Aero. If gays did airlines…
Bring out your inner Meghan Markle… No we don’t mean start wearing unflattering camel coats and too much make-up. We do mean bag yourself a private jet to get back from your holidays because, even if you’re not a second-rate actress who married well, you can still afford to travel in style.
Thanks to Aero, private jet travel is now within reach of even our hard-working hands. And there’s no over-estimating how beating the queues (especially at this stage in the UK travel game) and taking just two minutes to get through security adds to the holiday experience.
Coming back from a few days in Ibiza, rather than brave the airport, which, Ibiza being what Ibiza is, tends to be a mix of fairly sophisticated travelers and youngsters still off their nuts from the nights out on ethanol cocktails in San Antonio, we thought we’d get around it.
And now that democratic private jet company Aero has popped up, there is a way around it. Be greeted at a deserted building by charming staff equipped with mini bottles of champagne to ease you into the experience and don’t forget to give your on-board drinks order so that Michael can have your cocktails ready for you as you board, with a little name card by the side just in case two people have ordered the same Grey Goose and soda.
From there, a very friendly Aero person will pop you on a people carrier for… ooh, fifteen seconds to take you to get your passport looked at – in an instant! - and your luggage scanned, then, before you know it Michael is greeting you up the little Jackie O private jet ladder onto your Aero Legacy. By now, your excitement is, trust us, considerable.
And you won’t be disappointed by the interiors either with white canvas walls, leather seats, most of which lay out flat if you can bear to miss a minute of the trip, lacquered teak so shiny you could pop spots in it, carpeting and a toilet with its own leather padded seat in case you need a sit down afterwards.
Michael, meanwhile, has been run off his feet warming nuts, creating popcorn, refreshing drinks, being charming and funny, sorting out tossed goat’s cheese salad, should the fancy even cross your mind... it’s surprising how much there is to do even for low-maintenance passengers such as ourselves.
But you can’t afford this, you’re thinking. Little old, humble old you. Well, you’d be surprised. With Aero’s clever ‘dynamic pricing model’, the price comes way down… OK they’re never going to beat EasyJet on price, but they’re going to beat the brown stuff out of them on every other comparison point. Even when you arrive at your destination, it’s a case of getting off and getting into a car they’ve pre-ordered for you that is waiting right there on the tarmac like you were Princess Margaret or Marilyn Monroe or someone. Even Meghan Markle would be impressed and she’s a tough nut to crack.
