Come Fly With Me is an album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1958[citation needed].

Sinatra's first collaboration with arranger/conductor Billy May, Come Fly With Me was designed as a musical trip around the world[citation needed]. Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen wrote the title track at Sinatra's request[citation needed].

In his autobiography All You Need is Ears, famed producer George Martin writes of having visited the Capitol Tower during the recording sessions for the album. According to Martin's book, Sinatra expressed intense dislike for the album cover upon being first shown a mock-up, suggesting it looked like an advertisement for TWA.
