Profile: PrivateFly's Adam Twidell
-Why the private jet boss takes a thermometer and a uniform on his business trips
|
Private jet boss Adam Twidell is also a freelance pilot and has a clever scheme for skipping
airport queues and getting upgrades - he simply wears his uniform
"I travel economy on short haul flights because our business is at a point where I can't justify the expense of business class. However, I'm still a freelance pilot and if I'm travelling somewhere to pick up an aircraft that I'm flying, I might have my uniform on and then I'll often get upgraded and be able to skip queues. The uniform has its disadvantages though - you get a hell of a lot of people asking you directions to gate 16."
