BEAT THE STRIKE CHAOS WITH A PRIVATE JET

With Easter on the horizon, those of us planning to travel by plane are thinking about the potential for
industrial action, the expensive flights, not to mention the long security queues and crowded departure lounges!

The online private jet booking network PrivateFly has seen a surge in website traffic visiting their
cost-calculator this week, with numerous requests coming from first-time customers, many of whom are surprised
by the prices, especially if they can share the cost by filling all the seats.

One new first private jet customer said that he just couldn't rely on assurance from BA that his Geneva - Gatwick
flight was going to be OK; 'I have an important meeting on Monday in London which I simply cannot miss.
Being stressed and stranded in Geneva airport late on Sunday evening will cost me more than the £3900 it cost
for a VLJ (very light jet)'. This customer is travelling by himself but intends to offset the cost of his
flight by finding 3 other stranded passengers to join him in sharing the jet.

A private jet offers the ultimate in convenience and relaxation for a luxury family holiday or business trip.
With short ground transfers to and from a local airfield, and tailor-made flight schedules, travellers can
maximise their time away. There's no hassle or risk of being stranded 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:

SCOTLAND IN STYLE

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 £420 pp (approx £3300* seating
eight in a turboprop KingAir aircraft for a two-night stay).

UNWIND IN MAJORCA

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 £1520 pp (approx £9100*, seating six in a small jet.)

Adam Twidell, founder and director of PrivateFly, comments: "Unite's industrial action is proving a positive for the private jet industry.

"For travellers who want to avoid the potential strike chaos, hiring a private jet could be a surprisingly
cost-effective option, especially when a group is travelling together. When you add 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 stress-free comfort for the discerning
traveller and doesn't have to cost the earth."
