Point That Laser Elsewhere, Please

Have you ever played with those tiny little lasers that are so much fun to point against a wall? Well according to CNN.com a spike in the incidence of people pointing lasers into the cockpits of planes has the Federal Aviation Administration worried and encouraging public vigilance. This might sound like a silly problem but nevertheless it's a problem and a serious one at that according to FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt. These tiny lasers are dangerous because they can distract a pilot or even temporarily blind the pilot when he/she is attempting to land or take off. There are 2,200 instances that have been reported due to these lasers according to CNN.com. Pointing a laser in an airplane cockpit is a federal crime. A Rhode Island man was arrested on two counts of shining the tiny laser into a Continental Airlines flight. He faces 20 years in jail and a $250,000 fine. If you want the best in air travel without laser pointing incidents then you should book a private aircraft. With Sky Limo Air Charter you'll get a restful flight full of perks like legroom, a spacious stylish cabin, gourmet food on board and more. With Sky Limo's jet concierge services you'll have a great flight and you'll enjoy every minute of it.

Sky Limo on National Business Aviation Association for Toys for Tots Campaign

NBAA reported this week that Sky Limo collected over $5,000 in Toys for Tots donations for needy children in South Florida and “flew” the toys on Saturday, December 10 and Sunday, December 11 in a Sabre 60 business jet. High-speed cruise for both flights was estimated at two to three knots.

“We ‘flew’ the airplane in two big holiday water parades here in South Florida,” said Damian Lopez, Sky Limo Director of Business Development. “Our Sabre 60 jet was mounted on a barge on the Intracoastal Waterway for participation in both the Seminole Hardrock Winterfest Boat Parade and the Pompano Boat Parade.” The company arrayed thousands of unwrapped toys beneath the airplane during the parades, much to the delight of more than one million children and adults watching live and on TV broadcasts.

Sky Limo, an air charter company based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, has contributed to numerous local charities in south Florida since its founding in 1998, and this year’s Toys for Tots effort will help cheer more than 100,000 underprivileged children in south Florida. The mission of Toys for Tots is to provide hope for less fortunate children and encourage them to become responsible, productive and patriotic citizens.

“We’re always looking to further immerse ourselves in the community,’” said Sky Limo owner Tom Conlan, “and this was a unique opportunity to do just that.”

Passenger Trouble

Flying through regular airlines is always full of surprises. According to findings from CNN.com, a man prompted a Continental Airlines flight to make an unscheduled stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Seems like flight number 1576 was on its way to Houston, Texas from San Jose, California when a passenger's disruptive behavior forced the flight crew to divert the plane to Albuquerque International Sunport. The man was detained at Albuquerque where he was faced with questioning. Seems like no one on the plane was hurt and there weren’t any ties to terrorism said FBI spokesman Frank Fisher. You hear of stories like this one every day but have you ever heard of a private aircraft being re-routed back or forced to land somewhere other than its final destination? This is why you should book your next flight with Sky Limo Air Charter. Get the best experience in air travel by booking a private jet flight. You won’t have to deal with any of the typical hassles of flying commercial or with disruptive behavior. Sky Limo has an extensive fleet of private aircrafts all different in size, in case you need to travel with friends or coworkers. Fly without disruption, fly Sky Limo Air Charter.

Locking your price

According to an article from CNN.com customers can now choose to hold a ticket for 72-hours up to seven days, with fees starting at $5 for a 72-hour lock-in period and $9 for the seven-day option. Continental Airlines introduced and called this the FareLock. This basically gives clients the option to hold their tickets but not the obligation to buy. Continental Airlines wants to give their clients more options when booking through them. "This new option is another way that Continental is giving our customers more choices and more control over their travel experience" said Chris Amenechi, managing director of merchandising. Seems like this can be an interesting option but the airline is charging for it. Is this really a way to give clients more options or simply a clever way to make more money of them? Baggage fees already brought in $2.5 billion for U.S. airlines this year alone! And in case you were wondering, the FareLock fees are nonrefundable. You want more options, than book a private air charter such as Sky Limo Air Charter. By doing so you can make your own schedule and not deal with delays. You can bring all the baggage you want and don’t expect to be charged for it.

Reclining Your Seat

We all like to be as comfortable as possible when flying, but what happens when the person sitting in front of you decides to reline his seat? You, of course, feel much less comfortable and even a little cramped. Reclining your seat, a privilege or a right? According to Lizzie Post in an article from CNN.com she says “It's not a right; it's not a privilege; it's a function of the seat that you purchase”. She also added that she wishes that airlines would simply remove the reclining option because it's so annoying for the people sitting behind the recliners. So, what is the reclining etiquette? Should you recline your seat for the entire flight, or be courteous and recline it just for a little while? Unfortunately, whether you like it or not, the seats recline exactly for that purpose, so if you're uncomfortable than maybe a private aircraft would be something to consider. Book your private jet with Sky Limo Air Charter, no long lines at the airport, no multiple security screenings and lots and lots of leg room and space. By flying with a private air charter you won't have to deal with seats backed up in your lap. No reclining worries, no hassles, no problems, that's if you fly with Sky Limo.

Sky Limo Rides the Intracoastal in the Winterfest Boat Parade 2010

Full-service aviation company, Sky Limo Air Charter, collects more than 500 toys for Toys for Tots Campaign




After months of preparation, Sky Limo made its mark during this year’s Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade. The float, which was the brainchild of Sky Limo’s Tom Conlan, featured a 48-foot long, 8-passenger, twin-engine Sabre 60 jet aircraft that was mounted onto a barge. The Frank Sinatra inspired “Fly Me to the Moon” theme was complete with a lunar moon backdrop, dancing flight attendants, black-tie businessmen and a Frank Sinatra impersonator with a deejay playing his music.

“Taking part in this year’s Winterfest Boat Parade was an easy decision,” Conlan said. “We wanted to do something that [to our knowledge] has never been done before, while at the same time encouraging a family atmosphere amongst our employees. This was a project everyone here could have some fun with, as well as be able to celebrate the holiday season while doing something special for the community.”

Being involved in charity, and the community in general, is important to Sky Limo, which is why the company decided to launch a cooperative effort with the United States Marine Corps “Toys for Tots” campaign. With their Winterfest entry this year, Sky Limo mounted the aircraft a few feet up in the air, leaving an open area directly beneath the aircraft. Sky Limo, its employees and members of the community donated thousands of dollars worth of unwrapped toys, including bicycles, for “Toys for Tots.”



The mission of the Sky Limo Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys, and distribute those toys as gifts to needy children in the community. The primary goal is to deliver a message of hope to less fortunate children that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
“Sky Limo is a company that is always looking to further immerse itself in the community where its employees work and live,” said Conlan. “And we strongly feel that this was a unique opportunity to do exactly that.”
