SANTA ROSA VALLEY — With the holidays less than 90 days out, now is the prime time to consider booking arrangements in order to maximize savings on costs as well as time.

Typically, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the busiest travel day of the year in the U.S. If you plan to travel on that day, you will definitely need to get ahead of the holiday rush. Booking ahead allows you more flexibility to adjust travel dates if necessary and can help lessen the stress of having to book everything last minute.

Additionally, as the holidays near, flight prices will increase as availability dwindles and demand escalates. By securing bookings in advance, travelers increase their likelihood to secure the best pricing for their trips.

But how can one plan ahead when commercial aviation has become increasingly chaotic? With ticket fares at record highs, delays due to overcrowding in long terminals and TSA staffing shortages, and fuel price volatility, planning feels overly complicated.

That is why private air charters, like the ones offered by TruNorth Jets, have grown in popularity.

As of September 1st, we have entered prime time for booking and scheduling private charter flights for the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays. By securing a private charter ahead of time, travelers have the finest possible aircraft and routes tailored to their needs at a better price point. Whether you prefer a heavy jet, large cabin for your family’s annual holiday trip to the Caribbean, or special accommodations, be it pet traveling, catering choices, special transfers, or holiday requests, all can be catered to by booking arrangements early.

Although on-demand chartering is more flexible, it may give rise to either the lack of opportunities or skyrocketing rates in case of last-minute booking, which is why booking in advance is key.

Private aircraft reduce the amount of time traveling to one’s destination due to having access to more than 5000 US airports, versus commercial carriers serving fewer than 500 hubs. The use of secondary airports can significantly reduce any congestion and delays and landing ten minutes from a small town rather than flying into a hub and driving additional hours lessens time in between destinations. Additionally, savings show up in other aspects of travel, such as arriving rested to your destination and more time spent with loved ones during the holidays.

Consider your time bought back and reallocated, allowing you more time to spend with your loved ones. Private aircraft charter enables you to limit unnecessary jet lag and arrive refreshed for your destinations. Booking now means more time and freedom to customize your unique experience, kickstarting your vacation experience the moment you board the aircraft.
