Blessed are the jet-setters.

A charter company is inviting travelers to fly in divine style on a direct route from Pope Leo XIV’s native Chicago to Italy’s iconic capital in celebration of his becoming the first American pontiff.

Velocity Jets unveiled a quirky new ad obtained by The Post that entices curious tourists to “Fly Like a Cardinal” and “Land Like a Legend” with a special trip to Rome — and featured an AI image of a cardinal and two young, attractive nuns in their traditional habits dancing aboard a private jet with a DJ spinning tracks in the background.

“The white smoke has risen, and the Vatican has spoken: Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost of Chicago, has officially taken the helm,” the religious pun-based ad stated.

“Whether you’re spiritually inspired, historically intrigued, or just ready for Roman pasta and Prosecco, we’ve got your direct line to Vatican City.”

The Florida-based business said customers can expect to fly on their Gulfstream 550 — a 50.2-foot jet that seats eight passengers and cruises at speeds up to 509 mph — for the lavish excursion from the Windy City to the Eternal City.

The direct flight would include “Heavenly catering & Miraculous Car Service,” the company teased.

“Do you want guaranteed access to heaven-sent jets like this one — anytime, anywhere??” the playful faith-driven campaign pushed.

“This week, the Cardinals chose their leader. You just need to choose your aircraft.”

While Velocity Jets did not disclose the sanctified sum of the flights — flyers need to inquire for that — prices “ranged on average between $24,894 and $41,654 per flight,” according to a 2022 blog post on its website.
