I have been watching as people travel this holiday season. We are seeing the issues with the new TSA security measures causing numerous delays of people at airports all over the country. The TSA “pat down” is making news everywhere and it will get worse with the holidays and everyone traveling to get to their holiday destinations. Travel is up and it looks like it will continue to do so through the new year holiday.
Add into the security issues and the volume of travelers and the idea that weather at certain parts of the country will make it even more difficult and it makes private jet travel much more appealing. Think about that most important face-to-face business meeting not occurring as the TSA is making sure that you are safe to travel, or that family of 6 kids all needing special treatment to get through security and Grandma and Grandpa slowing up things as they get to their Christmas holiday party with the grand-kids. They are part of public transportation and could jeopardize your making that meeting. Holiday travel is brutal.
Think about not having to deal with the 2 hour long security line, that missed meeting or being stuck in an airport hoping to get that standby ticket out of an obscure airport because your plane is stuck 500 miles away in a northern city that is buried in snow. That is one of the best reasons I can think of using private aircraft to travel during the holidays. I hope all of you have a safe and fruitful holiday season.
