Fly to Bahamas Once Again
As countries around the world ease their lockdown restrictions and open their borders cautiously, US passport holders find themselves left in the cold.
Some countries are taking a different route. The Bahamas initially imposed a full ban on US travelers. As the months went on, however, the island nation changed its tune.
It seems like private jet charters will play a critical role in keeping tourism economies and the travel industry afloat until the pandemic and related fears totally subside.
Bahamas to Allow Private Jet Charters – Will Other Countries Follow Suit?
In July, Bahamian Prime Minister Hubbert Minnis announced that all commercial flights and vessels except those from the United Kingdom, Canada, and European Union were banned from entering his country.
While Americans were still prohibited, PM Minnis explained that the Bahamas would make an exception for private jet charters. The Prime Minister also pointed out that should COVID-19 cases begin an upward trend, his country would be forced to re-evaluate the border strategy.
Until now, the Bahamas has managed to avoid a widespread COVID-19 outbreak, thankfully.
Demand for private flights has surged in the wake of the global pandemic: up to 75% from last year’s spring-summer season. Private charters offer a much safer alternative to commercial flights.
Turkey, Croatia, Maldives, Seychelles, and islands peppering the Caribbean are all open either for all US travelers or strictly those entering through private jet charters.

How to Travel Safely with Private Jet Charters
It’s much easier to travel in safety with private jet charters. For example, charter flights can leave from and land in low-traffic airports and isolated terminals.
You interact with far fewer people by traveling privately too. On the plane, it’s just you, your pilot, and whoever you plan to bring – no passengers.
You can circumvent crowded security screenings and passport control lines as well. Plus, no one will handle your luggage except you – unless you request help.
Finally, private jet charters typically run nonstop – even on long routes – so there’s no need to wade through crowded airport terminals between flights.
While private travel makes avoiding COVID-19 exposure easier, unregulated or illegal charters pose their own separate risks. It’s important to protect yourself.
