The Backup Plan New York Airport Service

Layovers In a New York Minute

Previously we have discussed some of the more glaring negativisms or airline travel; today we will discuss another, layovers.  A layover at an airport, or even worse a transfer to another airport, can be ridiculously stressful especially if you are unfamiliar with that particular airport.  Factor in a chaotic environment like that which is found at any of New Yorks three major Airports (or any of the plethora of smaller ones for that matter) and you have the potential for veritable nightmares.  The goods news is that we are here to offer a very simple solution to this problem look into using a New York executive car service. With a true executive car service the stress involved in transferring between airports is completely eliminated and if you have several hours to kill your professional chauffeur will help you make the most of your New York minute.

Now, just to clarify, there is a very distinct difference between an executive car service and a black car service (see Executive car service Vs. Black Car Service) and while the later may seem to fit your needs you may be taking a big risk.  With an executive car service your chauffeur will know the area, the vehicle will be on time, and equipped with all the latest flight tracking and GPS so you can sit back and rest easy knowing that you will make that connecting flight.  So relax, have a drink; check out some of the incredible venues that New York is famous for (for ideas on these check out Great Restaurants in NYC).  Know that you are in capable hands and the gentleman behind the wheel will get you where you need to go and you might just be able to turn that potentially horrific layover into a mini vacation.

Booking Your Executive Car Service To The Airport

Booking an executive car service to the airport when traveling is something that is often out off until the last minute when planning a trip.  Although a company like All Star is able to accommodate same day and last minute travel arrangements it is something that should be done around the same time you book your hotel or your flight, this is simply to save you any kind of aggravation.  For some companies it is a simple and easy process, with All Star you don’t even have to pick up the phone, you can make your travel arrangements via our online reservation process, it takes about 5 minuets.  Taking an executive car service to the airport is a nice choice for several reasons including the potential to save money as well as the reliability and comfort of something like Lincoln’s new MKT town car.

Many people don’t realize that it is often cheaper to book a car to go back and forth to the airport then it is to park your vehicle there.  A round trip to the airport is roughly $200 long term parking is about $20 a day, factor in gas and time and if your going away for more then five days it becomes a no brainer.   The airport is often said to be one of the most stressful and least liked elements of traveling.  Let a reliable company do all the work for you, we will track your flight, tell you what time to get picked up and take you there in luxury, comfort and style.  We have 24/7/365 dispatch and will have your vehicle pulled up to meet you as you walk out of the terminal or we will have a chauffeur inside with a digital sign to help you with your bags, its your choice.

Taking a car service to the airport is the better choice, as long as you use a reliable and reputable company.  It will save you time and money as well as take away the stress that comes with dealing with airports and air travel.  We have mastered and streamlined our reservation process and our executive car service transfers and we promise that when we pick you up we wont let you down.

Republic Airport occupies 526 acres in East Farmingdale and began operation nearly a century ago in the spring of 1928.  Originally it was used as a testing ground for new aircraft built by local manufactures such as Grumman and Seversky.  It was not until 1965 that the airport became a general aviation airport when the Farmingdale Corporation purchased it.

Today Farmingdale’s Republic Airport boasts a $139 million impact to Nassau and Suffolk Counties each year.  It is most well known for its appeal to traveling executives and corporate clientele.   To these business travelers time is money and the last thing these busy people have time to do is find a good restaurant.  So in the interest of expeditiousness here are three Zagat rated restaurants near Farmingdale’s Republic Airport.

Franks Steak’s is located just over ten miles, at Jericho turnpike in Jericho NY, South West of Republic Airport and has been Zagat rated since 1988.  Zagat survey says Franks has “The best skirt steak on earth.”  A bold statement but it is not far from the truth.  Franks steaks serves only prime aged beef and surpasses the highest standards in the industry.   Franks is no mere steak house and has a large and varied menu that includes chops, chicken, salads and seafood.

Ariana Restaurant is located just under ten miles from Republic Airport, in the township of Huntington, and even after scouring the internet I could not find one negative thing said about this truly unique establishment.  Offering fine Afghan and Vegan cuisine for over 18 years Zagat claims “Araina is Long Island’s best kept vegan secret.”  The food and seasoning in this establishment is incredible and like nothing I have ever tasted before.  Everything I have had the pleasure of trying has been delicious, to the point where when I return I am hesitant to try anything new because I have so enjoyed the previous meals.  This is another fine choice by Zagat and a great selection for any traveling executive.

The Journey Part III

The honeymoon came and by that time John and Mary’s confidence in All Star Limousine was already established.  The town car arrived on time and was exactly like the one that had picked them up the night of their wedding clean, new and efficient.  The driver assisted them with their luggage he was courteous, polite and even had the morning’s paper in the back seat for them when he arrived.  The trip was fantastic and when they returned from their tropical getaway their journey with all star continued, the diver met them in baggage with a sign and the chauffeur that day had actually been the gentleman who had driven the lead car the day of their wedding.  The man was so kind and reassuring that day, calming Mary and going so above and beyond that to see him now at the end of their experience almost brought Mary to tears.  Of course the ride home was flawless as the couple now knew it would be, and when they were dropped off the now husband and wife were saddened by the thought that their journey with All Star Limousine had come to end, what they did not realize was that this was just the beginning….

The Corporate Travel Department (3 Important Skills for any Travel Manager)

If you hold the title of travel manager you may have a tougher job then most may give you credit for.  The title of travel manager is somewhat new but in todays fast paced society it is absolutely necessary for any company that has any type of travel needs to either have an individual, and if needs are great enough, an entire department dedicated to handling all a companies logistical needs.  Years ago a companies procurement department, the department responsible for obtaining any services or goods that the company may require, was responsible for handling the travel needs for the company but often times that is a recipe for disaster. 

A procurement department is concerned primarily with one thing, the budget.  Whatever is the cheapest way to go is the direction that the procurement department heads in.  This is where you will find online bidding for services and all types of haggling and negotiations.  Now that may be fine when it comes to buying 10,000 pens or reams of white paper, but not when executive car service and or air and ground logistics are concerned.  Executive car services that can offer a low price point are not properly reinvesting their revenue back into the business.  Car service and limousine service is not cheap.  If you are looking for inexpensive ground transportation use a black car company or a cab service.  That is not intended to sound haughty or arrogant it is the truth, this is an industry where you get what you pay for.

The corporate travel department needs to have a solid understanding of their budget and the current and upcoming cost of travel in order to properly do their jobs.  Gas prices and airline costs change monthly and from region to region it is important to be aware of these variations.  The travel manager needs to be organized, they need to have a complete schedule for all upcoming transfers and they need to be on top of any last minute changes or fluctuations in that schedule.  Most importantly (and this is the case with many positions) they need to be able to communicate properly and effectively.  Communication is necessary for success in any travel department because things move quickly and there are a myriad of variables that can affect even the most meticulously planned travel schedule.  The travel department needs to be on top of all these changes and variations and then they need to be able to communicate properly to the correct person or persons these changes and the significance of them.

The corporate travel manager is not an easy job.  There is much to take into consideration and many variables to account for and often when things beyond your control throw a wrench into the works you will be the one doing damage control.  A proper understanding of the travel industry, a good head for budgeting and a knack for communication will contribute to the recipe for success for any travel department in any industry.
