Planning For The Holidays

Planning for a vacation during busy holidays can turn out to be a monumental task. From booking places to stay, to filling out your day with activities, vacation planning can surely become a daunting process. Planning early can have its benefits, even if you decide to start your planning at the start of the year. Here’s some holidays you should start planning for now!

Easter

Easter is one one of the most popular holidays in America. Falling on Sunday, this holiday allows the majority of Americans to celebrate all weekend, sometimes even starting on the Thursday before.

Easter signifies the end of harsh winter weather and the start of warm spring weather across the country. For this reason, many people choose warmer destinations. Big Sur in California is a common destination, as is Savannah in Georgia. While both towns offer much to do, if you wait till the last second then finding a hotel or making dinner reservations can be impossible.

Flying privately saves you the stress of the airport over a holiday weekend. If you are looking to travel over Easter, be sure to request trips well in advance. We’d recommend contacting your charter broker by February, as FBO’s and jets fill up fast. Booking a departing flight on the Thursday before Easter, and then a return leg the following Monday is highly recommended as you avoid the popular Friday trips.

President’s Day Weekend

Presidents Day Weekend is one of the first major holidays of the year. Falling on Monday February 21st , the weekend will undoubtedly be a much needed getaway. With most offices and schools closed, it's a popular family vacation time.

Planning can be tedious and time consuming for Presidents Day due to it being so early in the calendar year. Booking restaurants and hotels should be top priority. If you plan on flying privately, ensure hangar space from the winter weather as soon as possible.

For this holiday, winter activities are very popular as this is some of the last ski/snowboarding weather of the year. Places like Aspen and Jackson hole will be a hot destination.

As these holidays get closer, it's imperative to book your travel sooner rather than later. Here at Liberty Jet, we can help you achieve your dream vacation. Contact us today to book your private jet getaway!
