No Fighting On Sky Limo Guaranteed

Recently, the Washington Post reported that a flight attendant and a passenger aboard a United Airlines flight jumped between two men that were fighting on the plane. The fistfight broke out after one of the passengers reclined his seat and got his head slapped by the guy sitting behind him. Instead of continuing the flight, the captain decided to circle the plane around in the air for about 25 minutes to burn enough fuel to land within the weight limits of the aircraft. The United Airlines 5,000 miles flight ended up being canceled until the next day with 144 passengers that were very unhappy. This is just another example of how commercial flights are squeezing travelers and becoming more of an annoyance in the world of travel.

Bypass all of the hassles that flying commercial can entail. Forget the long lines at the airport, forget cranky passengers, forget bad customer service at the ticket counter and fly on a private jet. Flying with a private aviation company like Sky Limo Air Charter guarantees you all the luxury and comforts in the friendly skies including plenty of legroom, jet concierge services and all of the reclining you can handle.

Art in Airports

In this blog posting, Sky Limo Air Charter, your private aviation company of choice, is shining the spotlight on several airports in the U.S. that proudly display art on its walls, concourses and terminals. Not too far from our private jet headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Miami International Airport’s south terminal concourse J has been outfitted with about $9.4 million worth of art. The highlights include pieces by Brad Goldberg, Norie Sato and Barbara Neijna. The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport’s terminal 4 has a ceramics collection right in front of the US Airways counters. Atlanta’s concourse E at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has quilts hanging. The Pittsburg International Airport has an original Alexander Calder mobile and major pieces from the famous pop artist Andy Warhol.

When you don’t have the luxury to fly on a private jet and find yourself in one of those airports’ terminals, take the time to at least enjoy the art before you board a commercial flight

Pat-Downs at the Airport

Airports aren’t fun. They’re full of passengers running around trying to make it to their next connecting flight, crying babies, rules and regulations at every corner and dreaded lines filled with cranky travelers. What’s even less fun than all of that is the security pat-down. The TSA says that the most important thing you can due to reduce the need for a pat-down is to empty out your pockets before you actually go through the screening. Also, don’t wear clothes with high metal content and heavy jewelry.

To escape the pat-down altogether, opt to fly with a private air charter. Not only will you not be subjected to that type of uncomfortable experience, you’ll also actually enjoy your very limited time at the airport. Private jet companies like Sky Limo Air Charter also offer jet concierge services for an even more luxurious traveling experience in the skies and on land. Think gourmet food onboard, someone to make all your reservations for you and a staff that’s only concerned with making your wishes come true. Flying with a private aviation company really is the best way to fly!

What To Do If You’re Bumped From a Flight

According to CNN online, last year airlines bumped 681,105 passengers from flights in the U.S. If you volunteer to give up your seat on a flight that’s overbooked, you can expect to be rebooked on the next flight and even get a free flight pass to use on another trip. But if you were bumped against your will, you’re at the mercy of the commercial airline’s schedule. This can take a while, especially because these days most commercial flights are flying at full capacity. You need to know your rights about being bumped involuntarily. If you’re placed on another flight within one hour, you will get no compensation. But if it takes up to two hours to get on another domestic flight (or four hours on an international flight), the airline must pay you double the value of your one-way fare, up to the maximum of $650. If you’re stranded in an airport for more than two hours, expect to be reimbursed four times the value of your one-way ticket, up to $1,300.

With private jet charters like Sky Limo’s, there is no overbooking and no passengers are bumped. You’ll have no problem getting where you’re headed, on schedule. In fact, on your schedule. You decide your flight time, you decide your flight route. Plus, with jet concierge services helping you with your reservations, it’s really the best way to fly.

Airline Hassles and How To Avoid Them

Layovers are a risk and huge hassle when you fly with a commercial airline instead of a private jet. Layovers can be due to multiple reasons and without much warning. According to a travel article on CNN.com, if you find out early enough you can call the airline and get on the next nonstop flight at no additional cost. If there are no nonstop flights, the travel article suggests you ask for a refund. You should also know that layovers could happen more frequently at the end of the month because of flight crews reaching their cap on the number of hours they’re allowed to work. So by adding a layover, a commercial airline can get a new crew to work and fly. To try to avoid that, fly earlier in the month.
To avoid layovers all together, charter a private aircraft for your very own private flight. You’ll set up your trip according to your schedule and decide when you want to fly. You won’t have to deal with cancellations either and will experience the very best way to travel. Sky Limo Air Charter also provides concierge services that can help you with reservations and other traveling needs. Why fly commercial when you can fly the private aviation way?
