Elite Traveler releases its pick of the top 10 private jets

If an upgrade from coach to first class isn’t enough of a luxury for you, Elite Traveler has just released its list of the top ten private jets in the world.

With prices ranging from $2 million to $317 million, these luxury jets are the 1%'s answer to getting away from that screaming toddler in 7B.

For those looking to spend big, the Airbus Corporate Jet, ACJ350 XWB is the way to go.

Costing $317 million, this jet is a full A350, which normally holds up to 366 passengers. In this case it seats just 25 people, so no need to worry about that extra carry-on.

For a 'starter jet' there's the Cirrus SF50 Vision. This costs $1.96 million and is the world's only single-engine private jet. Holding seven passengers, the interiors resemble those of a Cadillac Escalade SUV. This (relatively) modest aircraft will take you anywhere you'd like, but don’t expect too many luxuries outside of a cupholder and a wide leather armrest.

In a hurry? Cut a six hour flight down to four hours with the Gulfstream G650ER, which travels at Mach speeds and costs $66.5 million.

This jet can reach speeds of up to 710 mph, so you can sip champagne, gaze out your window and watch as those cross-country commercial flights trail behind you at a glacial 520 mph.

Another major bonus? The jet is fast enough to take you pretty much 'anywhere' on the planet non-stop, and it also means you can speed from the East to West coast and ring in the New Year twice. Travelling faster than time? Now that's a luxury.
