Traveling with kids of any age is sure to bring about some form of drama from their need to frequently visit rest stops to being hungry in the middle of nowhere to requiring all kinds of entertainment. So what better way to circumvent this drama and make the start to any trip leisurely by getting off the ground and taking a private jet?
No matter how old your kids are, chartering a flight is the way to go. Families with very young children will appreciate the ability to tend to their needs, which is something seatbelt restrictions and overall space limitations commercial flights and driving trips don’t allow for. In addition, fussy children won’t cause parents to receive any unsympathetic looks from other passengers on private flights either.
As any parent knows, adhering to a schedule can be difficult when flying with kids, so the fact that a chartered flight caters to the passenger’s schedule and not the schedule of the airline provides another reason why this is a good way to go.
Additionally, passengers may bring the food and drinks of their choosing on board or have the flight catered. This enhances the comfort afforded by private travel and allows for the dietary needs of everyone in the family to be met.
While in flight, families are welcome to watch DVDs, play video games, listen to music, surf the Internet, and just about anything else. Small children can also bring their toys on board so they stay entertained while en route. Fortunately, long-range jets off most popular gaming systems, DVD players, and hook ups for MP3 players, making it perfect for any forgetful teen wishing he had remembered to bring along a hand-held gaming system.
If your trip means you want to disconnect from the Internet and electronics in general, consider bringing a board game on the flight. This provides a way for families to have fun together and connect while traveling to their destination.
Many planes also offer ample cargo space so passengers needn’t worry about deciding between bringing their child’s car seat or pack-n-play; both can come along. Passengers are also encouraged to bring their child’s car seat on board so small children are properly secured while on board.
For anyone taking an international flight, make sure all children have passports. If you are traveling with children other than your own, make sure they have a notarized letter stating that the children are permitted by their parent or guardian to travel abroad. This safeguards the pilots, crew, and passengers on the off chance that traveling with children proves to be a problem (like in a custody dispute).
If you’re not familiar with the world of private flying, call a broker or flight operator and see what suggestions they have regarding the size of aircraft that would best suit your needs. Small families with minimal luggage can get by with a small light jet whereas a larger family packing skis or golf clubs for everyone will need to get a larger jet. Brokers and operators can also answer any other question passengers may have.
