination first.
The company has launched its new Blind Booking program, "designed for American travelers headed to Europe," only where they go in Europe is anyone's guess until it's time for wheels up.
"Inspired by the same wanderlust-driven mindset fueling the popularity of exploring and immersing in new cultures and destinations, Blind Booking gives travelers the chance to fly by private jet to a holiday retreat they won't learn about until right before takeoff," the company shared in a statement to Travel + Leisure .
To get in on the fun, all travelers need to do is choose their departure airport in Europe and select a theme, which the company said could be anything from "a romantic escape, cultural city break, beach holiday, or outdoor adventure." Travelers can then submit a request for a one-way flight for up to six passengers. (So hopefully your crew is just as adventurous as you.)
Those interested should hear back from a passenger flight broker who will go over a few details regarding the dates, departure airport, and number of passengers, and reveal the selected blind booking category to ensure everyone is aligned. Then, they will reveal the city, and you can be on your way. Don't worry. There is one more out: if you do not like the destination offered, you can withdraw your request free of charge.
"For blind booking customers, the appeal lies in the spontaneity and exclusivity," the company added. "Chapman Freeborn offers an elevated travel experience without the complicated logistical overplanning, ideal for adventurers who want to let go and be surprised, but still expect luxury at every step."

And if you really love this idea, you can try it out with Chapman, then try and give it a go with Scandinavian Airlines, which started offering a mystery flight called 'Destination Unknown' in 2024. As T+L previously reported, the airline sold tickets for its mystery flight exclusively to members of its frequent flier loyalty program who had the chance to redeem 30,000 miles for a seat. Though its ticket window is now closed, you can sign up to receive an alert about future trips at flysas.com.
As for the Chapman trip, those begin at about $3,400, which feels like a great rate for a private plane adventure to … anywhere.
