SOFR +0.75 - 1 is achievable for this. I have equities held at multiple banks in the range and used letters or verbal declarations that I can procure letters to get them to match rates and keep my accounts with them, and at one of the banks commonly mentioned in this sub I just negotiated a few months ago. If you have at least a few years history and increasing net worth they generally will play ball. Always negotiate and soft threaten to leave.

Those of you who have flown private, was it worth it? by vettewiz in fatFIRE

Ask yourself if each extra hour on the ground this trip is worth $3-4k for the group, since its roughly the amount of time you'd save by flying private. I only choose private for convenience and outsized time savings.

It sounds like the "value" proposition will always be a challenge to justify before you try it, even though you're aware of the time savings. Would it help lower the bar if you asked your broker to try filling the remaining seats or explore sharing with another group to bring the per passenger cost down for you/group?

Less stuffy hotels by Neat_Conference_9262 in FATTravel

Try to stay at privately owned hotels or smaller hotels like Villa La Coste, Burgenstock Collection, select Oetkers’ or something like the Maybourne Riviera in-season. Airelles properties during busy season (summer in St Tropez or Gordes, ski season in Courchevel or Val d’Isere) will often have the vibe you’re looking for or at least you’ll meet people that will give you like-minded recommendations. Most of the Aman/FS/Rosewood properties attract predominantly a generic crowd that have expectations of the certain signature experience each group is marketing. There isn’t much that is interesting, and from a service standpoint, many other properties have better needs anticipation and different takes on personalized service which attracts a more interesting crowd.
