Chapter 32: Jet Set
Release Date:
Spring 2008
Jet Setting once evoked images of glamorous travel—the world’s social elite jetting to exotic locations inaccessible to the average person. Paris, Monte Carlo, the Swiss Alps, Rome, the Greek Isles, and Hong Kong were their destinations. Now that air travel has become affordable to many more people around the world, the term “Jet Set” has lost much of its social cachet. Catching a flight these days is a lot like catching the bus. No frills, and bring your own peanuts.
Guest curators Chris Pastras and Jason Lee have traveled around the globe and are part of a new generation of world travelers exploring what it means to be a Jet Setter in the 21st century. For Frank Book Chapter 32 we present Jet Set, examining and redefining what it means to be a part of the Jet Set.
Pastras and Lee tapped into their global network of friends and collaborators to bring our readers the best advice on how to survive on the road. From reaching VIP status at the Admirals’ Lounge or working your way out of a foreign prison, knowing the proper etiquette for acquiring contraband in lands far and wide, or simply trying to find the nearest bathroom when abroad, the Jet Set Book will set the new standard for travel guides.
