Airlines expect 42 million Americans to fly during the Christmas holiday. If you’re one of the millions heading to an airport this weekend, you might start considering a private jet.
What you’ll be missing
If you fly on a private jet, you may feel like you would miss out on some holiday traditions. Just remember, a tradition isn’t necessarily a good thing!
- Intense car traffic around the airports
- Common flight delays due to unpredictable winter weather
- Close quarters on the airplanes as many flights will be full this time of year
Inside the airports, you’ll likely experience several other challenges to your holiday spirit. Like the nickel-and-diming. You paid for your ticket, now you have to pay a checked bag fee, television viewing, snacks — just one thing after another.
And don’t forget the security lines. Standing in line, removing your shoes, emptying your pockets, measuring your carry-on liquids, opening your laptop – does it ever end? All of the meticulously packed bags are rummaged through. Of course, the security check is crucial, so you try to maintain your jolly disposition, but there’s nothing like a full body scan to chase away your last shred of merriment.
So close your eyes and imagine a better way:
- A quick ride to a congestion-free, municipal airport
- No security lines or missed flights
- Roomy seats and no lost luggage
- A cocktail in hand as your jet takes off
- Laughing knowingly as you read stories on flightsfromhell.com
Now that’s the way to travel for the holidays. There’s plenty of room for presents — and they can be wrapped in advance! Many people feel enough stress around the holidays, with many activities, irregular schedules, extra family time, shopping for that hard-to-shop-for person. Take flying concerns out of the picture. Ask Santa for a private jet!
