In the beginning, only the very rich and the very beautiful belonged to the jet set.

Now everyone wants to join. Nancy footballers, bit-part actors, sycophantic hairdressers. You name them, they’re all desperate to take off.

A man who’s actually done it: Mohammed Bendraoua, a first-class masseur who travels the globe for his clients. He costs more than most (just under £200 for two and a half hours), but he’s worth every penny (not that he’d admit it, mind you; he’s very hard-working and unbelievably gracious).

This Mohammed will go to the mountain (i.e., your house) anywhere in the world. He travels between New York, Paris, Milan and London (where he’ll be during March), complete with his own bed, candles and iPod. Find him, book him in, and for a decadent 150 minutes he’ll soothe, knead and pummel every inch of your body to heavenly oblivion.

No jet required.
