I'm going on Vacation

Its a WWF Around the World Tour. You can join me on a remarkable 25-day journey by a luxury private jet for just $64,950.

In this case, use of the more technically “correct” term is actually less likely to convey the key implications to a lay audience.

I wonder if the private jet will charge extra for a second suitcase?

Southwest doesn't charge extra. Southwest is my favorite airline, when they fly from here to where I want to go.
