I'm One of the Only Space Travel Advisors in the World—Here's How I Get My Non-Astronaut Clients Into Orbit
After two decades orchestrating truly extraordinary trips for the world's most discerning travelers at Roman & Erica, I've come to realize that the ultimate luxury isn't just about where you go; it's about how profoundly it changes you. As I write this from Cabane Tortin, a secluded alpine retreat accessible only by helicopter, the stars above feel closer than ever, beckoning us toward a new frontier. At SpaceVIP, we're not just facilitating space travel, we're curating transformative experiences that redefine luxury. Space isn't the future; it's the now. And engaging with it could be the greatest catalyst for human change, much like AI. We don't just gaze at the stars; we're booking passages to them. Here's how you can embark on this journey: Earth-based Preludes: Zero Gravity Flights Before committing to the cosmos, dip your toes into weightlessness. Our Zero Gravity experiences, available in the U.S. and France, let you float aboard a modified aircraft. Whether you opt for a single ticket or charter the entire plane, it's the perfect primer for space travel. Stratospheric Sojourns: Luxury Balloon Flights Travel in luxury with Zephalto. Zephalto For those seeking serenity over speed, stratospheric balloon journeys offer a gentle 10-mile-per-hour ascent to the edge of space. Céleste capsules, from the French startup Zephalto, elevates six passengers to 15 miles above Earth, providing panoramic views of our planet's curvature and the darkness of the cosmos. The six-hour voyage includes three hours at the highest point, with optional sommelier-led wine tastings. Priced around $200,000 per seat, it's a carbon-conscious, opulent alternative to rocket launches. Orbital Excursions: The Radian One Experience Radian Aerospace's Radian One spaceplane. Radian Aerospace Ready to orbit Earth? Radian Aerospace's Radian One spaceplane is redefining access to Low Earth Orbit (about 100 to 1,200 miles above the planet's surface). This singlestage-to-orbit vehicle launches horizontally using a rocket-powered sled, offering a smooth, runway-style departure that reimagines how we reach orbit. After seven to ten days of training, passengers embark on an eight-hour journey, completing five, 88-minute orbits—witnessing five sunrises and five sunsets. With a ticket price starting in the seven figures, it's a slightly more accessible entry point to orbital travel. Bookings for 2030 are now open by private invitation only. Ultimate Frontier: International Space Station and Beyond For the truly intrepid, a 10-day mission to the International Space Station awaits. After four months of rigorous training, you'll live 240 miles above Earth, experiencing the profound "overview effect"—a cognitive shift in awareness reported by viewing Earth from space—all day. Alternatively, consider a suborbital jaunt with Blue Origin; a spacewalk during a four-day orbital mission with SpaceX; or a private stay in a commercial space station with three of your best friends. These bespoke adventures can commence as early as next year, with prices starting in the tens of millions. The Future is Now From left: Roman Chiporukha, Rosmus Munk. From Left: SpaceVIP; Jonathan Hendrick/Claes Bech Poulson At SpaceVIP, we are pioneers, and our upcoming collaboration with Chef Rasmus Munk will offer the first, multi-course, Michelin-starred dining experience at the edge of space. Secure your place among the first 1,000 humans in space. A refundable deposit today ensures your spot in history. Wait too long, and you'll be joining the queue behind the others who can also afford it. Roman Chiporukha is a member of Travel + Leisure's A-List and specializes in space travel.

Tech Mishap Sends Man Into Panic for Whole Flight
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Massachusetts man has shared how he spent his entire flight worried after a notification came through on his watch telling him that his suitcase had been "left behind." Will, 20, shared the moment on Reddit's r/WellThatSucks, where the post has since gone viral with more than 61,000 upvotes. In the caption, he said: "Worried the ENTIRE flight until landing and realizing it was a glitch... New to AirTags and I guess this just happens? Lots of unnecessary panic." The alert from the Apple Airtag in his suitcase popped up shortly after takeoff from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, bound for Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport. A picture of the notification that left the man worried during his flight. A picture of the notification that left the man worried during his flight. Will He had been traveling around South Africa for two weeks and was proud to have avoided checking any luggage—until a gate agent insisted his overhead bag be taken at the door due to the plane's small cabin space. "At first when I got the notification I was nervous and rather confused," Will, who didn't give a surname, told Newsweek. "It was a small plane and an even smaller airport, so I didn't know how it could have been lost." Without WiFi onboard, Will couldn't refresh the AirTag's location and assumed the worst. The tracking app showed the last location of his suitcase at the Kruger airport, which added to his anxiety. "I remembered that there were many flights between the airports daily and I had a long enough layover where I could've waited until the next flight from Kruger with my bag before leaving Johannesburg," he said. "I was able to put my mind at ease enough with that." Thankfully, the panic ended the moment the plane landed in Johannesburg. As passengers disembarked via the ramp, Will spotted his suitcase being unloaded, and with the crew's permission, he got hold of it immediately. The Apple Airtag was launched in 2021. Small Bluetooth-enabled tracking devices are used to help track personal items with the help of the Find My app. While they don't have GPS, the vast size of Apple's device network means they can provide remarkably precise tracking worldwide. Since their launch they have surged in popularity with travelers, specially for monitoring checked luggage. During his layover, he shared the experience on Reddit—and by the time he arrived in London the post had gained viral attention with more than 61,000 upvotes. One commenter said: "Yeah, it's usually a false alarm and catches up." While another wrote: "My AirTag in my wallet does this all the time when my wallet is sitting next to me in the car."
