OK, we know that for a lot of people, travel in 2020 took a bit of a back seat, but we also know that travel and adventure and exploration are all part of our nature.
Despite the pandemic, we still need to get across the country somehow and a quick flight sure beats the alternative of having to drive long-haul, no matter how great your playlists are.
So, whether it’s exploring a new state, visiting family back home or squeezing in a trip to Canada or Mexico later this year (we can hope!) people are going to start dipping their toes back into air travel soon, and we want to make sure that when they - and you - do, that you feel safe and well looked-after.
So next time you need to head to the airport, whether it’s JFK, SFO or somewhere in between, if it's a business trip or your first post-lockdown vacation, we’ve got two words for you…
AIRPORT. TRANSFER.
Yup, they never used to be the sexiest part of a holiday, but now, private Airport Transfers are the new ‘must-have’ for any savvy traveler.
Don’t believe us? Think about it...
They’re convenient (especially when you compare it to having to battle your bags onto the subway all the way from midtown to JFK!)
They’re quick(er than the train, the subway, and waiting in a long taxi line)
There’s something that just feels fancy about getting picked up by a driver from outside your house or at your destination airport (especially when it’s not in a Prius where you’re literally judged on the quality of your conversation) and when you haven’t had to spend 15 minutes flagging down one of 30 passing cabs!
Private transfers are one of the safest ways you can travel to the airport, especially while COVID-19 is around. You get your own seat (that isn't pre-heated from a person who just got up) and you’re able to recline and relax in a controlled environment.
And just to make you extra reassured, whenever you see the “Hygiene Measures Implemented” tag on any of our transfer products, you can rest easy knowing that that transfer has been updated with a range of COVID-safe measures:
- More frequent cleaning and regular deep cleaning
- Hand sanitizers or hand-washing facilities provided
- Drivers have to wear face masks
- The cars are sanitized after every trip
- Windows are opened for better ventilation
