jet-setted

Traveled in style

Jet-setted is the past tense of jet-set, meaning to travel frequently to glamorous destinations as wealthy socialites do: She jet-setted around Europe all summer.

The word derives from jet set, the international elite who could afford air travel when it was still exclusive.

The formation is slightly awkward—jet-set already contains set—but jet-setted has become standard.
