FMTY, short for Fly Me To You, is nothing new: bringing a companion of your choosing to you, rather than making do with the city of the moment, is a long-standing habit of the discerning traveller. Rather than looking for an escort where your diary happens to have set you down, you invite the one you want to come and find you there. Or to leave with you.
Felines is an international agency; sending its hostesses across borders has been part of the work for many years. Here is the format in brief, and why those who have tried it tend to come back to it.
FMTY: Fly Me to You
FMTY, Fly Me To You: you invite the escort of your choice to join you in another city or another country, or to accompany you on a journey. It is the local booking turned on its head. Instead of making do with whatever the week's city has to offer, you bring in the woman you would have chosen anyway, and geography stops being an argument.
The shorthand comes from English-language advertising, where independents prepared to travel would mark their profiles "FMTY available"; it outlived the adverts and settled into everyday speech, in French quite as much as in English.
Two arrangements share the name. In the first, she comes to you: you are in London or Singapore for the week, she boards a flight and meets you at your hotel. In the second, she leaves with you, and the journey is shared from the departure gate onwards. Either way, the travelling is hers; your plans stay exactly as they were.
Days Rather Than Hours
What you book is not travel; it is time. A date in town is measured in hours; an FMTY is measured in days, and that change of scale changes the nature of the encounter itself.
A business trip whose evenings are spent in charming company rather than alone with room service. A weekend built around nothing more pressing than a late breakfast. A holiday where the company is chosen rather than left to chance. Dinners, a night at the opera, long conversations, the small rituals a shared day invents; and nights with no audience at all, which is, let us admit it, part of the idea.
The most common case is nothing extravagant: a man whose work plants him in a foreign city for a fortnight, and who prefers the company of a woman he genuinely enjoys to the solitude of hotel lounges. The other classic is the weekend: two or three days carved out of the calendar, somewhere nobody is waiting for you.
The logic is that of the girlfriend experience, finally given the room it keeps asking for. Three hours make a fine dinner, and what follows it; three days make something else entirely: a small world of two, with its own jokes, its own habits, its own tempo. A closeness that has had time to become natural no longer feels like a first date, and that is exactly what seasoned travellers of the format return for.
As for the map, it stays open: Milan for the shows, Vienna for the opera season, Dubai when winter drags on, Amsterdam for a long weekend. We arrange these dates worldwide; the destination is yours to name.
How It Is Arranged
The rules are few, and they hold for every FMTY we organise, from the short European hop to the long-haul stay:
- The date takes place on your ground, never on hers: our escorts come to you and do not receive anyone at home (our FAQ on outcall).
- The setting of reference is your luxury hotel, five-star territory as a rule; a private residence, a chalet or a villa is possible too, provided the agency and your chosen hostess have settled it beforehand.
- Travel costs come on top of the fee: a lump sum or the actual costs, depending on the distance.
- For a stay abroad, or beyond 100 km of her home city, an advance is requested as a rule; our FAQ on the advance gives the detail. Your hostess sets aside several days of her diary and books her flights on the strength of your word; the advance gives that word weight, in both directions.
- The fee follows the duration of the companionship, nothing else: a weekend is charged as a weekend, whether it unfolds three streets away or three thousand kilometres from her door.
For everything else, it works just as any other date does; our guide to booking an escort sets it out, and the broader question of who travels to whom has an article of its own. One habit worth adopting: give plenty of notice. A call the night before rarely leads to a confirmation; allow a few days at the very least, often a few weeks, sometimes months for the busier dates and destinations.
An Agency Built for the Journey
Arranging a journey for two asks more than a few hours in town: diaries to reconcile, time zones, a venue to approve and, at the far end of it, a woman whose company holds for three days, not merely for a shared interlude. We have been doing this work for many years, quietly, for a clientele whose diaries pay little attention to borders. FMTY is sometimes filed away as the top shelf of the catalogue; we see it the other way round: for an agency built to be international, it is the heart of the exercise, and it is what our hostesses' passports are for.
Every escort we represent enjoys travelling, provided her own diary allows for it. It is worth arranging a little lead time, then, one that varies from one Feline to another and with the distance between her and you. Discover the women of the world we represent, tell us which of them you would picture at the far end of an arrivals hall, and we will be candid about what her diary allows, and how far ahead to plan.
As for discretion on the move: nothing in the way she travels announces the reason for the trip. In the boarding queue as at your hotel's front desk, she is one well-dressed traveller among many; and what those few days hold is nobody's business but yours.
So if a journey is coming, a city with too many quiet evenings in store, or simply the wish to travel accompanied, tell us about your trip. You will get a concrete answer: who could join you, where, and when.
