several patrons and adventure seeking passengers that otherwise may never have afforded such a luxury. The trend of mass package holiday flights continued nearly each year thereafter, with flights to Palma in 1952, Lourdes in 1953, and the Costa Brava and Sardinia in 1954.

The Benefits of Chartering a Private Jet

In the 21st century, there is no greater means of reaching your destination than by the calm, secure method of air travel. Unfortunately, as the number of people seeking commercial flights increases, so too do the number of problems or inconveniences one can expect when entering an airport. Chartering a private jet, however, allows for all of the conveniences of flight without the expected troubles. The most notable example is the ability to fly out of a smaller general aviation hub and avoid dealing with a commercial airport all together. Likewise, those who charter private

flights are free to come and go as they please, making it possible to create a vacation that best fits one’s schedule. Also, chartered flights are the most secure and private way to travel. Since the only passengers within the jet will be those that are personally invited, conferences or meetings can be held midflight just as if they were in an office building. Consider the difference chartering a private jet could make for your next trip before choosing commercial, and experience the improvement first hand.
