The Backup Plan New York Airport Service

Whether flying is a rarity or a regular occurrence for you, these tips will help you stay comfortable on your next flight and visit to the airport.

Avoid Jet Lag:

Drinking plenty of water and starting your trip well rested helps avoid jet lag. Try getting some sleep during your flight and alternate with walking around to prevent a lack of circulation. Getting at least 8 hours of sleep before arriving at the airport is going to be your first defense against jet lag. Staying hydrated is extremely important, the average air cabin contains 10-20 percent humidity, while the average indoor humidity is 30-65 percent, according to Everyday Health. Lower levels of humidity can cause dehydration, making you feel tired and run down, beat this by drinking at least 8 ounces of water per hour during the flight. Sitting for long periods of time isn’t the best for your body, make sure you stretch your legs and get yourself moving every couple of hours to improve circulation and regulate blood pressure. While jet lag can’t be avoided completely, these small acts can make your trip more enjoyable by lessening its effects.

Eating Well:

Sticking to a healthy lifestyle while traveling can be a challenge, however doing so will make your body feel much better. Choosing healthier options at restaurants and convenience stores and even packing some of your own snacks can keep you on track and energized. The TSA approves granola bars, crackers, whole fruits and berries as well as dried fruits and cereals for carry-on bags. Even hummus and dips if they are less than 3.4 ounces. Major airports are known to have many restaurants at each terminal, which gives you variety, however they are usually catered to be fast and not the healthiest. Try focusing on menu options that are higher in protein and lower in carbs and fat. Most places will offer grilled instead of fried chicken and multigrain or whole wheat instead of white breads. Oatmeal and egg white wraps are a great choice for an on-the-go breakfast. Most airlines will offer free snacks that are usually high in sugar, salt and carbs. Skip these snacks and opt for a healthier choice such as a protein bar, fruit salad or unsalted nuts. Making sure your body has the nutrients it needs to function properly will leave you feeling ready to start your day after landing.

Avoid Getting Sick:

Nothing ruins a trip more than catching a virus or a cold, taking these precautions will help prevent getting sick so you can make the most of your time away. You may have heard this before but we are saying it again, stay away from the tap water. The Wall Street Journal conducted a study of 14 different international and domestic flight’s water, their results revealed traces of Salmonella and tiny insect eggs. Make sure you’re drinking bottled water on board, ice cubes, coffee and tea should also be avoided as well as the water in the restrooms, use hand sanitizer instead and wait until you land to brush your teeth! Unless you are boarding the first flight of the day most airlines will have already used blankets and pillows, it is best to bring your own. Before touching your seatbelt and tray tables make sure you use sanitizing wipes and avoid eating directly off it. Scientists have found sitting in the aisle seat puts you closer to passengers walking to and from the restroom, putting you more at risk of being exposed to germs. People have a tendency of touching or holding onto the aisle seats as they walk up and down, allowing germs to spread. Using the air vent above your seat to capture up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses in the cabin air filter, using a saline nasal spray and making sure you keep all personal items close and avoid the back-seat pocket will prevent picking up excess bacteria.

Stay safe and enjoy your next flight!

Traveling can be stressful.  So often we travel on vacation with the intention of relaxing but it is rare that we actually get to do so until we are unpacking in our hotel room.  This is especially true in a city like New York where we face stress around every corner.  Why not start the vacation at your doorstep?  While some of you are laughing and some are thinking to themselves “impossible”, I promise you it can be done.  The key lies in proper planning, and making the arrangements with the right organizations.

To start with, book your flight early, plan your vacation well in advance.  If you are really looking to save money look to travel during an off peak time, airlines are often desperate to fill seats on scheduled flights during certain times of year.   Fly on a reputable airline, one that is known either for their perks or their service.  This will ensure you a nice flight with no surprises.

The next key is booking your car service.  Hiring an executive car service to take you to the airport is not only luxurious but it can actually save you money.  If you are traveling for more then a week it is often cheaper to hire a car to pick you up and drop you off then it is to park at one of New York’s major Hubs.  The most important thing here is to make sure the car service is reliable, you don’t need to add more street to you trip wondering if the car is going to be on time and if your are going to make your flight or not.   As long as the company is reputable your vacation will start at your doorstep, your chauffeur will load your bags into the sedan or limousine and relieve you of the stress of driving through the traffic choked streets of NYC and the surrounding suburbs.  They will further eliminate the time and aggravation of parking your car in the terminal lot and finding a way to get to your gate.  They will drop you off right at the curb so that you may walk right into the terminal and begin to board.

Book a quality hotel.  Many of us will spend at least 30% of our vacation time in and around the hotel we book so make sure it is at least a decent one.   If you like to swim make sure they have a nice pool, if you enjoy a quality mattress and bedding make sure you check the thread count on the sheets, if golf is your priority make sure they have access to a decent course.  The hotel is the place you are living while visiting the local of your choosing so make sure you do your homework.

Travelling can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.  Plan properly and with enough time to engage the companies that you want in order to start your vacation as soon as possible.  On your vacation you should be able to relax from the time you walk out your front door until you’re punching the clock the morning after your return!

JFK International Airport

John F Kennedy International airport located in the borough of Queens in New York is owned by the city of New York and was leased to the port authority of New York and New Jersey.  In 2011 it was the busiest international air passenger gateway in the United States, in 2011 it handled more international traffic then any other airport in North America.  Today combined with Laguardia (LGA) and Newark (EWK) International airports it is part of the largest airport system in the United States second in the world in terms of passenger traffic and first in the world by total flight operations.

With over 90 airlines operating out of JFK including Jetblue Airways, American Airlines, and Delta Airlines it can become a bit congested.  The traffic in the area and the constant arrival and departure of individuals from all over the world equates to a chaotic and incredibly inundated facility.  With that taken into consideration it is important when traveling to or from such a high traffic airport to contract the proper executive car service.  You will want a company that is using real time flight tracking and whose drivers and dispatch are in constant communication.  This will allow the chauffeur to arrive promptly and to be able to greet you properly either inside at the terminal or curbside (according to your specifications).

The highly trained Chauffeurs at All Star Limousine Worldwide are able to greet you in the terminal with an Ipad displaying your name or the name of your party.  They will send a text message to your mobile device when they arrive at the airport so that you know they are there when you walk off the plan (for a curbside pick up this text includes the plate number of the car so to expedite the pick up).  All of our vehicles are equipped with Omatics GPS and state of the art navigation equipment that facilitates the travel process.

We are in constant communication with all the airlines at JFK international and will know the second something is delayed.  The tracking systems on all our vehicles allow us to instantly re-route drivers so as to optimize our service and assets and minimize any hassle or wait time on the customers end.  Our world class chauffeurs are extensively screened and trained and are intimately familiar with all the major airports in the tri-state area as well as each airline and terminal in all of these international hubs.

All of this allows All Star Limousine Worldwide to remain a leader in the executive car service and limousine industry.  We are on time every time.  We are here to accommodate your every need.  And we are the number one executive car service provider in the world!
