AI Luxury Travel Agent for UHNW & Private Aviation Dubai 2026: The 24/7 Concierge
The "Impossible" Request
Client: "I want to dine at Al Mahara (Burj Al Arab) tonight at 8 PM, then fly to Maldives at 6 AM tomorrow. Oh, and I need vegan sushi on the plane." Time: 4 PM. Human Agent: Panicking. Calling restaurants. Calling brokers. Result: "Sorry sir, restaurant is full." Consequence: Client leaves for a competitor.
