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.

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.

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. 🙋

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.

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.

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?

In addition to ideas about leveraging a brand, Banks taught us our new favorite word: flawsome, which means being awesome but having flaws.
