The world of travel is changing in 2023. Private aviation is becoming increasingly popular while commercial aviation is facing difficulties with delays, high prices, and low-quality options. In addition, innovation in private aviation, such as fractional ownership models (where multiple individuals own a single aircraft) and jet cards (which allow travelers to purchase a set number of hours or flights), are giving travelers more flexibility and freedom to travel privately. This has led to increased access to executive airports, which means avoiding hubs, shorter flights, and ultimately less travel time to the final destination, making travel more efficient.
If you’re planning to travel within the United States this summer, it’s a good idea to consider taking advantage of the innovations in private jet travel. Here are five destinations to keep in mind:
The Inns of Aurora in Aurora, New York (Finger Lakes)
The Inns of Aurora is an upscale retreat located in the Finger Lakes along the shores of Cayuga Lake in the heart of New York’s premier wine region. The property was the former home of the co-founder of the New York Times, Colonel Edwin Barber Morgan. The Inns of Aurora is made up of five historic and charming decorated estates, which includes 54 rooms and two suites, each with amenities, including a spa, a farm-to-table restaurant, and complimentary outdoor gear rental. Travel and Leisure featured the Inns of Aurora as the number 1 Best Resort in New York in the 2022 World’s Best Awards. Getting to the Finger Lakes is flying into Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, which is 35 minutes south of Aurora Inn.
Planning a last-minute weekend getaway with your significant other, friends, or family can be an exciting experience. However, to ensure an unforgettable and luxurious trip from start to finish, it’s important not to overlook your means of transportation. Poorly scheduled commercial flights or those that are frequently delayed or canceled can quickly derail your weekend plans. That’s why flying privately can offer more convenience, comfort, and flexibility, making it the perfect choice to elevate your trip.
