Expert Tips for Smooth Holiday Travel

Navigating private travel during the holidays can be challenging, but with some expert advice, you’ll be ready to fly stress-free. Here’s what three of Jets.com’s private aviation experts recommend:

Choose Airports and Dates Wisely

“Avoiding high-traffic commercial airports and flying from general aviation facilities can save you time and stress during the holiday rush. Travel on lower-demand days, like avoiding the Sunday after Thanksgiving, to reduce the likelihood of delays and enjoy a smoother journey.” 

– Bill Lawrence, Vice President of Sales

Plan Ahead and Travel Smart

“Book early. Requesting a quote 4-5 weeks ahead of time gives us the chance to secure availability during the busy holiday season. Build in extra time for potential delays caused by high flight volumes and infrastructure challenges. Traveling earlier in the day can also help you avoid delays that tend to build up as the day goes on. If you’re flying frequently, consider a Jet Card to make your holiday travel even smoother.”

– Chris Paas, Private Aviation Executive

Flying with Winter Gear Made Easy

“Tell us everything! If you’re bringing skis or snowboards, make sure to check with your broker about luggage space, especially on smaller aircraft. Private Aviation offers a lot more flexibility, but confirming space in advance ensures your gear fits without any surprises. Planning ahead helps avoid last-minute issues, so everything goes smoothly for your winter trip.”  

– Vincent Kavanagh, Executive Vice President, Head of Sales
