Why Commercial Jets Outperform Commercialization
Business travel has come a long way. It once meant getting on a stagecoach and taking a long and arduous journey across the country. Trains soon took over and today they are faster than ever. Thanks to the Wright brothers, when air travel “took off” and we never looked back.
At any given time, there are thousands of people on thousands of planes going to destinations around the world. Airports are plentiful, checkpoints and security are in place, and baggage claims are a buzz every day as people drive to and from the locations for work and pleasure alike. Flying to your destination on a commercial airline is great; you get to your destination quickly and can work on the road. What’s even better for the business traveler? Rent your own business jet.
Some companies already have their own planes and the executive can come and go as they please. For others, chartering is the way to go and once they have been chartered, they may never go commercial again.
One of the benefits of chartering a business jet is the fact that you can create your own schedule. You don’t have to arrive at the airport to catch an international flight hours before take-off, you simply have more time to prepare for your flight and your journey. Security doesn’t take that long when there aren’t thousands of people to process and you can never worry about lost luggage. Take it yourself on board and save accordingly.
But perhaps the best advantage of going private is the fact that you can choose a jet specifically for your needs. The latest gadgets, infotainment systems are on board and many allow you to design the cabin the way you want. If you want to work on the road, you can change the seats to a more work-friendly look. Do you just want to relax? You can also do this in oversized comfortable chairs that offer more head, shoulder and leg room than you would on a commercial flight.
Big, small, jetpack or not, business jets are a great way to get to your next big meeting out of town. You arrive rested, without having wasted a lot of time at an airport and having your schedule adjusted your way. What more could you ask of your transport?
