Travel Tips For Thanksgiving

If you’re planning to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday, you are not alone. In fact you are joining about 23 million people in the friendly skies. If you’re not booking a private air charter with a company like Sky Limo, you’ll need to know how to handle the chaos at airports all across the U.S. during that time. Try not to travel on that Wednesday before Thanksgiving which is November 23rd and avoid that Sunday after the holiday as well. These days will be extremely busy with air travel, with long lines at the airports and full flights, so choose your seat wisely. If you’re looking for the cheapest airfare, try flying on November 24th which is Thanksgiving Day and return on that following Saturday. Try to avoid connections in Atlanta’s International airport because this busiest U.S. airport will be even more chaotic during this holiday season. Chicago’s O’hare will also be busy with Los Angeles International Airport taking third place.

If you’re having second thoughts about facing the dreaded journey at the airport, consider flying on a private aircraft. You won’t wait in any line, have all the privacy in the world as well as legroom and a comfortable flight. Sky Limo also offers exclusive jet concierge services should you need to reserve hotel rooms or a car rental during your trip. Call Sky Limo to find out how you can book your very own private air charter.
Happy Thanksgiving!

The New Boeing Dreamliner

Just recently, according to MSN, the much-anticipated Boeing 787 Dreamliner took its first flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong. The commercial flight was mostly made up of aviation reporters and enthusiasts that paid thousands of dollars to board that first flight. The newest Boeing is 20% more fuel efficient than other commercial planes, has 30% larger windows (that come with glare-reducing systems), better lighting and more overhead space (every passenger can have one carry-on). Its air pressure and humidity levels are closer to what’s found on the ground, allegedly easing up jet lag. The humidity is said to be at 16% with a cabin pressurized at a lower level, supposedly leaving travelers with less headaches and more energy.

According to MSN, this new Boeing 787 is supposed to provide nonstop routes for cities that typically don’t have them, because it can hold a smaller number of travelers (200 or so) compared to other Boeings that have the capacity to fly 800 people. Larger planes aren’t always profitable, but the Dreamliner will make it possible with routes like San Francisco to Manchester or England to Boston.

The Boeing 787 might be fuel efficient and provide extra perks, but there’s still nothing like flying on a private jet with a private aviation company. It’s comfort at its best, with tons of flexibility, luxury and concierge services to help you with your trip.

Busy Airports

With Thanksgiving around the corner, travel plans are on everyone’s mind. Busy airports like Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International airport are even busier. Atlanta’s airport actually has about 90 million travelers every year and joins JFK, LAX and Chicago’s O’Hare in the busiest airport lineup. Can you imagine all the waiting around, the long coffee lines, the dreaded security checks, full boarding areas and the unpleasant journey of traveling commercial. Why not charter a private jet this holiday season. Travel aboard a private aircraft and take advantage of all the luxuries that come with flying solo. But if you have to fly on a commercial airline, research the airport you’re departing from before the day of your flight. Find out where you can have lunch, entertain restless kids or even enjoy some art or a spa appointment. Knowing the airport and being prepared can really ease up the stress levels, helping you arrive rested at your final destination so you can enjoy your holidays with your family.
Chartering a private jet is less expensive than you think, try call Sky Limo to find out more about chartering a private aircraft for you and your family so you can enjoy the privacy and flexibility of traveling in luxury.

Legroom Anyone?

Traveling these days can be so uncomfortable, with dreaded journeys at the airport, long waiting time at the security lines, hiked up prices for everything from snacks to magazines and so many more unpleasant experiences. The commercial flight isn’t that fun either. An airplane shared with hundreds of people, uncomfortable seats, and don’t even try to ask for a blanket, in the best of cases it’s going to cost you.

Legroom is also delicate subject, as there is none for most passengers on most flight. Travelers, especially tall ones, have their knees glued against the seat in front of them for the entire flight, giving them back pain and stiff joints. MSN reports that the average coach seat on a commercial airline has 31 inches of legroom. (Spirit Airlines has only 28 inches, JetBlue has 34 inches). Some commercial airlines even ask for an extra fee to possibly add three extra inches, but even if you’re willing to pay, that doesn’t mean you’ll be able too, because there’s only a very small number of seats with those extra three inches.

If legroom on a flight is an issue for you, opt to fly on a private air charter with Sky Limo Air Charter. You’ll have all the legroom you want because the entire private jet will be yours. You’ll have plush, leather seats, privacy and silence, not to mention the very best in concierge services to help you map out your vacation or business trip.

Free Flight to Japan?

Too good to be true? Sky Limo Air Charter has found out some of the details behind this offer for a free trip to Japan. According to UK’s Telegraph, Japan will be giving away 10,000 foreigners free airfare tickets to visit their country next year. The goal is to boost tourism since it has taken a dive because of all the latest natural disasters. The number of foreign travelers has dived to over 50% less after the March 11th earthquake and tsunami and the explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

The Japan Tourism Agency is planning to ask the future visitors to submit online applications for their free flight to Japan. The tourism agency will ask the foreigners to detail the area of Japan they would like to visit and ask them to also commit to writing a report of their trip that will later be published online. The idea behind this tactic is that the Japan Tourism Agency will get positive reviews to help make international visitors comfortable about taking a trip to Japan. This is expected to start in April 2012 so check out the Japan Tourism Agency’s website for more updates on the program.

New Airport Screening Procedures for Children

There’s been a lot of talk lately regarding the screening procedures for traveling children. Many parents are outraged and unhappy with the way their kids are treated at airports. So the TSA is now rolling out new procedures to reduce the number of pat downs at airport checkpoints. The new rules say that children under 12 years old will be allowed to keep their shoes on. According to CNN, if a metal detector or full-body mage detects a suspicious object, kids are allowed to pass through multiple times in order to identify the problem. The TSA will also have the choice of swabbing children’s hands for explosive residue versus patting them down. Pat downs will be used if the problem or concern persists. There are also pilot programs aiming at reducing the number of pat downs for children that are underway at various airports including Boston Logan International, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Miami International, Orlando International, Houston International and Denver International.

If you rather not deal with the procedures and the dreaded airport experience altogether, book a private air charter for you and your children through Sky Limo.
