I dont know what I would rather do. I think the charter gig would be more fun and less corperate. However i believe a commercial airline gig would be better pay and all around more “secure” (if secure is even a word i can use in the job market) I would love to here some feed back from both sides. Thanks!

My boss just told me that I am in charge of transporting around 300 people for a huge event we’re doing later this year. I need a large plane and flight crew. My boss requested something like a Boeing 747 or something similar.

Is this possible?
Any idea how much this will cost?

Does a passenger on a private jet have to go through secruity at the airport in order to get to their plane?

Any alternatives to get my large dog from US to UK?
We are planning to move to London this fall/winter and are investigating how we can get our 80lb dog there. I’m really hesitant to put him on a plane as cargo. I wish I could pay for a seat for him.
Anyway, I’ve heard that people have chartered flights (the unused leg) for this purpose – anyone have info on it? Also, I read that there’s a cruise ship that allows smaller dogs – the Cunard, but I think our dog is too big.
Anyone have a private jet or yaht that I could borrow?
Any other suggestions?
thanks for the suggestions so far. The rules have changed with regards to bringing a dog into the UK – they no longer require the quarantine, but you do need to vaccinate, microchip, and get a blood test before they’ll certify your dog to come into the country. A bit of a pain, but much better than a quarantine.
I would buy a seat for my dog, but haven’t yet found an airline that would allow it. I’ve heard stories of people seeing large dogs in the cabin, but I think they must’ve been service dogs.
