Dallas Morning News Business travelers don't always have to fly on the major air carriers.
Private aircraft chartering services can be a cost-effective path to the skies.
If you're traveling with a small group, hiring a chartered plane can be cheaper than booking unrestricted tickets on a commercial flight. Chartering grants you the ability to land at small airports that may be closer to your destination. Another plus is that you can arrange to have a rental car waiting for you. When you begin comparing charter prices to scheduled service, you will find that it should not only be considered as an option for business, but as a travel alternative for vacationers. Leisure travelers can reap some benefits for personally booked flights.
