Take the Headache out of [Holiday] Travel
“Top Ten List for Making Holiday Travel Less Stressful”. “Should you fly or drive to Holiday get togethers?”. “Best days to travel - drive and fly - for the Holidays”. “Staying healthy in crowded airports this Holiday season”
I could go on and on listing headlines about the headache of holiday travel. When it comes to what that headache truly is, let’s break it down. We all know it's a number of factors: Crowds, long lines everywhere, lack of access to your gate, disorganized boarding lines, lack of information about the gates and flights - especially if there are changes and just the buzz of everyone else’s stress of needing to get to their destination.
So what's the solution? Ideally, Private Jet Services! But we all know, there are only a select few that can afford to charter a flight just for their family. During Covid the idea of flying private was very appealing and many shared services popped up that still thrive today.
But what if I told you there is another solution?
Now for some, the idea of an airport service like Clear or the TSA PreCheck helps a great deal. No question. But that is just to get through security and let’s face it, most folks today that travel have one or both of those and the lines are getting longer. For others, flying First or Business Class is just enough and that does have its perks. However, there is a lack of personalization in each of these situations. Personalization? Why is that important?
It’s important because it's the differentiating factor.
While travel is about the packing, the seats, etc, the most important element is time. Time to get to the airport, time to get through security - all to get to the gate on time to board the plane. Then there’s the time to get to the city, arranging your bags and then transport to finally get to your final destination. [insert sigh!]. If the timing of one of those components is off due to delays or lack of information or poor planning, then the entire journey will be a major headache setting the tone for this getaway.
Now let’s picture this. A personalized service that not only monitors all the details (and timing!) of your trip, but that personally escorts you past the lines, arranges care for your bags, keeps you in a private, no hassle environment with your favorite snacks and makes sure you board discreetly and efficiently with no hassles. Once you arrive in your city, there is a personal greeter waiting to take you off the plane, manage your bags and get you as quickly as possible to your personal ground transport that is arranged for the size of your party. No questions about ‘where are you headed” or fumbling for your wallet to pay, your phone to track directions or trying to off load all your luggage - all details are handled. And, this includes any connections in between.
