Private jetaway - secluded long weekends
Forbes Life
March 2009
The math is brutally simple: The more time spent en route, the less time spent en suite. That's especially harsh if you really want to get away from it all-say, to the far shores of Vancouver Island (Wickaninnish Inn) or the doorstep of Yosemite (Château du Sureau), among the luxury properties recommneded here. By commercial carrier you would spend most of the weekend traveling, whereas by private jet none of these flights is longer than four hours. Prices cover up to seven people and include fuel surcharges and 7.5 percent federal excise taxe. Jet card (JC), fractional (F), and charter prices are one-way. Fractional prices don't include capital investment and monthly management cost. For additional information and cost analysis, visit Conklin and de Decker Aviation Information (www.conklindd.com).
