The 2012 Summer Olympics are right around the corner. For those who intend to charter a private jet to London, booking your aircraft and slots early is essential. The Olympics event generally attracts millions of people from all over the globe to one city, and the 2012 Olympics in London are no exception. Luxury Business Jets is currently experiencing numerous requests for private charter jet bookings to the 2012 Olympics. This event will be held on July 27 to August 12, 2012 and the demand for tickets and travel arrangements is now beginning to peak worldwide.
This Internationally popular event is sure to create a great deal of traffic at the commercial airports and closest hotels to the London venues. In the upcoming Olympics, London intends to utilize Wembley Stadium, Wembley Arena, Wimbledon All England Club, Lord’s Cricket Ground, The O2 Arena, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, and the Excel Centre for the games.
While flying privately has its advantages, even during a high traffic time such as the Olympics, it does require some advance planning in order to reap these benefits. For those private jet charter travelers who wait to the last minute to book their private jet to London, they will often find a very limited selection of aircraft available and often be forced to pay a higher hourly rate with minimums in order to confirm their trip. To the contrary, booking a private jet to the Olympics early will provide the traveler with more aircraft options at more competitive pricing.
In addition, for those who are considering whether to use their membership hours to go to the Olympics, be advised that aircraft charter is more cost-efficient and beneficial than fractional ownership or membership hours and for a number of reasons! First and foremost, with charter, the traveler is able to choose any aircraft they wish for their trip, rather than being locked into a specific aircraft type, which is often the case with membership programs and fractional ownership. This alone allows more flexibility with regard to getting the most appropriate aircraft size and type for each trip. In addition, charter pricing for International trips will typically be at least 20% less expensive than any membership or hourly card program. It is for these reasons that chartering a private jet to the Olympics is most beneficial.
