Bring back the luxury in air travel by using a private airline. We do have to forewarn that your wallet will be paying the price on this one but it’s worth the exceptional service, serenity, and cute Instagram pics!

We’ve seen a revival of road trips with the pandemic convincing people to opt for the open road. Deciding to take the longer route and avoid the airport allows for more room to breathe and take in the beautiful sights. Not to mention, it is a safe way to keep your social distance while traveling. Even though the road may be long, it’s about the journey.
