Air travel can be a real drag and let’s face it none of us looks forward to a day of schlepping through airports only to be left waiting for the next leg of our flight. It is a long and taxing experience and very often I wonder as most people do why this mode of transport is so inefficient.
When you look at the commercial airlines they very simply are not very customer friendly. In fact they leave travelers with a lot to desire. For the most part this is due to the fact that the industry itself pays little attention to you the traveler. It instead is much more focused on their bottom line running only regular flights to those cities that bring them in the most money. And when you look at your flight plan it is easy to see how this is working. You may need to travel from St. Louis Missouri to JFK Airport in New York City but you may have to fly through Tampa to get there.
Now for most of us this doesn’t make very good sense but the airline is getting more money to touch down in Tampa before heading to JFK and so by running fewer flights and including more stops along the way it may be ineffective for you the traveler but they are making more money and still only having to fly just one plane.
These days when you are traveling, however, one stop seems like cake as many people are asked to make three or four plane changes to get to their destination and this can make a day really long and extremely tiresome. And the saddest part of the process is that when all is said and done you will probably find that your probably still have to drive for a few more hours, once you hit the ground, to arrive at your final destination.
Most major airports are located in major cities and if you are doing business there, arriving on holiday, or visiting relatives chances are the airport is just the nearest to your destination and not actually in the place that you are traveling to. While there are smaller airports that might have been more convenient to your actual destination you will probably find that most commercial airlines don’t fly to these locations.
A private charter flight can eliminate stops and help you to get to your destination in a quick and effective way. Being able to travel to your actual destination without having to route yourself through all the major cities can really help reduce your travel time and provide for a more effective travel day.
