Thanks Sky Limo
Thank you Sky Limo for being so great with your aviation customer service. As an entrepreneur myself I know how important it is to know who your customer is and how to respond to their needs. I’ve flown on your private jets more than a few times, especially between New York and Chicago. I meet with clients on a regular basis in Chicago to over contracts and of course for the much-needed and all important face time. I find that it’s crucial for business relationships and also have acquired new clients that way because of referrals. I find the way you work to be very professional and efficient and enjoy working with the staff that you have in you’re your private aviation company. Numerous times, you jet concierge services have helped me make reservations for hotel rooms and have given me advice on where to stay, especially in newer places. I really thank you for all the great service you provide through your private aviation company and thank you again for making my flights comfortable. This testimonial was by Jon F., New York

Enjoy Traveling Again

When’s the last time you really enjoyed traveling. Not just the destination, the traveling part as well. Getting on a plane and flying towards your vacation destination should be fun and prep you towards your fabulous trip. During that time you’re supposed to anticipate all the activities to come and feel relaxed. But when you’re stuck between two passengers in the middle seat like a sardine in a can, fun doesn’t really describe the experience. It’s more like a ‘get me out of here’ moment. Not to mention, the hassles of flying commercial and having to deal with the usual at the airport. The long lines everywhere whether it’s in the security screening or waiting to use the restroom. The running around to your next connecting flight that’s typically really far from your starting point. The waiting around at the baggage carousel, hoping your airline hasn’t lost your luggage and more. When you charter a private jet, you don’t have to deal with any of it. Flying becomes part of your vacation and can even be part of the highlights. Have you ever flown on a private aircraft. Think lots of space, privacy, flexibility of making your own schedule and a view like no other. Sky Limo Air Charter invites you to book your private jet flight today!

Flying With Kids

Flying these days is not on the top lists of fun things to do, especially when you’re flying with kids. The already usual hassles of flying commercial like crowded airports and making it on time to catch your connecting flight, become even more of a hassle. One way to make it easier on yourself is to try to assign responsibilities to some of your children. Say for example, you’re flying with a three-year old and a ten-year old, the older sibling can definitely help. Weighing your bags before you get to the airport will also ensure that you don’t have to start transferring items from one suitcase to another, while keeping an eye on your children. Try to make sure that your kids have eaten a meal before heading to the airport, that way you don’t have to start navigating through the long lines at the crowded airport food courts. Make sure your children are wearing clothes and shoes that will go through security with the least hassles. No fancy shoes, no belts or jewelry.
Of course, another way to bypass all of these hassles are to fly with Sky Limo Air Charter on a private jet. You’ll feel comfortable while flying with your kids and get all the help you wish and deserve. No crowded airports, no waiting around, and a great view.

Unusual Requests for Travel Agents

Since Sky Limo Air Charter likes to report on all things travel and aviation, the subject of travel agents fits the mold. And weird requests from travelers to travel agents make it even more interesting to report. According to an article on AOL.com, clients ask travel agents all sorts of unusual things like getting on a plane that will fly upside down. Or getting to rent only orange cars from a car rental company. Or booking cruises that are only on their maiden voyage for specific people afraid of germs. Another weird request was that a traveler wanted to go underneath a polar ice cap in a submarine.
Sky Limo is proud to say that we don’t get too many weird requests. Just the usual client who likes to live the good life and wants to fly on a private jet. Plus, our private aircraft passengers don’t deal with travel agents, they can directly talk to our private air charter representatives and get everything they want from a certain private plane to concierge services in the air.

Passport Fees Increasing

According to CNN.com, soon it’s going to cost you more to apply for a new US passport or even to renew an old passport. Starting, July 13th, adults applying for their first passport will have to pay $135, a 35% increase from the past fee of $100. The cost of the wallet-size passport card, which Americans use on trips closer to home, will go from $45 to $55 for first-time applicants. For more visa pages in your passport, you’ll have to pay $82. Renewing your passport will cost $110 instead of the past $75 fee. There’s even a new fee for renouncing your US citizenship, costing $450. Officials say they’re increasing the cost because fees aren’t covering the government’s cost for the services. The increase in fees also helps pay for all the increased security and anti-fraud measures that were added to passports in the recent years.
Sky Limo Air Charter, a private aviation company, reminds you to make sure your travel documents are all up to date so that you can enjoy stress-free traveling. And to make it even more hassle-free and fun to travel, trying booking a private jet instead of flying on commercial airlines and hiring to deal with crowded airports and other nonsense.

Avoid Luggage fees

The UPS store has launched a new product called luggage boxes to target customers who don’t want to be paying luggage fees to commercial airlines. Passengers can ship their personal belongings ahead of time and before embarking on their flight. The luggage boxes actually look like cardboard suitcases complete with a handle. They’re priced high from $12.95 for a small on to $17.95 for a larger one, which kind of defeats the purpose, especially when you’ll also have to pay for shipping it. The smaller luggage box can actually hold 55 pounds which if fully loaded can cost a lot of money to ship. Most commercial airlines charge about $25 each way to check your first piece of luggage at the airport and it arrives at the same time you do, unlike the new UPS luggage box.

A better way of not dealing with extra charges and fees from commercial airlines is to fly on a private jet with Sky Limo Air Charter. Not only will you not be charged for any of your suitcases, you’ll also enjoy lots of privacy, comfort and exclusive, world-class jet concierge service. You’ll arrive at your destination on time and rested. There’s really no other way to fly.
