Your time is valuable, which is why Chris Hogue, owner of Cottage Air, has made it easier to get to and from your favourite Muskoka destinations faster and easier than ever. On a chartered flight with Cottage Air, you can go from Billy Bishop Airport to Muskoka Airport – or your dock – in as little as 45 minutes.
While speed is a key benefit to chartered flights, Chris notes that the convenience and quality of the overall experience are also key factors that turn clients into frequent flyers.
While his company is best known for its Toronto-to-Muskoka flight path, each flight plan is customizable. You can fly in and out of communities such as London, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Niagara Falls, or to more distant cities like Montreal, Quebec City, Timmins, or even Detroit or Teterboro, NJ.
Cottage Air also flies into popular Muskoka resorts and exclusive hotspots like Deerhurst, the JW Marriott, Killarney Mountain Lodge and the famous Henry’s Fish Restaurant on Frying Pan Island in Sans Souci, Georgian Bay. These sightseeing trips are perfect for special occasions, anniversaries, or treating guests to one-of-a-kind experiences.
Whether you’re flying from the city to your favourite resort for a romantic weekend away, or surprising your guests with a fine dining experience like no other, Cottage Air is there to make it happen. “We’ll bring you the best views and the most remote culinary gems,” says Chris.
The beauty of private charters is that your flight is waiting for you, not the other way around. “We like to say, ‘If you flew Cottage Air, you’d already be there.’”
By using multiple float planes, Chris’s team can tailor your flight to your needs and give you the privacy you deserve. The company’s DeHavilland Beaver and Cessna Turbo 206 are both luxuriously upgraded, with state-of-the-art avionics, comfortable leather interiors, and Sirius XM Radio for each passenger.
“We want our clients to be able to board the plane, reach for a cold complimentary beverage, sit back, relax, and enjoy the view,” says Chris.
To make flying even more affordable Chris offers two different flight packages for frequent flyers.
“If you’re flying to and from the same location more than 10 times over the course of a summer, our multi-trip packages are ideal,” he says. The 10- and 20-trip packages never expire, so you can use them throughout this season or into the next. Use them however you choose – whether to commute to and from the cottage with your family, attend regular meetings in another city, fly clients up for a round of golf, or fly your guests home after a stay at the cottage. The beauty of these packages is their versatility – use them when and how you want and save more than if you booked each flight individually.
For those short sightseeing ventures, Chris suggests buying an hourly flight package. These packages allow you to buy a block of flying time that can be used to fly anywhere at any time. These plans are ideal for those who want the convenience of flying, without a set flight plan in place. Use this package for commuting to the city, sightseeing tours, and attending occasional business meetings, wherever they come up.
“Flying by float plane is fast, easy and a safe way to travel,” says Chris. “Whether it’s a round-trip or one-way flight, you can trust that we’ll protect your privacy as we fly you to your destination, quickly and safely.”
No matter where you will be going, make this summer one to remember with Cottage Air’s chartered float plane travel.
