Gifts for Your Favorite Traveler

By Leave a Comment

Trying to find that perfect gift is never an easy task.  Figuring out what to give that special someone who is always “up in the air” can be downright frustrating.

Frequent fliers and commercial business travelers are always encountering new and unique challenges as they navigate busy airports and suffer though lines and delays.

As alternative air travel specialists, the Kavoo team recognizes the hurdles that your loved one is forced to jump as they take to the skies.  While a private Kavoo charter is always a great gift, we know that many folks need to travel outside of our service area.  For those busy travelers in your life, we have some unique gift suggestions to brighten their holiday and keep them flying high.

  •  Noise Canceling Headphones – Whether its blocking the whine of jet engines or the whining of the passenger in the next seat, every frequent flier can appreciate the gift of silence.  In a variety of styles and a range of prices, there is a perfect fit for everyone.
  • Bag Bungee – For the traveler who is constantly wrangling a carry-on bag and a personal item, this nifty cord is a perfect stocking stuffer. It easily straps a purse or a briefcase to a rolling suitcase.  No more bags left behind!
  • Shavetech Travel Shaver – Sized like a smart phone and charged off a USB cable, this travel shaver is the perfect gift for the man on the run.  No more struggles with batteries or bulky chargers.
  • Quik Pod Handheld Convertible Tripod – No one likes the awkward self portraits that clearly say, “I had to take this picture of myself.” For the solo traveler, this small gizmo extends to allow you to snap a picture at more than an arms length. Perfect for individuals or couples.

Of course, if your holiday wish is to spend more time with your traveling loved one, don’t hesitate to consult one of our Kavoo travel specialists. We are happy to work with our travel partners to help you plan the perfect gift vacation.

Holiday Travel Made Easy

November 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The fast-approaching Thanksgiving weekend is a chance to reunite with the most important people in our lives and Kavoo is always happy to help to make your holiday air travel safe and simple with our unique Sky Limo service.

The last few weeks have been a real struggle for many of us in the Tri-State area.  While recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy continue throughout our community, we cannot help but be reminded by the upcoming holiday that we truly have much to be thankful for. Many of us are more excited than ever to see our loved ones, and the thought of spending precious hours just getting there seems wasteful.

We all know that holiday travel can be downright exhausting – especially here in the Northeast. Whether its hours stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic or those spent staring at the barefoot traveler in front of you on the endless airport security line, its safe to say that your time is more valuable than that.  Kavoo offers you an easy way to avoid the stress typically associated with holiday travel.

Holiday Travel Woes

With a variety of private charter planes that can seat up to eight passengers, Kavoo will allow you to skip the long airport lines and commercial air carrier delays.  You can keep your belt and shoes on and not have to worry about checking your bags… or your apple pie.

We can help you take back your travel time and spend it where you truly want to be.  At the holidays, Kavoo can turn what was a five hour car ride into a an exciting hour of stress-free enjoyment.  As the next generation of air travel, Kavoo takes the holiday commute and makes it simple.  In many cases, we can have you giving thanks at the dinner table before commercial carriers can get you through the security line.

Prepare Your Overseas Loved Ones for Holiday Travel

December 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

SecurityIf you have a loved one overseas, you probably understand the hassles of getting them home during the holidays. Most international travelers tell us the worst part about flying in from overseas is flying domestic in the US. American securities, Visas, and all the other things wrapped up in air travel can be extra-stressful during the holidays.

Your “survival kit” for getting a loved one through customs during the holidays includes the following tips. Forward these bullet points  to an international traveler you care about, and get ready to celebrate the holidays with your loved ones from afar.

Get Ready to Be Searched

Many international travelers who haven’t been to the US in a while aren’t aware of the stringent searches – xray machines, patdowns, etc. For some travelers, the tight security in the US is a fairly new experience.

Don’t just let your international travelers brave the TSA waters alone. Make sure if your international friends and loved ones are flying in and must board domestic flights, they realize they may be re-searched and will need to go through lines again.

Let Them Know What They Can Bring

There are lists out there about what travelers can and can’t bring into the United States. If you’ve flown recently, you’ll know that small bottles of mouthwash and other toiletries are all that the US allows a traveler to bring in a carryon. Make sure that your international loved ones have this information and have packed accordingly before departure.

Attitude

It sounds silly – of course holiday travel is going to be stressful. A fun idea to get loved ones excited about a trip to the US would be to send a care package over the next few days. They will get your goodies before they depart and look forward to their flight.

Consider Kavoo

Another idea that would make an amazing Christmas gift would be an air taxi trip once your international loved one hits the United States. Imagine the hassle of a long plane ride from overseas, followed by a luxury sky limo trip with a completely customized experience. We can also make sure your international loved one gets right up to your door after leaving our Kavoo planes.

Whether you decide to fly your loved ones in from overseas using domestic, commercial flights – or you want to surprise them with a Kavoo plane trip – travel during the holidays can be stressful. However, these tips and gift ideas can ensure a smoother experience all around for everyone involved.

Time Saving Flying Tips for the Holidays

November 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Time Saving Flying TipsSearching for holiday tickets is painful. We don’t need to tell you that. The longer you wait to get a last-minute ticket for Thanksgiving or Christmas, the more money you’re going to spend. If you’re waiting 1-2 weeks before the holidays, the tickets go up to $1200 or more. That’s ridiculous.

Paying that much money to sit through stops, layovers, and deal with bad service is absolutely inexcusable. You’re probably already thinking this, and we agree with you whole-heartedly.

That’s where smart shopping comes in.

There are ways to deal with holiday travel that are a little less expensive and painful. They aren’t going to be for everyone, but if you’re looking to avoid the unpleasant commercial flight experience, you’ll benefit from some of these.

Take a Train

Fun during the holidays? Not necessarily, but hear us out. Amtrak actually offers overnight cabins for fairly reasonable prices. It will take a little longer to get where you’re going, but the cabins are actually comfortable and far more accommodating than squishing into a plane. It’s definitely something to consider – particularly if you can take a little time getting there and need a little “alone” time.

Discount Sites

Even if you typically book with one airline and rack up on miles, it might make sense to check online for cheaper plane tickets using sites like Kayak.com, Travelocity.com or Priceline.com. There are a few places you can look. It might make sense for you to check out these sites for lower priced tickets as opposed to relying on frequent flyer miles.

Ask for Discounts

Many airlines run discounts around the holidays that you don’t even know you can take advantage of. AAA discounts, and situational discounts are always possible, and it’s worth making a call to the airline. If you’re experiencing a personal emergency that requires a bereavement ticket or discount, you can ask about that as well. It doesn’t hurt to take a few minutes of your time to see what else might be available.

Consider Luxury Travel

Traveling coach is terrible, and first class isn’t always the best experience during the holidays. Chartering a plane can often be a time consuming and expensive enterprise. Fortunately, there’s Kavoo. Luxury travel that you can book just like an air taxi can be a really convenient alternative to jam-packed holiday travel. Looking into something that will save you time and provide a luxury experience just makes sense.

Holiday travel is not any fun, but there are steps you can take to minimize the cost and the pain. Think about time-saving alternatives that can get you there faster and help you ride in style. After dealing with the stress of the holidays, you definitely deserve a break.

Kavoo - ideal for businessTraveling 1st class, holidays can be particularly painful for busy executives who are trying to make time for family and work. Fortunately enough, Kavoo provides an individually tailored, unique travel solution for busy executives in search of charter plane companies.

Kavoo isn’t just an ordinary charter flight service geared to help an exec live the ultimate luxury lifestyle. Kavoo is a customized travel solution – an air taxi that will get the busy and selective business person where they need to go, and quickly. A Boston charter plane can cost an executive hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to purchase. With Kavoo, charter plane rates can save an executive thousands of dollars over time – and most importantly, our charter planes for hire will get a consumer exactly where they want to go.

First class flights can be difficult over the holidays, but not with Kavoo.

With Kavoo, the charter plane cost is well worth the luxury and convenience you’ll experience – and it’s much more cost efficient than you think!

Kavoo has the ability to get you almost anywhere. Charter plane executive services operate with many different airports most flyers don’t even know about. That means your options are expanded to include areas that may be difficult to travel to, or require extra transportation costs if you’re out of the way. Kavoo is happy to get you there, at a reasonable charter plane price and with connections other charter plane services simply don’t have.

If you’re ready to get the luxury lifestyle magazine kind of living you deserve – or, if you want a quick business solution with a charter plane executive flight that’s reasonably priced, Kavoo was built for someone like you. We know you’re busy and you need to get to where you’re going, so we’re ready to provide exclusive charter plane rental across the US.

Kavoo Fly Guide: Summer Camp

August 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment

It’s been a wonderful (read: quiet) summer and we’re not suggesting you go rogue and leave the kids at summer camp, but your best move might be to save energy from the ensuing hug fest and abandon the 8-hour car ride to Camp Wobegon’s inevitable Parent’s Day.

Think of it as your well-deserved yearly bonus: getting in some good old-fashioned family time and that dinner date at Dell’Anima all in the same day. As for how you’ll get there and back – that’s the fun part.

In between crafting friendship bracelets and your Tajarin Carbonara, you’ll get solid adult pampering in a stylish aircraft. Instead of making a left at the Piggly Wiggly, you’ll be listening to engaging Sirius XM radio entertainment, enjoying a refreshing beverage and snack, and watching full-screen views of the distance that delightfully separates you from your offspring.

And that definitely deserves a “kumbaya.”

Kavoo fly’s to over 500 airports in the Northeast and the one nearest camp is closer than you think… NY to Maine in about an hour.
