If your career recently took off, it may seem as though you spend more time in the air than with your feet on the ground. While you may love to see the world, you probably dread the damage that air travel does to your daily routine. As you get ready for your next venture, use these tips to tailor your travel plans to increase your productivity.

MANAGE TIME ZONES LIKE A PRO

Adjusting to time zones is a major drag on your productivity, and even being an hour off increases the symptoms of jet lag. Switch all of your electronic devices to the new time zone as soon as you get on the plane. This gives your mind time to adjust so that you don’t feel like you missed an hour at all.

KEEP YOUR ELECTRONICS CHARGED

It sounds simple, but having your laptop or phone ready to go is critical for utilizing every moment. Charge your electronics the night before your trip, and bring backup power supplies that you can use in a pinch. This prevents you from having a call drop right as you are about to close that critical deal mid-air.

EAT WELL & OFTEN

It’s tempting to skip meals when you are traveling, especially when you can’t stand unhealthy road food. However, this leads to fatigue and moodiness that impacts your career. Make arrangements for catering services on your private flight that allows you to graze on healthy fruits and vegetables that hydrate and energize.

FLY ON PRIVATE JETS

Commercial airlines may be how most people travel. However, being at the airport early and deal with lines is a major waste of time. Private jet charters allow you to arrive just a few minutes before your flight and immediately board the plane. Since you can pick your plane, you can even fly direct to harder-to-reach islands.

DELEGATE THE TRAVEL PLANNING

Your personal assistant knows exactly what to buy your mom for her birthday, and you should expect your travel planner to have the same ability to seamlessly plan your itinerary. Find a flight director with access to multiple modes of transportation so that a simple call is all it takes to make your travel plans.

LIMIT MULTITASKING

You might take a business call while getting your nails done, but trying to do things like check-in for a flight while you read a script leads to mistakes. Organize your travel plans so that you can focus solely on the job ahead of you from the moment you arrive at the airport and not worry about stuff like how to check your baggage.

PRIORITIZE THE BIG STUFF

Once you’ve settled in, skip menial tasks such as organizing your calendar. Instead, use the private time to problem solve that management issue or tackle that major project.

TAKE CONTROL OVER YOUR ENVIRONMENT

When people depend upon you to be at your best, you don’t have time to let crowds or noise stress you out. Utilize your time in flight effectively by choosing your travel partners. Then, you can do things such as dim the lights for a power nap or pace around to stimulate your creativity without anyone else saying a word.

HOST A MID-FLIGHT MEETING

When you and your colleagues are flying to the destination, use the travel time wisely. On a private jet, you can have your concierge set up for a corporate presentation, or you can have an intimate discussion away from the public eye. Either way, you will have already knocked out a major task by the time you land.

At Vincent Jets, we know that every moment counts. Make your next trip the most productive ever by getting in contact with one of our flight directors today.

Maximum Comfort and Flexibility

Dealing with the stress that comes with flying can be so problematic that many people are now willing to give up speed and comfort simply because they don’t want to put up with the difficulties. This choice can leave you struggling to get to where you need to be or can subject you to unnecessary layovers and crowded environments full of stressed people.

While flying private may not be a solution that you’ve taken seriously in the past, it’s now an option that’s available to more people than ever before. Flexible private charter companies can respond to your travel needs without requiring you to make an exorbitant plane purchase, and you can move around the globe under your own terms.

AVOIDING SECURITY DEBACLES

The process of navigating security screenings in American airports has become so invasive and problematic that many people are deterred from ever stepping foot in an airport. Regulations that ought to be universal are enforced unevenly from place to place, and you’re constantly at risk of having your privacy rights usurped by security personnel who may not be sufficiently trained to truly prevent a disaster.

Flying on a private charter can alleviate that burden by allowing you to have direct access to the plane without going through security screening theatre. While the pilot of your jet maintains the right to screen pieces of luggage or personnel as necessary, your chartered jet flight will be far less restrictive and invasive than any commercial flight could ever hope to be in a modern context.

MAXIMUM TIME VALUE

An old expression claims that “time is money,” but you may never have felt the weight of that claim more heavily than in times when you were forced to cope with unnecessary airport delays. Backed-up traffic, late-arriving flight crews, and unnecessary stopovers can all play a role in making your travel day much longer than it needs to be. These factors can lead to a great deal of wasted time spent sitting in far-flung airports wishing that you had chosen an alternate route to your destination.

A private charter will provide you the opportunity to proceed directly to your destination without any of those unnecessary delays. While private jets are subject to the same weather concerns as commercial flights, the amount of time you save in avoiding unnecessary workarounds will minimize the impact of those delays. You can proceed directly to your transport and then straight to your destination without being subjected to interminable stopovers in unnecessary places.

GUARANTEED COMFORT

As airlines continue to seek to squeeze every possible dollar out of the traveling public, amenities have become increasingly scarce. Seats have narrowed, legroom has disappeared and increased numbers of people are jammed in next to complete strangers in cramped quarters.

Chartering a private jet can allow you to return to the days when flying was truly relaxing. Being able to stretch out and embrace the available space can allow your stress to melt away and can help guarantee that your flying experience is a positive one that you may even want to repeat.

Vincent Jets has the skills and experience necessary to fulfill all of your chartered flight needs. Turning to a reliable charter service can help you put your days of commercial travel in the past and can allow you to return to the level of transportation excellence that you deserve.

As President & Founder of Vincent Jets, I am excited about the incredible opportunity our Flight Team has been a force of change in the travel industry and would like to take a few moments of your time to introduce myself to you.

At Vincent Jets, our team understands how precious our customer’s time is, which is why getting you to your destination successfully is our number one priority.  For this reason, we only utilize multiple aircraft which are Rule 135 and Part 91 certified, which simply means they will be in top operating condition and ready for flight when you are!

Second, it is all about accessibility to your individual Flight Director. As many of our clients know, some relationships in this industry begin and end with the purchase of a block of hours, followed by a random connection at the end of a 1-800 number. With Vincent Jets, you will have a dedicated member of our Flight Team to handle all of your requests at any hour.  This is also a company that demands immediate service.  As a client of Vincent Jets, you will have access to over 14,000 aircraft & helicopters, and there is no trip we cannot handle.

I want us to be your first choice for every trip you take, and we will put in the work and undisputed customer service needed to earn that decision.

My goal is for you to be as proud to be part of the Vincent Jets family as I am to lead it!
