Airline Healthy Fare

Many commercial experimented (and still do) with various healthy foods they can offer their in-flight passengers. But they have found that passengers still rather choose the salty and carbohydrates-filled goodies versus the healthier fare. Some of the reasoning behind these less-than-optimal choices is because people that are flying aren’t necessarily eating because they are hungry, they are eating because they are bored and are looking to pass the time. Alaska Airlines offers several coach class options including vegan and gluten-free foods as well as chicken and vegetable meals. However, they found passengers rather order the quarter-pound cheeseburger. United Airlines tried offering active and organic snack boxes with high protein, low-fat and organic items in the past, but ended up donating most of the food to food banks before eliminating them from their menu. Their most popular now is a tapas snack box that has nine different foods from almonds to olives. Delta Airlines has many choices including a low-fat Greek yogurt with fruit and nut bar, toffee-caramel popcorn and Pringles.

If you’re looking to have specific foods, including a gourmet and healthy fare, charter a private jet with Sky Limo Air Charter. We’ll offer you the very best of meals in flight along with the utmost privacy and flexibility of managing your own itinerary and schedule. Sky Limo’s private aviation company also offers jet concierge services that can make sure you have gourmet groceries at your hotel in your final destination.

TSA Employee Arrested

According to CNN, a former Transportation Security Administration employee was charged with two counts of grand theft for allegedly stealing electronics from luggage. A Continental Airlines employee caught someone stealing an iPad from a suitcase in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. This according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office. This former TSA employee confessed to having stolen about $50,000 worth of computers, GPS devices and other electronics from bags he screened. He took pictures of these items so he can sell them online. He often sold the electronics before his shift ended. He has worked with the TSA since January 2009 but no longer works there. Detectives are trying to locate the victims of his crime, but it is said to be unlikely that they will get their personal belongings back.

Travelers From Overseas

Your private aviation company brings you more news on traveling. According to CNN online, global travel is thriving...but not in the U.S. To travel internationally these days is much cheaper and faster. India, China and Brazil have seen many international travelers in the last several years. Sky Limo Air Charter has learnt that more than 60 million travelers have flown internationally in the past 10 years, but almost none in the U.S. According to CNN, America has seen zero growth in overseas visitation resulting in a 37% decline sine 2000. The U.S. has so much to offer visitors, from such variety of people and geography, including beaches, mountains, attractions, nightlife, shopping and the list goes on. Until not too log ago, the U.S. was the only developed country without a national travel promotion strategy. Most destinations actively advertise themselves to attract people to spend time and money in their countries. Last year, a bipartisan Congress passed the Travel Promotion Act to create the Corporation for Travel Promotion which is a public-private partnership that will create and execute America's first nationally coordinated marketing program. It's designed to attract more international visitors. It will provide them with useful information and promote that America wants and welcomes world travelers.

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.

Flight Attendants Get Annoyed Regularly

Anonymous flight attendants posted some of the ways passengers on commercial airlines irritate them. With the help of budgettravel,com, Sky Limo, your private aviation company, shares with you their biggest pet peeves. First on the list is violating federal regulations when it comes to pets on board. Passengers violate rules when the dog is left loose in the aisle, tucked in a seatback pocket or on their lap. Second biggest pet peeve is when passengers shove their bags in the firs bin they see even though it’s nowhere near close to where they are sitting. Next biggest irritating thing passengers can do is to not act like a parent. Flight attendants said passengers asked them spare diapers, formula, medicine and toys. Flight attendants are also annoyed when passengers drag oversized and over-packed bags on board with them. Passengers expect them to put it in the overhead bin, which they are not supposed to. People complain about the fact that they haven’t been placed in a roomy exit-row seat, so flight attendants receive the gripe about it. Whining about the high price of flying is another thing people complain about when they’re onboard an airplane. All in all, flight attendants work hard.
