Banking. preauthorized credit cards and lines of credit?

itschrisk asked:

I am starting a private jet charter brokerage. As the middle man I accept payment from clients into my business’ checking account and then pay the plane operator from that same account. However, payment does not occur at the time of booking, there is a credit hold placed preflight and then upon landing the actual amount is settled (net 10).

I accept a preauthorized credit card HOLD for the retail amount of the trip from my client. Subsequently, the plane operator puts a hold on my credit for the wholesale amount.

My problem is that I dont have enough credit to back the transaction. The question is, can I use the clients preauthorized credit card as collateral to back a line of credit or is there any other way for me to handle the transaction?

Can anyone recommend a medium sized jet that could comfortably accomodate 9 passengers?

execassistant1200 asked:

I am trying to identify an aircraft that would comfortably accomodate a group of 9. May of the private air charter companies are suggesting planes that hold 8-9 that appear very tight and uncomfortable.

What is the best way to get to Glacier Bay National Park?

That one guy. asked:

I’m planning a road trip this summer from northern California up to Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska. However, I’m having trouble figuring out a good way to get into the national park without chartering a private boat or a plane, which might be a little bit out of our budget. I’d like to drive to a point that allows us to spend the least amount of time traveling on the marine highway or by plane. Can someone with more experience with this give me an idea of how to go about doing this?

Any alternatives to get my large dog from US to UK?

Fiesta C asked:

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.

How much can you make flying charter flights with a small single engine plane?

leftoutpunk asked:

I am considering getting into flying, but I want to know if it could become a career, or maybe at least a profitable pastime. I would get my private pilot’s license, then the commercial license, and then hopefully get my own plane (this is all just theoretical). Probably just a 4 seater Cessna or something.

Are there any other ways to make money with this set up that might work better?

Are there any good websites related to this?? Read the rest of this entry
