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?

Fewer Airport Hubs in Smaller Cities

In the last few years, commercial airlines have been reducing airport hubs in small to midsize cities. More recently, Delta has just decreased 25% of its flights in Memphis, Tennessee. CNN reports that the Pittsburg airport use to be one of the most important hubs for US Airways, having nonstop flights to Europe and hundreds of daily flights nationwide. Today it’s to 165 flights a day to 37 airports in total. San Jose, California, Las Vegas, St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio, Nashville, Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina and Baltimore have all had airport hubs closed in the past 20 years. Flight service to Columbus, Mississippi, Lexington, Kentucky, Lafayette, Louisiana and Moline, Illinois is now reduced to one or two flights a day.
If you live in a small city and would like to fly nonstop without going out of your way to a further airport, contact Sky Limo Air Charter for a private jet flight from wherever you are to wherever you are going. Flying on a private aircraft has unlimited perks and luxury comes standard.

Busy Summer Traveling Season

According to CNN, the summer 2011 season is going to be very busy. Sure, it’s expected with kids out of school and families taking their vacations. According to The Air Transport Association of America, U.S. airlines are expected to carry over 206 million passengers between the months of June through August. That figure is a 1.5% increase compared to last year during that same time, which means 34,000 more flyers per day compared to 2010.
More passengers traveling by air translates to even more crowded airports. More lines to wait in, more screaming children and less privacy. That’s why flying on a private jet this summer might be a better idea than to deal with commercial airlines. You won’t be stuck with the regular routes and schedules that are offered through domestic flights neither the hassles of the airport and everything else traveling involves the days. A company like Sky Limo Air Charter can really make your traveling comfortable and luxurious. On a private aircraft you can expect luxury at every corner, with plenty of space, privacy and a jet concierge staff ready to help you with all of your reservations including hotel rooms and car rentals.
