Departing New York City on June 27, 2025, the Tracing the Transatlantic Pan Am commemorative journey will fly round-trip to Europe, stopping in Bermuda; Lisbon, Portugal; Marseille, France; London; and Foynes, Ireland.
“Since 1927, Pan Am has left an indelible mark on the world. From humble beginnings as the first commercial carrier for the U.S Air Mail, Pan Am’s founder Juan T. Trippe went on to create a vast aviation empire across the globe, literally bringing the world closer together one flight at a time,” said Craig Carter, CEO, Pan American World Airways, and owner, Pan Am Brands. “This journey, tracing both the original Pan Am Southern Transatlantic Route between New York and Marseilles and the Northern Transatlantic route between London and New York, has been painstakingly designed to honor the unmatched legacy of Pan Am in the most respectful way.” Carter will host the journey.

Bartelings, specialized in touring by private aircraft, operates the journey, which begins and ends with gala evenings at the newly renovated Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. The journey is now open for bookings, with rates starting at $59,950 per person. Learn more.
Linda Freire, chair, Pan Am Museum Foundation, and former Pan Am Flight Attendant, said, “The notion that a commemorative Pan Am flight will celebrate all we stood for is a testament to the strength of the brand and what the airline and its people stood for. Pan Am’s legacy in world history and the airline’s pioneering achievements in aviation live on. I can’t wait to see the aircraft with Pan Am livery taking off from JFK.”

All archaeology-obsessed eyes turned hopefully toward Egypt earlier this year when the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum outside Cairo finally began welcoming visitors after construction delays, funding roadblocks and political upheaval in the region (among other factors) conspired to keep things delayed for many long years. The museum’s cherry on the top is slated to open this summer, with the July opening of the museum’s 20-plus-years-in-the-making Tutankhamen galleries and accompanying cache of some 5,000 artifacts and treasures from the boy king’s tomb.
