Generally, not. Air charter companies fly from smaller, very nice, executive terminals. Air charter companies will provide directions to these terminals.

No. You don’t need to know anything about airplanes. Our job is to make everything easy and convenient for you, such as suggesting the best aircraft for your trip. All you need to know is where you want to go, when you want to get there, when you want to return, how many people will be going with you, and the approximate weights of each person in your party and the luggage.
- I have never flown in small airplanes before. I am a little nervous.
Being a little apprehensive is natural. We will do everything possible to allay your fears. Smaller air charter airplanes are just as strong and safe as larger aircraft. The sensations of flying are somewhat different because smaller aircraft are more sensitive to wind flows, but soon you will not even notice. You might even find that you like to fly in smaller aircraft better!
