30 Jul The Current Face of Travel – Flying Commercial vs. Private
We all want to travel and shake off the COVID blues, right? Traditional methods of travel just don’t seem to be what they were pre-pandemic. Clearly, flying private either on a charter or on scheduled service, has its perks…but the divide is growing wider by the day. Commercial travel has become so arduous it feels like a chore rather than a treat. Flights are being delayed, pilots are frustrated with unruly and non-compliant passengers and customer service in the airports has dwindled drastically.
Based on these experiences, we thought we’d highlight the differences side-by-side:
| Commercial | Private |
| Long Lines | No Lines |
| Massive Crowds & Herd Mentality | Personalized Customer Service & Private Boarding |
| Delays Likely | On-Time Departure |
| Full Planes | Planes for Up to 9 Passengers |
| Lengthy Wait Times | Expedited Travel Times |
| Hassle at Security and Boarding | No Hassle Security and Boarding |
| Arrive Frustrated and Tired | Arrive Fresh |
On a recent trip from Nassau to Miami, it took one of our frequent flyers 7 hours door-to-door for a 30-minute flight! With the launch of By the Seat Service between Fort Lauderdale and Nassau launching on August 12th, this guest won’t have to suffer much longer. With arrival times 45 minutes prior to departure, 1 hour 10 minutes flying time and a swift arrival through customs and immigration, you’re set up for a much more enjoyable travel experience.
And making your choice even easier is the price parity. With $350 base-fare flights, the decision is simple! We look forward to having you onboard one of our scheduled service flights soon. Be sure to check in often as Tropic Ocean Airways continues to roll out new scheduled routes.
