Philadelphia, Pa, June 23, 2009 – Many of America’s greatest golf resorts are more than an hour’s drive from an airport with commercial airline service, and reaching them can be an all-day travel ordeal for anyone flying through one or more hubs. When time is an issue – particularly for shorter trips, when every minute of golf counts – a chartered business jet can land just a few miles from the first tee.
According to Private Jets VIP (www.privatejetsvip.com), the premier online service for booking private business jets, utilizing smaller, less congested airports can save leisure travelers precious hours – resulting in more time for golf. Privately chartered business aircraft – which, depending on size, are configured to seat anywhere from 6 to 15 passengers – fly in and out of some 5,400 U.S. airports, compared with only 580 airports serving commercial airlines.
“Chartering a business jet reduces travel time, especially to more remote locations, and it’s a more comfortable and pleasant way to fly,” said Martin M. Hazan, Private Jets VIP Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “A private jet goes when you want to go, and enables you to avoid crowded airports, inconvenient airline schedules and flight delays or cancellations,” Martin added.
Martin also puts to rest golfers’ fears about whether their clubs will make it to their destinations. “One of the great things about chartering a private aircraft is that your clubs go right on the jet when you do,” Martin said. “For golf trips, we do ask clients to let us know how many passengers and sets of clubs will be on the trip, in order to properly gauge weight and space requirements,” Martin advised.
Martin says chartering private business jets for leisure trips is on the upswing, in part, because booking private jets is easier than ever. “It’s now as simple to book a charter jet as it is to make a reservation on a scheduled commercial airline,” said Martin. Read the rest of this entry »
