Charter To Sundance
The Station Agent, Whiplash, The House I Live In, How to Die in Oregon, Winter’s Bone and Precious all have something in common. They have all been screened and won an award at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival.
The festival started in 1978 and was simply called the Utah/US film festival. It was born to give film makers in Utah somewhere to show their films and also to inspire American film makers to make and screen their movies. The festival is an annual affair that takes place in Park City Utah each January and today, it’s named Sundance after Robert Redford’s character in the classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
This festival is one of the biggest in the world and it a showcase for new work from independent film makers. What once was a small town festival today is something that is attended by the Hollywood elite, paparazzi and non-Hollywood people alike.
It garners headlines in the entertainment magazines as well as the local and national news as it’s a who’s who of the entertainment world. Some winners go on to win the major awards while others are never seen again, but having a film shown at such a prestigious festival is sometimes all the people associated with it want.
So, if you have thought about attending the Sundance Film Festival, but don’t like near Park City Utah, you can get there by chartering a jet. Chartering is miles above when compared to the commercial airlines. For starters there is the roomy interior of a charter jet cabin, one who’s seats can be configured in many different ways to suit your needs.
Second is the lack of long security lines, third you can fly on your schedule and fourth, well, it’s just cool to know you are arriving like the stars, and as a side note, you’ll always know your luggage is on board with you!
Chartering is cheaper than you may think and it’s something that makes even small trips more special. If you are sick of being cramped on an overcrowded flight, if you can’t handle one more march through security or if you just want a relaxed way to fly, you have it all in a charter jet.
Charter jets come in all shapes and sizes and there is one just waiting to whisk you and your part away to the Sundance Film Festival.
Charter To New Year’s Eve Festivities
We all know that the largest most festive New Year’s Eve party happens in the beautiful city of New York. Times Square, the ‘crossroads of America’ plays host each December 31st as a million people head down to watch the ball drop which marks a New Year.
While there is estimated to be around one million people actually in attendance each year, it is said that there are over a billion people who take in the action via television, all over the world. Being there live is on many a bucket list and if you’re not living in the New York area this means a trip. Why not kick that trip up a notch, forget about commercial travel and charter your very own jet to get you there in style?
Chartering a jet means that you skip the crazy security lines and you don’t have to adhere to anyone’s schedule. You will have plenty of leg, head and elbow room as you jet off to watch the Times Square ball drop.
People started to gather in New York as early as 1904 but it wasn’t until 1907 that the first ball was dropped. It was 5 ‘in diameter, made of wood and iron and decorated with one hundred 25 watt bulbs. It weighed just 700 lbs and marked the first of some seven incarnations of the famous ball.
Today, the New Year’s Eve ball is a year round attraction sitting atop One Times Square. It weighs 6 tons and is 12 ‘in diameter an instead of the 25 watt bulbs, it is now decorated with 2,688 Waterford crystal triangles and illuminated with over 32,000 Philips Luxeon LED’s.
If you are planning on attending the festivities, did you know it’s an all evening affair? They actually have a ceremony to light and raise the ball hours before it then drops to signal the start of a brand new year and there are various acts that perform before the midnight hour as well.
Another fun fact is that one ton of confetti is dropped onto the revelers after the ball drops. To watch on television is one thing, but to attend in person is quite another.
Thanks to chartering a jet, you can get to the renowned city of New York that much faster and stress free and enjoy not only the festivities but the travel to and from as well.
