such as this one — peppered around FlyerTalk.
Those airlines offer travel without some of the hassles normally associated with commercial airlines — such as having to go through an airport security checkpoint and paying for parking as two examples.
Other airlines which could potentially belong to this growing category could also include Surf Air, ImagineAir, Southern Airways Express and JetSuite.
The combination of private jet transportation, air taxi services and other unconventional methods of traveling by air could reside in a forum called
Alternate Air Travel or something similar to that......and I completely agree with this statement as to where this proposed forum would possibly be located on FlyerTalk.
Other categories for consideration for inclusion might be charter discussions, catching rides on corporate aircraft (some people do), medevac, voluntary / charitable flying of patients to medical treatment and surgery (notably
Angel Flight) and
Angel Flight West, etc. Those private pilots among us might even be able to wangle a thread or two there.
