Find the best British air carrier before you fly

Step1

The BBGA (British Business and General Aviation) association is the UK's National trade body that represents companies operating and trading in the aviations industries. If you see this acronym on the website for a charter service in the UK, you know you're in good hands.

Step2

Or why not start with a Virgin charter.Since March, 2008, Sir Richard Branson, who has a background in chartering, has been running a website for booking private jets. While it is not yet possible to book a flight directly from Bristol to the States, one can fly back from Bristol as part of a round-trip charter flight purchase. The popular commercial air carrier is not operating its own charter planes, but rather serving as a conduit for booking other carriers'.

Step3

Use the Internet to do the work.This is revolutionary: the hassle of dealing with phone calls and negotiations is gone. Just log on and shop -- for your next flight to and from Bristol.

Step4

Consider your options.Is it really worth the investment to book a private yet? In the age of extreme environmental awareness, prudent flyers should at least book up all the seats on a plane. Lessening one's carbon footprint - at the end of the day - means more than sipping that third glass of champagne.That said, smaller planes obviously burn less fuel. Fewer passengers onboard cause less fuel to be burned.

Step5

Don't let guilt get in your way.If journeying to Bristol or from Bristol to London is your lifelong dream, then go do it.These sleek rides in the sky are not to be beat... Just ask your average rock star.

Tips & Warnings

** Shop around through the Internet
** Some perceive this type of travel as wasteful. The UK is even more conscious of environmental waste than is the US, at least as of this writing. If you do fly a charter plane, make sure every seat is full - if you possibly can.
** It's expensive. Can you really afford it?
