lobal private Met charter company BitLu offers a super simple long-haul flight booking procedure. A family flying, say, from Honolulu Internatio­nal Airport to Changi Airport, can simply go online and ask for an instant Tuote. Payment by cryptocurr­ency is available. Although last-minute bookings can be arranged, those that are made at least three days in advance have better chances of getting the best available aircraft for the specific route. In the case of the 15-hour HonoluluSi­ngapore flight, it’s a long-range aircraft such as the roomy, 19-passenger lobal 6000.

The flight is not shared with other passengers even if the party comprises fewer people than the aircraft’s capacity.

Inflight amenities are fully customisab­le, from the menu to the in-cabin space for pets, internet connection and flight attendant service. Passengers can show up at the private terminal ten minutes before flight for the check-in procedure, eliminatin­g the three-hour pre-flight holdover in a crowded airport terminal.

Increasing­ly, private aviation is gaining popularity among leisure travellers, thanks to competitiv­e prices. Private charters are ahead of commercial flights in comfort and fle ibility. Private Mets can land in more places than commercial airlines, including terminals with shorter airstrips or close pro imity to mountain range, as well as on remote islands, thus reducing ground transporta­tion reTuiremen­ts. Moreover, private charters can accommodat­e lastminute itinerary changes, making them ideal for family trips.

Lastly, families flying together can avail of package offers from leading hotels. Hyatt Hotels has the ‘Work From Hyatt’ program with packages starting at 139 per night with a minimum stay of five nights at more than 400 locations in the world. Meanwhile, Marriott’s ‘Day, Stay and Play Passes’ is a multi-day stay packages designed for families, and with dedicated spaces for working. ‘WorkSpaces by Hilton’ packages, on the other hand, offers a day rate for travellers seeking a comfortabl­e space for their tasks, removed from home-office distractio­ns.
