There’s one dedicated day in the year to show your mom how much you appreciate all she’s done for you over the years. Give her a Mother’s Day gift to remember by whisking her off to one of the world's most luxurious retreats by private jet.
Charter a Private Jet for Mother’s Day
The origins of Mother’s Day can be traced back to Ann Jarvis, a social activist who founded the West Virginia state holiday “Mother’s Friendship Day” – an annual holiday aimed at reuniting families who’d been divided by the Civil War.
As a way of memorializing Jarvis after her death, and in order to continue this tradition, her daughter Anna campaigned to make Mother’s Day in the USA a recognized national celebration on the second Sunday of May each year. It was first celebrated on May 10, 1908, and has now grown into a holiday dedicated to showing appreciation to America’s moms and showering them with gifts.
Mother’s Day 2022 falls on May 8th and is the perfect opportunity to either plan a surprise trip home or whisk your mom away on vacation. From the world’s best spas to her favorite vacation spots, here is a list of the best Mother’s Day gift ideas – all just a luxurious private jet charter flight away.
Spas
Vivamayr Altaussee, Austria
Vivamayr Altaussee is the winner of several awards, including the World Luxury Spa Awards 2021 and the Conde Nast Readers Choice Awards 2020 and 2019. On the shores of Lake Altaussee, it is a wellness retreat focused on personal wellbeing and returning the body to a healthy state. Following a personal appointment with a doctor on arrival, guests can rejuvenate with a bespoke wellbeing program.
You can beat the cramp and the crowds by taking a charter flight to either Linz Airport, which is a one-hour and 45-minute car journey from the spa, or Salzburg Airport, just one hour away.
Rancho La Puerta, Mexico
You and your mom can renew your mind, body, and spirit at one of the world’s most coveted fitness and spa retreats in Tecate, Mexico.

When you book a private plane through Air Charter Service, your dedicated account manager can take care of booking arrangements, including transport to and from the spa.

Schloss Elmau is a wellness oasis in the Bavarian Alps where you can treat your mom to a stay in one of the 47 new suite retreats. She’ll love the indulgent spa facilities that include a pool, a contemporary concert hall, and one of the world’s biggest hotel libraries. After settling in, participate in a qigong workshop and explore the surrounding forest on a hike before enjoying one of Schloss Elmau’s famous hot stone or physio-relax massages.
