The Experience
Air Excursions makes air travel hassle-free. Its planes can only carry up to eight passengers per flight, so there are no long queues to check-in or waiting around at security. Passengers can show-up for their flight close to boarding time and not worry about missing their flight.
The plane itself is fitted with large and comfortable padded seats, with bigger seat width and pitch than you'd expect from a traditional airline in Economy Class. The airline uses the same planes for both its scheduled and charter flights, so you can expect a private business jet styled cabin whenever you fly on the carrier. Each seat is placed independently within the cabin, so passengers are seated next to both the aisle and window.
As flight times are short, the airline doesn't have any in-flight entertainment, WIFI or meal services. Although, water and a snack may be provided on select flights. And, passengers are welcome to bring their own food and drink on board.
