Alexis Sanchez has looked to make the most of his remaining summer holiday by boarding a private jet with his family and heading off for a break.
The wantaway Chilean's future is very much up in the air, with Sanchez being constantly linked with a move away from the Emirates.
Taking to the skies with his close family members - and his dogs Atom and Humber - Sanchez looked to be in good spirits, despite Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger recently insisting he must remain with the club and fire them back among Europe's elite.

Sanchez was upbeat as his plane cruised through the skies in style, but his future is unresolved
Sanchez has made clear his desires to win silverware and add a Champions League winners medal to his collection, with a host of teams including Manchester City, Chelsea and PSG linked with his services.
Taking to social media platform Instagram, Sanchez uploaded a snap of himself and his family members relaxing mid-flight, along with the caption: 'Familia'.
The photo was seen by Sanchez's 6.6million online followers, with thousands of comments soon pouring in begging the mercurial forward to remain with the Gunners.
Earlier in the week Wenger made his clearest indication yet that he will not sell his main man as he ordered Sanchez to fire Arsenal back into the Champions League.

The Chilean has made no secret of his current unrest at the club, and looked set to move on
But Arsene Wenger is digging in his heels and demanded Sanchez stay and help the team fight
'We have played for 20 years in the Champions League,' said the Arsenal boss. 'That's 17 years before Sanchez arrived and three years with him. So he can get us back in there.
'The decision has been made and we will stick to that. The decision is not to sell.'
Sanchez has rejected Arsenal's offer of a new contract worth £275,000-a-week, plus an extra 20 per cent if they qualify for the Champions League next season.
