Snowbirds! RoadStallions are Safer than Private Air Charter – at 1/3 the Cost
Covid-19 Safe Travel: RoadStallion’s are Safer than Private Air Charter – at 1/3 the Cost
Savvy snowbirds are starting to make their annual migration to the Sunshine State. This year, doing so safely in a Covid-19 environment is a new factor. But traveling comfortably and enjoying the trip is still an objective. One of the options is to charter a private jet, and thereby reduce the number of people you must interact with to get from here to there. Studies suggest this reduces the number of touch points during your trip from 700 to 20. But the cost premium is substantial. For example, a trip from Manhattan to Palm Beach on a midsize jet chartered out of Teterboro will cost $18,000 or more. Nevertheless, many private jet charters have limited supply, and what some observers believe are premium prices.
Travel in a RoadStallion is an intriguing alternative. It is just as luxurious. With merely one touchpoint, there is less risk of infection than traveling on a private charter. At about $6-$7,000 for the same trip from your Manhattan apartment to your Palm Beach home, it is just 1/3 the cost. (click here for a more detailed comparison to private jet charters)
Two of the features that make a RoadStallion uniquely safe.
- A totally separate passenger cabin, and
- A totally separate ventilation system for each
Passengers do not share space or air with the RoadStallion chauffeurs. Once your gloved chauffeur closes your cabin door, you will be in your own bespoke and ultra sanitized private domain, from door to door.
Some of the other special or health-conscious safety features are:
- 6 ft to 7.5 ft social distance seating for 3 people and 4.5 ft to 6 ft for 4 people.
- Only one touchpoint exposing passengers to the risk of contagion – your chauffeur.
- All chauffeurs are trained to follow CDC infection control procedures that were customized for RoadStallions and overseen by a Certified Infection-Control Preventionist (CIC®)
- All touch surfaces disinfected before each trip.
- Refrigerators and coolers for bringing your own food; be met curbside to receive your mobile order or stop and eat at restaurants of your choosing.
- Bring your own coffee pods and bottled water if you’d like to use with RoadStallion’s Keurig coffeemakers.
- [Semi-private] flush toilet available upon prior arrangement.
- Pet Friendly
It will take you longer to “fly on the ground” in a RoadStallion. Travel from Manhattan to Palm Beach in a RoadStallion will take about 20 hours (vs. 5 hours by private jet). But have we not experienced the unexpected pleasures of slowing down over the last few months?
The RoadStallions’ captain’s chairs swivel and recline fully, making for a pleasurable, stress-free ride, even through the night. The views out the expansive windows can be breathtaking if you aren’t watching live TV or Netflix.
