jet setter

First-class world hopper

A jet setter is someone who travels frequently to glamorous destinations, typically among the wealthy elite.

The term evokes a lifestyle of hopping between international hotspots—Paris, Monaco, Dubai—for pleasure rather than business.

It carries connotations of glamour, leisure, and disposable income: She's become quite the jet setter since her promotion.

The related adjective jet-setting describes this lifestyle or the people who live it.
