Choosing a private aircraft charter can save a lot of time and stress. A friend of ours was telling of her family’s experience trying to catch a flight at a major international airport. Just before they arrived the airport was shut down due to a bomb threat. Thousands of people were held up and traffic was a mess.
There were seven people in their group including babies. Once the all-clear was given people swarmed to the gates. None of the elevators or escalators was working so they had to carry their luggage, baby seats, and paraphernalia through mobs of people trying to find their departure gate. Many flights were missed or delayed and everyone was frazzled, to say the least.
You no doubt have heard stories or even had your own experiences along these lines. With all the added security, air travel today is becoming more and more difficult and time-consuming not to mention humiliating.
None of that would have happened if they had chosen a private aircraft charter. When you utilize aircraft charter services, you won’t have to worry about hopping around from city to city.
With charter flights, there are no long waits or mad dashes between terminals. In the end, you won’t have to deal with the frustrations that arise from constantly plane hopping.
In the scenario above, all the passengers would have had plenty of time to board. All the babies would have been easily cared for without other distractions. There would have been ample room to move about and children wouldn’t have been a bother to strangers causing more stress on the parents.
Another thing about private aircraft charters is that they are less likely to experience delays than commercial airlines. While they can’t help being grounded by weather or some airport issues, small private planes are less likely to experience any sort of baggage or maintenance problems. As anyone who has flown a lot knows, situations like this can cause long delays or canceled flights with commercial airlines.
With increased competition, the cost of private charter flights is becoming more comparable to commercial flights especially when traveling with a group. In addition, one can usually take a private aircraft charter from regional airports. They are often closer and less crowded than hub airports, and you can usually save more on parking, rentals, etc.
With all these advantages, private aircraft charter is an attractive alternative to flying commercially.
