We know you may have questions about whether or not charter is right for you. Before you explore the FAQs in this section of the site, stop and consider the following charter 'Top 10' list of reasons charter eliminates stress and makes you travel more efficiently.

  1. Streamlined check-in. In most cases you will park 100 yards away from our plane and be in the air within 15 minutes of arriving at the airport.
  2. No fighting the crowds because there is no crowd.
  3. Fly direct. No need to run the plane-change gauntlet in Los Angeles or San Francisco. Fly directly to your destination. There are more than 20,000 airports in the US that are not served by the airlines. Most are available to charter flights.
  4. Fly on your schedule, not ours. You tell us when you want to leave. Running late? No problem, we'll be there waiting when you arrive.
  5. Every seat is first class. High-back leather seats with tons of legroom. CD, DVD and video at every seat. A fully stocked refreshment center. Think of it as a Barcalounger that travels at four to eight miles/minute.
  6. Get home for dinner. Let's say you finish your business in Walnut Creek at 4:30 pm. Meet our plane at Concord's Buchanan Field at 4:45 pm and be back in Santa Barbara by 6:30 pm. If you flew commercial, you wouldn't be home until after the kids were in bed.
  7. Get more business done. With charter it is entirely possible to have meetings in San Jose in the morning, San Diego in the afternoon, dinner in Las Vegas and return to Santa Barbara that evening. Don't try that with commercial airlines!
  8. Get an extra day or two of vacation. Vacation travel usually involves out of the way destinations. Traveling commercially often means wasting the entire day getting there and another day getting back. With the efficiencies of charter you can get there by noon and leave to come home in the late afternoon.
  9. Make travel with kids stress-free. Because there are no hassles, your kids will be less cranky. Then, on the plane, they can listen to CDs, watch a DVD or watch a video. Our multi-channel entertainment system means each seat can choose from any of these options independently. And when you arrive your rental car will be waiting by the plane. No struggling with luggage through a crowded airport terminal.
  10. Roll out the red carpet on special occasions. For anniversaries, incentive travel, client entertaining or just plain fun chartering a plane can set the tone. Imagine taking three of your best clients on a golf outing to Pebble Beach. Meet them at the airport at 9:30 am, tee off at 11:30, drinks and dinner afterwards, and home by 10:00 pm.
