3. A TIME WHEN WE CONSULTED AND DESIGNED A 12-DAY TRIP BY PRIVATE JET FOR HAMILTON’S FAMILY 

During 1 month (from 23rd/11 to 22nd/12/2021), OnBird’s staff effort to find solutions and support from our tourism partnerships to recommend flight plans and customs formalities for all ten passengers and the jet at Phu Quoc within 12 days for Mr. Roger’s family to fit into the Government’s policies and regulations. 

To organise this tour, we had to set up all plans that relate to it in a detailed way and ask for approval from the Departure of Culture and Sports of Kiên Giang Province, People’s Committee of Kiên Giang Province, Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, Immigration Department. This was unprecedented for all work because the regulations and policies changed completely before and after the Covid-19 Pandemic. The whole OnBird team just breathed a sigh of relief right before the flight 1 day when the officially approved travel plan was completed.

After complying with the entry regulations applicable to international arrivals in the first phase of the pilot opening, the whole family of 7 people in turn stepped out of the international terminal gate in a joyful welcome from the OnBird Phu Quoc team.

The family didn’t know that our team and his brother’s family set up a plan to amaze Roger and his family at the airport.

After taking souvenir photos at the airport, our guide took 7 guests to a 16C VIP car exclusively for families to go straight to Mövenpick Phu Quoc according to the Government’s pandemic prevention regulations at that time applicable to international guests.

Surprisingly, on the way to the park, the whole group busted out in joy when they saw their brother’s family in the background. All 10 members were extremely happy after 2 years of lockdown.

During this vacation, the whole family was satisfied by OnBird’s recommendation to stay at the 5-star Mövenpick Waverly Phu Quoc resort, with professionalism and full support from the colleagues at Mövenpick Waverly Phu Quoc from the layout stage.
