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.

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.

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.
