Holiday Packing 101

People worldwide are still wary of the idea of leisure travel and are flying private now more than ever. For those eager to be with family and friends this holiday season, flying by private jet is the safest way to do so. Flying private not only makes for a wonderful memory but, at the same time, keeps you and your loved ones away from groups of strangers in busy airports and terminals.  Understanding the importance of packing and planning is essential before booking your family flight. 

Luggage

No matter the duration of your trip, packing is an essential part. The amount of luggage you are able to bring depends on the size of the aircraft you are chartering and the type of luggage you are traveling with.

1. Will you be traveling with skis or golf clubs?

2. Are you traveling with children? 

3. Will you have car seats or strollers with you? 

4. Do you need access to any of your luggage during the flight?

These are all important questions to ask and factors to consider when planning a family vacation in general, but especially when flying private. Flying with strollers, car seats, skis, or golf bags is a pain on commercial flights. Instead of checking these items at the gate, you can bring them on the aircraft with you. To make it even easier, these items will be loaded and unloaded for you, making your overall experience smooth and hassle-free.

Each aircraft has a different luggage allowance. We always recommend you pack with soft sided luggage as it is easier to store and stack. There is always the option to ship larger and bulkier items like skis to your destination ahead of time. Trilogy Aviation Group’s experienced sales executives will find you an aircraft with luggage capacity that will fit all your gear. 

Babies and Children

If your baby is less than two years old, there is no need for a seat purchased for them. It is recommended to bring the baby’s car seat on the aircraft, however. The stroller or any other baby equipment you may need can be stowed away with other luggage during the flight. There are some instances where you will not have access to your luggage mid-flight, make sure you account for this before take-off. Overall, the experience with children goes a lot smoother. There will be more space, more freedom, and far more comfort.

Traveling with the whole family on a commercial airline can be exhausting, especially around the holidays. Private jet charter is a safer, more comfortable, and all-around hassle-free experience for every family member, adults, grandparents, and even children. Avoid airline restrictions and let your group set the tone of your private jet experience. We are experienced in arranging flights for families and are committed to the highest level of private jet safety.
