We left NYC Monday morning on a chartered plane with 100 of the most powerful women in tech, media, fashion, and policy—and when we landed in San Francisco, we were joined by 100 more. What ensued was 21 hours of networking, brainstorming, laughing, thinking, and being whisked to some *insane* bespoke experiences. Marie Claire's Power Trip redefined the women's conference. See for yourself.

We Turned JetBlue's Terminal into a Party

Balloons make everything better—even early mornings.

Mimosas—because it's never too early for champagne.

No #PowerTrip would be complete without a power breakfast before the flight.

Croissants as Far as the Eye Can See

Hey, lady bosses have to eat.

Before Boarding, a Welcome from JetBlue

"Women make up 47% of the labor force, and yet less than 3% are aviation mechanics," explains Joanna Geraghty, the EVP of Customer Experience for JetBlue. But the crew for the #PowerTrip = all women. Hell yes.

Only our very own lady boss could look this good so early in the a.m.

More Snacks, Just in Case

Kind Snacks making sure we would never go hungry, not even for a minute.

Our Badass Pilots

Part of the all-female crew JetBlue employed for this flight, our pilots were sisters Pia Kymalainen, our flight's Captain, and Anna-Maria Kymalainen, our First Officer. Every member of the team, from the ground crew to the flight attendants, was a woman. 🙋

We had a very luxurious JetBlue A321 aircraft *all* to ourselves.

Multitasking Is Our Middle Name

Dell gifted us with brand new Latitude 12 7000 series 2-in-1s, since a true power tripper needs to be able to work on the go.

Kathryn Wirsing

If You Couldn't Already Tell, This Was *Not* Your Typical Flight

Oh, and did we mention that the Dell Latitude came in their own cool carrier?

Dell and Intel Made Everyone Very Happy

Misha Nonoo and Alexandra Wilson pose with their new Sandy Lisa bags for their new Dell Latitude powerbooks.

Meet Me in Mint

There was no time to waste on such a short trip, so we hosted meet-ups in the mint section of our JetBlue plane, where women could network and chat.

A Meeting of the Minds

Pretty sure Jennifer Blumin, the founder of the Skylight Group, and Melissa Tomkiel, the President of Fixed Wing Operations for Blade, are plotting the next big thing in aviation.

Happy Hour Somewhere Between St. Louis and Denver

A good drink = good conversation.

Air Force One, Essentially

Marie Claire's editor in chief Anne Fulenwider and publisher Nancy Cardone were among the 98 other women traveling on our private plane.

Pampered at 35,000 feet

As everyone knows, traveling can be exhausting. Shiseido came to the rescue with Ibuki Quick Fix Mist, which instantly made us look—and feel—refreshed. Why can't all travel be Power Trip travel?

Did We Mention There Was *Also* a Beauty Station

This was so not your typical doing-makeup-in-the-airplane-bathroom situation, thanks to Shiseido.

There Was Legroom for Days

No one got stuck in the middle seat! Everyone sat in either the window or the aisle.

Beyond Pretzels and Peanuts

Shiseido spoiled us, basically.

Work, work, work, work, work.

When there's in-flight wifi, it's time to channel Rihanna.

We've Arrived!

Thanks for the warm welcome, W San Francisco!
