Four Airports Try New Screenings

Sky Limo Air Charter, your private aviation company, has learnt that as of yesterday, four airports are trying out a new pilot program called the “PreCheck” program. It covers Delta Air Lines’ frequent-flier travelers and three other government-trusted programs including Global Entry, Nexus and Sentri. This will affect people flying regularly out of Hartsfiled-Jackson Atlanta International airport and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County airport. American Airlines is also involved as well as a select group flying out of Miami International airport and Dallas-Fort Worth international airport. The TSA says this new program will impact between 5,000 and 8,000 passengers every day. These travelers will have to give the government more personal information so they can move faster through security checks at the airports.

If you don’t want to go through the dreaded security lines or waiting at the terminal for a long time, try chartering a private jet with Sky Limo. You’ll have access to a private jet all to yourself not to mention the very best in luxurious perks: exclusive private jet concierge services.

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. Flying on a private jet is like no other experience in the friendly skies. Think luxury, privacy and plenty of legroom. Sky Limo Air Charter also provides exclusive jet concierge services to help you with reserving hotel rooms and a car rental for a more convenient experience.

Worst Airports This Summer

If you’re not going to be chartering a private jet for some of your trips this summer and dealing with a better service at the airports and executive airports, Sky Limo suggests you read below to get familiar with some of the most congested airport during this busy season. According to Forbes.com, here’s the latest on some of the most popular airports in America. The main runway at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York has been shut down for major renovations for a few months now and will be closed until July. Miami International Airport is gradually opening a mile-long terminal, but the passenger train serving it won’t be operational until fall. There’s a huge highway project reportedly “snarling traffic” at Dallas-Fort Worth International airport. In Chicago, the main road into Midway International Airport is being reconstructed and repaved. Newark Airport is also repaving. Thunderstorms during the summer season also plays a part, shutting down critical airspace and adding to the delays. New York City and Chicago are major hubs typically affected by the rippling effect.
