A private jet flight attendant said she acted as a nanny to some of the pampered guests onboard.
Cindy Kowalewski worked as a cabin host at VistaJet, soaring through the skies on a luxury plane and seeing the world as she did so.
She had long dreamed of being a cabin host - the name the exclusive firm uses for its flight attendants - and was catering to guests who could afford charters costing from $11,000 (£8,500) an hour.
She had started her career on commercial jets, but many of her colleagues at VistaJet made the jump from working at five-star hotels or on luxury yachts.
Before boarding the jets they were put through their paces at a two week boot camp in Malta, where they'd learn safety techniques, medical skills and pet body language to make sure they could read the mood of pampered pooches.
"The company requires its hosts to have this knowledge to ensure the safety of all in-flight passengers, including beloved pets, who receive the same exceptional service and attention to detail as their owners," Cindy told Insider.
Butlers from the prestigious British Butler Institute taught the flight attendants how to deliver a "refined, sophisticated experience" for customers, teaching them about table settings and silverware arrangements.
Professional nannies were also on hand to teach the crew members how to look after the princes and princess who came onboard with their parents - in fact, Cindy was enrolled in a program that specialises in childcare and nanny training.
Knowing your food and drink is also key. "Many VistaJet clients love wine, so during my training, I spent an entire day learning about it so I'd be able to offer the best recommendations possible. I did a blind tasting to assess different grape varieties' characteristics and recorded my tasting notes on cards," she continued.
Trainees were also taught plating techniques by a chef before shadowing an experience crew member on a flight.
Another flight attendant for the super wealthy is Emilia George, who has spent her career working as a member of on board staff for the rich, famous and influential and their private jets.
Emily says that the uber-rich see private jets as sky taxis, used to ferry them around with seemingly little care for their carbon-footprint.
"Rather than having to see each other, a divorced couple who had shared custody of their dog would send the pampered pooch back and forth on their plane," she told the Telegraph .
The layout and interiors of VIP charters change, but the quality is always paramount, with the latest tech laid out in comfortable surroundings, Emily said.
In the race to have the best jet, some have installed "on-board gyms, disco rooms featuring poles for girls to dance on and even a solid gold throne", adding millions onto the purchase price of the plane .
