Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “semi-private flight” things popping up, and I was super curious about trying one out, especially around Chicago. I mean, who wouldn’t want to skip the whole airport mess, right?
Getting Started
First, I did a bunch of digging online. There are a few companies that offer this kind of service, so I spent a good chunk of time comparing prices, checking out where they fly from, and reading reviews.
Booking My Flight
After comparing a few options, I decided to go for it. Picking the flight was pretty straightforward. I chose a destination and date, entered my info, and paid. It was honestly not much different than booking a regular flight, just way fewer options, obviously.
The Day Of
This is where things got interesting. Instead of heading to the massive main terminal, I drove to a much smaller, private terminal. It felt super exclusive, I gotta admit. There was hardly anyone there, and no long security lines! I just showed my ID, checked my bag (which was way easier than usual), and chilled in a comfy lounge area.
Boarding and Flight Experience
Boarding was a breeze. We just walked onto the plane – no fighting for overhead bin space! The plane itself was smaller, of course, but it felt way more luxurious. More legroom, comfier seats, and the flight attendants were super attentive.
- No crazy lines: Seriously, the biggest win.
- Comfy lounge: Nice place to relax before the flight.
- Easy boarding: Walked right on, no fuss.
- Nicer plane: More space, better seats.
Overall Thoughts
Honestly, the whole experience was way smoother and more pleasant than flying commercial. I am so exciting! While I was able to get a better seat and easier check-in for my flight, the overall experience was worth it. It felt like a totally different way to travel.
If you are living in Chicago, or plan to travel, you need to try it out!
