TAKE-OFF AND TEE-UP WITH PRIVATE JET GOLF FLIGHTS
- SwiftJet Maximizes Golf Time for Enthusiasts Travelling to Canada’s Top Courses -

 

( TORONTO – February 4, 2009) – All across Canada hundreds of top ranked golf courses are available to Canadians, yet planning a weekend golf getaway can be an ordeal, especially when looking for a commercial flight becomes the primary focus. Vacationing golf buddies often can not go when they want (often right after work on Friday) because of inconvenient commercial flight schedules. Now, Canadian golf enthusiasts can maximize their golf time with the help of SwiftJet, a private jet charter company, helping golfers get on the greens faster.

Golfers want to spend their time on the course, not in lines or worrying about their clubs getting damaged or lost at commercial flight check-ins,” said Bassam Al –Sarraj, President of SwiftJet. “With private jets, your golf clubs go right on board with you, you won’t wait in line, and often we will fly out of smaller airports where there’s no time waiting to taxi out, which means more time for golf.”

Some of Canada ’s top ranked golf course such as Bear Mountain Golf Course on Vancouver Island, Jasper Lodge Park Golf Course in Alberta , Taboo in Ontario and Humber Valley Golf Course in Newfoundland are located several hours from the largest airport hub that forces golfers to drive a great distance. Private jets can take off where the golfers want and when they want. Golf flights can also be made to bring golfers to popular golf courses around the world such as Scottsdale in Arizona or Hacienda Pinilla in Costa Rica.

Private jet experiences are no longer reserved for the wealthy especially when a group of eight or nine golf buddies can be gathered together to share the cost. Golf trips to West Palm Beach or Hilton Head can usually be arranged the same day and would cost approximately $28,000 for West Palm Beach (just over $3,000 when sharing with nine other golfers) and approximately $25,000  for Hilton Head (just under $3,000 when sharing with nine other golfers).

On board the executive aircraft, travellers will find leather seats and in-flight entertainment to help kick-off the golf vacation in style. Catering from beer and pizza to fine dining with wine can be planned to meet the group’s needs. Additional details such as ground transportation and help with booking accommodations to meet any budget can be completed by SwiftJet’s private concierge service.

With rising costs of commercial plane tickets, inconvenient flight schedules and long line ups at the airports, the private jet is becoming a worthy alternative.

SwiftJet is a Canadian private jet charter company that flies anywhere and anytime to destinations around the world. More information can be found at www.swiftjet.com.
