Private Jet Charter Heli-Skiing Adventure!


Now is the time to book your next skiing adventure - in Alaska! Home to the world’s finest Heli-Skiing! Be prepared to dole out some cash for this trip, and check your travel insurance policy, because Heli-Skiing is an experience of a lifetime, and once you’re booked, there’s no turning back! At Private Flight Advisors, we highly recommend Points North Heli-Adventures (PNH). As Maine’s Gold Medalist in Snowboarding Seth Wescott said, “ I’ve had the best days of my life here … the day I leave every year I already can’t wait for the next 11 months to hurry up and get over. Till next April.”
“Points North Heli Adventures is the only heli skiing operation utilizing the southeastern side of the Chugach mountains. In the past decade, the Chugach Range has proved to be the premier destination worldwide for helicopter skiing and boarding. Our base location allows us to provide you with a ‘private’ playground in your backyard. While other operations share terrain, we are able to explore areas that the others can not conveniently access. We continue to find new terrain each year catering from the intermediate level recreation skier to the world class athlete. If you have heard of heli skiing in Alaska, and are already this deep in your research of operators, it is highly likely that we have terrain to suit your abilities.” -Points North 




As your private jet prepares for landing at Cordova Municipal Airport, you will see the very mountains you will be soon be skiing. Located in southeast Alaska, on Prince William Sound, Cordova is home to spectacular mountains, scenic wetlands, brilliant forests, and endless waterways, providing some of the world’s best skiing, hiking, photography, boating, and fishing. Upon arrival, a PNH staff member that will cater to your every need will greet you and take you on a short 15 minute ride from the airport to your homebase. PNH has access to more than 1500 miles of the finest terrain, catering to intermediate skiers up to world class athletes.

    -All fuel and 2 PNH guides (mandatory).

The Possibility to Save Thousands on Your Private Travel!

Recently our team at PFA did a cost savings analysis for one of our clients through his first 40 hrs of flight time against his Sentient Membership Card and Marquis Jet Card.  Our client paid a total of $196,045 on flights that ranged from same day round trips on Hawker 400xp’s to multiple overnights on Challenger 300’s and G200’s.

PFA saved our client $97,630 (46%) on newer and more desirable aircraft than if he used his Sentient Membership.  Conversely, if he were to use his 400xp card with Marquis he saved $314,021 (73%) which does not include the large interchange premium for upgrading to larger aircraft such as Hawker 800xp, Citation Excel and G200.

To find out more on how you can save thousands on your private travel please call or email me at any time with your next flight.

Chef Omar Sanchez creates a fusion of Cuban and Pacific Rim dishes, sure to please every palate. For that special romantic evening, reserve an exclusive table for two on Morning Star Beach where you will be served a seven course dinner, with champagne and a private waiter.




One thing to remember when booking your international trip is that all countries require some kind of advance notification of arrival. Rules vary with different countries from simply filing a flight plan to specific written notification days in advance. Private Flight Advisors will take care of all this for you, but the earlier you contact them, the less chance your plane will be routed to a secondary location, waiting to be processed by the slow hands of Customs, costing you time and delay-related expenses.


Here is a link to the FAA site regarding preparation for your international flights. It offers advice and requirements to help make your trip as seamless as possible. http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/ifim/intl_overview/


Developing and maintaing a relationship with a Jet Charter Broker is very important, and a little homework on your part will go a long way in saving money and time, and eliminating unnecessary hassles. Booking early will ensure that every detail is covered, so that you can focus your attention on your vacation.


Now is still a good time for booking with a good inventory availability, lower prices, and higher quality aircraft!

Private Jet Charter and Customs - Book Early!

Semptember is over, and Private Jet Charter is on the threshold of its busiest time of year. Now is the time to start planning your trips for the upcoming Holiday season! Save your procrastination for your holiday shopping, because right now is the best time to prepare chartering a Private Jet for your vacation. When Private Jet Aircraft inventory is high, the highest quality Private Jets are the first to get booked, and the prices are lower. As the season picks up, inventory becomes less available, and you will end up paying more for a lesser quality aircraft.


Another very important factor to consider is Customs. All countries require some kind of advance notification of arrival. For some countries, simply filing a flight plan meets this requirement, while others may require specific written notification many days before the flight. Requests should allow ample time for processing and return reply, if required. Your Jet Charter Broker will take care of all this for you, but the earlier you contact them, the less chance your plane will be routed to a secondary Customs location.


The last thing you want is to be held up in a different city, waiting to be processed by the slow hands of Customs, making you late, and paying for extra time and delay-related expenses.
