MEN who fly their own private aircraft know more than most about living the high life. Instead of taking commercial flights, businessman Gregory Ang, 55, and Internet entrepreneur Fabian Lim, 43, pilot their own aircraft on business trips.
In the latest edition of The Life digital magazine, out on May 29, Mr Ang tells Life! journalist Bryna Singh about his many exotic destinations and flyovers, such as Cannes, the Red Sea, Dubai, Karachi and Chiang Mai.
One of the best perks of his hobby? His frequent flights to Tioman island in Malaysia for a roti prata breakfast with friends.
