07 Sep October Half Term Destinations
We’ve put together some of the best private jet destinations for the October half-term. So why not give Falcona a call so we can help you charter the best aircraft and fly you to your favourite holiday destination with your family in style.
Travelling with children is extremely challenging, especially by commercial airlines. Having to arrive at the airport at unsuitable hours of the morning or night, two hours prior to your departure adds stress to your journey.
Instead you can arrive just twenty minutes for your private jet flight, where you can get dropped off right outside the terminal. Your bags are unloaded and then put on your aircraft straight away.
There are no long checking in your bag queues or security lines to contend with on your private jet flight. Less hassle, no cancellations or major delays disrupting your journey.
On your arrival at your destination we can organise a chauffeur transfer to your resort for a seamless journey. No need to be waiting around the terminal looking for your bags or a taxi.
Fly to your destination, the way you deserve. Experience a better way to travel this October half-term with your children.
