Nights at the local fish camp, talking with friends – enjoying the view and the food.  Time with family, quality of life, limited urban sprawl, Florida has a lot to offer.

But for those of us travelers on the “Sunshine Triangle” – Jacksonville to Tallahassee, Tallahassee to Tampa, Tampa to Jacksonville – short hops of less than 300 miles — our nights of leisure are often superseded by the unnecessary overnight portion of our trips.

Those 45-minute flights turn into hours when you add travel back and forth to the airport, time in line, and unproductive time is waiting for airplanes to arrive and depart.

The private flight charter agent is going to remember your needs, even if your assistant forgets.

Your Time Has Value –  Most frequent business travelers are in their late 40’s and operating at the executive level.   When you consider the value of a high-level executive’s time – the cost-benefit analysis for a private jet may quickly become more economical than a commercial aircraft.
