Climbing outta my cave for this.

I am decently familiar on booking trips and never occured to me the past 2 years to reach out to CHFF (plan it rite). This yr flights were abnormally expensive and time was not on my side with yartziet being Sunday night. I called Chesky and it was prob a 2 min call. Sent him my card. And I was booked.

From A-Z there was not a single hitchbthe entire 31 hrs I was travelling. The food after security was perfect, the flight couldn't have been any better, everyone was super respectful (then again I don't think anyone understood my English......jokes) we arrived in bud and there were enough buses for everyone. Hotel had great food, showers and was perfect setup. Drive to kever and back to airport was exactly when they said and extremely efficient. And flight back quicker than expected. All in all 100% I would suggest anyone who is ok following a schedule should call Chesky to plan it rite.  Gipoilt altz git yidden.  Now back to my cave.  Until next time.
If you have any questions please search and then ask. PM me for detailed help.

Unbelievable. Only caveat is that going two nights without a bed is not for everyone.

takeoff till arrival was total 32 hours

@chff if you ever do an English flyer you must add some warnings like these (courtesy of ChatGPT)

please note that the following message is intended to be taken in a lighthearted, sarcastic tone. The team at Plan It Rite takes the satisfaction of their passengers seriously, and would like to assure you that every effort will be made to provide you with the best possible experience during your flight.


Quote
Welcome aboard our charter flight to Europe! We want to give you a heads up that during the flight, you may experience some unexpected and humorous elements that are unique to the Chassidish community.

First and foremost, our community takes prayer very seriously. So please don't be surprised if you're woken up early for a minyan. Whether it's Shacharis, Mincha, or Maariv, we'll be sure to have multiple minyanim on board so everyone can daven together. We understand that this might not be your usual morning routine, but we hope you'll join us in this important part of our daily lives.

Next up, we have the mitzvah of giving tzedakah, which never takes a break. Expect a visit from a meshulach or two during the flight, who will come around collecting donations for various causes. We know you're on vacation, but we hope you'll still be able to find it in your heart (and wallet) to give generously.

Now, let's talk food. We know that traditional Jewish cuisine can be heavy on the stomach, which is why we've stocked up on Tums to help with any indigestion. And while we won't have Coke on board, we promise our kosher soft drinks will be just as refreshing!

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight! Our friendly Chassidish crew members will be happy to assist you, as long as you ask in Yiddish! If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask. We're all in this together, and we hope you have a wonderful and memorable trip!

taken in lighthearted, sarcastic tone, but for all stereotype people;

A) Was a nice non-Chasidish crowd (and over 65 ladies)
B) with every charter I hand out a flyer with halachas I found that you should daven seated, and with a notice not to bother any of your neighbors. Now I'm not the bunk counselor so I cant enforce 'lights-out'
C) forgot to have someone collect for (SECERT) moidos. Next time "far mir in tosh'?
D) I explicitly requested from the airline the standard drinks besides the kosher I provided. Now they only load these from Poland, not the US, and when I told the FA to serve that he replied "the polish coke is not kosher" :)
E) that's why we did MM at the terminal, more bathrooms there  :-X
F) only the safety video was not in Yiddish, still working to get that done

Interesting. In Lizensk they serve local coke, IIRC the guy who runs the kitchen said this is with the guidance of Rav Landau z'l who certifies coca cola in Israel.
