Flying on Your Own Time
There’s a lot I dislike about flying. Most of it has to do with the airport itself and the crowds. There’s just nothing like having to get there an hour or more in advance just so that you can check in on time and wait in line. Some airlines have now improved that somewhat, with online check-in, but for the most part flying is really a hassle.
Especially with kids. Although mine fly really, really well. I don’t even have to give them Sudafed or anything like that to help them keep their ears clear. I use lollypops instead, and generally get amazed compliments from people who thought they’d be sitting next to a small, crying child the entire flight.
Squirming is, after all, something most can cope with, especially if the child isn’t too bad about it or particularly noisy.
But I doubt there are many people out there who would mind using a service such as Elite Jets Private Jet charter flights if it weren’t too expensive. Takes away a lot of the trouble with flying. A membership is quite out of the range of the average person, but they also allow you to charter individual flights.
Obviously, this will still cost more than flying on a commercial jet. But they do offer ways to save, such as flying on an otherwise “dead” leg as an airplane returns from a trip away from its base.
Discounts or no, this won’t be for everyone for every trip. I can see making a honeymoon or other special trip a little extra special with a charter flight, though.
