Check out the latest Christmas gift at Neiman Marcus.

What an odd price tag. I'm so used to the 9's style of commercial pricing that I was sort of expecting something like $1,799,999.99.

Is there an in-flight movie?

I'm starting my savings plan today!! Just checked my old Credit Union account.

Only $1,769,346.53 to go!!! Woo hoo!!!

I thought they'd give a discount for a group, the price is 290,000 per person, is this Neiman Markus' markup?

Inflight movie is Apollo 13. That should churn up some drama on the flight.

Looks like a publicity stunt by NM to me, they'll never sell this package when it's cheaper to go to Virgin direct.

The package also includes a post-flight vacation on Branson's Necker Island (where Sir Richard himself will award you and your fellow passengers with your astronaut wings) but yes, it's still cheaper to book directly. Traditionally Neiman-Marcus' annual Christmas catalog is filled with high-end items designed more for the publicity they attract than for actual sales, although I'm sure they'd be happy to take your money for a flight if you're so inclined.

There's some NM markup, but I think additional price increases come from the 4 days at Sir Richard's island. I haven't seen that mentioned elsewhere for the $200K base price.

Very few people who can afford $200K would turn down the opportunity to score additional media exposure for purchasing this.

As a longtime NM cardholder, I wonder if my INCircle reward points count towards this trip:

I suppose that, if you can afford $200k per person for a flight, you can afford $12k per night for accomodations, the pleasure of Sir Branson's company for 4 nights, and a pair of astronaut wings.

(Well, just under $12k per night per person. The trip to Branson's island is actually $47k per person for 12 people. So, for 4 nights, it's $11,750 per night, but really, at $11,750 per night, what's an extra $250?)

Methinks this would be a little excessive for a Boss's Day gift 11 days from now...

Are the pod bay doors computer controlled?
