Charter to the Tropics for Fantasy Fest

We have all been there. Busy airports. People everywhere scurrying to find the right gate for their departure. Luggage all around, lines for security that seem to go on forever. Just get through this and you are on the plane, there is no leg room, you are too hot, too cold, it’s too crowded, where is that carry on again?

Soon that commercial aircraft is off and you finally get to your destination, after waiting for ages to disembark, you feel the warm sun on your face, oh, wait, you have yet another airport to get through, again with the crowds until you get out into the sun.

Or you can charter a jet of your own to get you to interesting places, places like Fantasy Fest in Key West. If you charter you get to make the schedule.

You get to choose the plane, choose the configuration of the seating, leave when you want and return when you want, and best of all, there are no lines, there is plenty of leg, head and shoulder room, you know where your bags are at any given time, you are with people you know, you can relax and get to that destination happy and unrushed.

Key West is a great charter destination year round, but what makes it even more special is Fantasy Fest, a ten day event that occurs annually in the fall. It all started when residents realized that the fall was a slow time in the Keys, the summer crowds had gone back to their lives and the towns were all but abandoned. Businesses had to close for lack of patrons and they needed something to keep the fun going.

Fantasy Fest is a carnival like event that is especially tailored for adults. It is a wild party like atmosphere that includes parades, costumes and of course plenty of libations and it prides itself on being different, unique and of course imaginative.

So much so that the festival has a different theme each year. In the inaugural year of 1979 the theme was Old Key West, in 1985 Broadway Fantasies took center stage, Junglemania was the theme in 1991 and 2007 explored Gnomes, Toads and White Rabbit Tea Parties. It seems anything goes at this festival, even superheroes get a look in especially in 2013 when the theme was Super Heroes, Villains and Beyond.

So much fun and at an unexpected time of the year, so what better than to pair Fantasy Fest Key West with a cool charter jet?

Charter to the Taste of Chicago

The Taste of Chicago started in 1980 when a group of food lovers petitioned the city to hold a food festival. It was to be on one day only, the Fourth of July, and it took up just three city blocks. They had a shoestring budget and a goal of getting a hundred thousand or so people to attend, but to everyone’s amazement, 250,000 people attended that year and the one day was such a success that its been a part of the city’s culture ever since.

In 1981 they moved the party to Grant Park, a sprawling green space that is now home to the annual event, held each July. Grant Park is central and easy to get to from all directions. The Taste of Chicago is a free event but now, instead of it only being a day day affair it takes up five full days and is full of entertainment, bands, kitchen demos, sit down dinners with famous chefs, singers, a street art gallery and of course the food. Lots and lots of food.

One million people took in the festival in 2016 making it the largest tourist attraction in the whole state. It’s a great time, if you happen to live in Chicago or in the near vicinity, but what if you live far enough from Chicago that you need to fly?

Never fear, for you can charter a jet to get you and your party there in style. Why would you fly commercial when you can beat the lines, beat the security screenings and have ample leg, elbow, head and shoulder room on a plane with just you and your buddies?

Charter jets are cheaper than you may think and give you the option of different cabin configurations. There is on board entertainment at your fingertips and a galley on most to prepare whatever your heart desires. Best of all you can go and come back on your schedule, not that of the major airlines so you have the freedom to do whatever you want. Want to stay for all five days of the festival? You can do that! Get all the fun in while you can in this great city but do it in style.

The Taste of Chicago is not only about food, it’s also about the city itself, its culture, its traditions and its great stories so what are you waiting for! Book that charter today!

Charter to NYC’s Biggest Event

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade has been a staple each year since 1924. Although it started as a way to get people excited about the store and the first parade was actually at Christmas rather than Thanksgiving, whatever they did worked as today over 3.5 million attend annually and another 50 million watch from the comfort of their living rooms.

Over the years some things about the parade have changed; the route, the participants and of course the balloons. Back in 1927 Felix the Cat became the first balloon ever to be part of the fun. The following year they decided to fill it with helium but didn’t have a way to deflate it, so they just let it go.

It popped. In subsequent years they let balloons go as well, still having no way to deflate them. They addressed them all and if you found one you could take it back to Macy’s for a prize, not that many people did however.

The parade has always been very well attended. The first one ever had 250,000 people lining the six mile route that took the store employees from Herald Square to Harlem. It has been something Americans look forward to each year, and of course over the years it has grown.

There were only a few years where there was no Macy’s Thanksgiving parade and that was while World War II was being fought and the rubber used to make the balloons was instead donated to the war effort. By 1945 however, there were two million people who lined the route, thankful the war was over and things could get back to normal.

Today some eight thousand people walk the route and it takes another four thousand people to volunteer to get the route, the floats and the balloons organized.

If you have never been to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day festivities why not go but do it in style by chartering a jet? You won’t have to battle the crowds at a commercial airport or suffer through the long lines at security checkpoints. You will have plenty of leg, head and shoulder room and best of all you can choose when and what time to fly. Your schedule, not theirs!

If you choose to charter you can land at an airport closer to the action, and get where you are going a heck of a lot quicker than you can flying commercial, and you may even get to watch the balloons being inflated, which happens the night before the big day.

Charter to Las Vegas

Las Vegas goes by a lot of names. It’s full and proper name is The City of Las Vegas but it is also known as Las Vegas, just Vegas and also Sin City to name just a few. The fact is, Vegas is so well known it doesn’t need to go by a specific name; everyone knows that it is a major resort city nestled in the Mojave Desert and it is the Entertainment Capital of the World.

Las Vegas is the twenty-ninth most populous city in the United States and is home to some of the most well known Casinos on the planet, not to mention the most Triple A Five Diamond Hotels in the world. It is known for its hospitality, for its shows and of course for its gambling opportunities and plenty of restaurants, bars and attractions.

It’s not as if Vegas is hard to get to, on the contrary many major airlines have multiple flights a day from all across North America to Las Vegas airport, transporting thousands and thousands of people there each year. But if you step it up and charter a jet not only do you get there on your schedule you also can do away with the headaches of flying commercial.

Imagine arriving in Vegas after a luxurious trip complete with plenty of leg room, comfy seating, in flight entertainment and knowing your bags are with you every step of the way. You didn’t go through long screening lines at the airport, you didn’t have to arrive hours and hours before your flight and you got to relax, rewind and rejuvenate en route.

After a hassle free flight you are free to enjoy all that Sin City has to offer. The Casinos, the famous shows, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, the Neon Museum, the 68 parks, the 4 golf courses, the skate parks and swimming pools, and of course The Strip. After all of that it’s just a short jaunt to the Grand Canyon should you need even more incentive for the trip.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas; the memories, the adventures, the misadventures the whole kit and caboodle. Why not up the adventure and charter a jet for your next trip? Chartering is less expensive than you may think, you have your choice of seating arrangements perfect for however many are in your party and best of all, you arrive in style. What are you waiting for?
