At 7 AM, a Global 7500 departs from Shanghai Pudong FBO. 🏔️ You sit by the cabin window, watching the Chinese coastline fade. 🍾 Your attendant brings a fresh-squeezed juice — in 11 hours, you'll be standing on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, feeling the warm Southern Hemisphere sun. 👔 This is your third time in Sydney, but every time, this harbour city makes you feel: it was worth it.
