We’re cruising 35,000 feet over the French Riviera, the plane’s wing cutting through billows of white. Below us, the sea is sparkling, and I spot a cluster of yachts anchored along the coastline. A ray of light hits my glass of Champagne and turns it to liquid gold. I take another sip. So this is what it feels like to be on cloud nine. I’m flying from London to St. Tropez with the private aviation company Wheels Up, and for the first time in my life, I don’t want a flight to end. Once you’ve go
