-With scheduled and even 'low cost' carriers charging a fortune this Easter, PrivateFly highlights some cracking private jet options -
Easter hasn't even arrived, and already those of us planning to travel by plane are thinking about the expensive flights,
not to mention the long security queues, potential for industrial action and crowded departure lounges!
A private jet offers the ultimate in convenience and relaxation for a luxury family holiday.
With short ground transfers to and from a local airfield, and tailor-made flight schedules, holidaymakers
can maximise their time away. There are no hassles at the airport - just quick and seamless security checks
before stepping into the comfort and privacy of your own cabin.
Online private jet platform, www.privatefly.com, presents these suggestions for luxury Easter getaways:
A luxury weekend in Scotland offers an escape to one of the world's most unspoilt beauty spots. You'll be transported
from your local airfield in comfort and style to Inverness - where you'll be greeted by some of the world's most
breathtaking scenery and the opportunity to experience outdoor pursuits, award-winning cuisine and stunning wildlife.
Why not visit or even stay in one of the region's historic castles, some of which have been converted into exceptional
hotels? From around £3300* (approx £420-550 pp), seating six to eight in a turboprop KingAir aircraft for a two-night
stay.
Unwind in the picturesque Balearic island of Majorca. Your luxury long weekend break will begin with a seamless ground
transfer to your closest airfield, where your private jet will be waiting. Enjoy a glass of champagne en route
to Palma and a car will be waiting to take you straight to your chosen hotel. Majorca has a range of outstanding
hotels and resorts, often situated in stunning unspoilt countryside or beach locations. At the end of your
three-night break, you can look forward to the journey home in privacy and comfort.
From £9100* (approx. &ppund;1520-£2275 pp)-, seating four to six in a small jet.
A trip to Marrakesh is a feast for all the senses and with a private jet you'll spend less time at the airport and
more exploring this intoxicating city. After the VIP experience on-board, you'll arrive at Menara airport and will
be transferred straight to your chosen hotel. You can indulge in a traditional hamman or a range of modern spa
treatments, explore the many stunning historic and cultural highlights including the Medina, Royal Palaces or La
Koutoubia Mosque - or perhaps just sit and enjoy mint tea under fragrant orange trees in one of the city's walled
gardens. After seven days of relaxation and exploration, your private jet will be ready to transport you to your
closest home airfield at a time of your choice. From around £28,800* (approx. £3600-£4800 pp), seating six to eight
in a medium jet aircraft.
Adam Twidell, founder and director of PrivateFly, comments: "This Easter, even low-cost airlines are looking expensive.
"With airport security hassles and delays at an all-time high, a much-needed holiday or short break can be
ruined by the effort of getting there with commercial airlines. A private jet trip offers the ultimate in comfort
and convenience for the discerning traveller and doesn't have to cost the earth."
