Charter Flights for Bachurim and Seminary girls

[Jack Last]

I have been dreaming for years of arranging charter flights for Bachurim and/or Seminary girls JFK-TLV. I noticed that this Zman, Lalechet is offering a relative pricey Charter flight for $1029.83 (with tax) one way. I don't know if this is a first time thing or not.
Does anyone think this is an idea which has viability:
1) Get decent Kosher meals and decent Kosher entertainment.
2) Seperate seating or seperate flights.
3) Seperate check in and screening (from the rest of the airport).
4) Decent price.

Not likely unless you can convince all the schools to start the same day

[Something Fishy]

Definitely doable.

It helps that you, a random schmo, can charter an aircraft for half the price of Lalechet, who has been in that business for years.

If there isnt a profit motive but a ruchnius motive, and your goal is basically not to lose too much money, it should be doable for less than a for profit outfit will do it for.

You'll take such a risk for a ruchnious motive?

That's very noble...

Why not solve the Shidduch crisis too

3 is probably impossible. how can you check in separate from rest of airport? luggage? security?

[Chilla]

If they still have for $1029, it is the very cheapest direct flight available that day, and includes 2 pieces of luggage.

They're flying out of SWF, so you basically get all of that

Was originally advertised SWF, I guess they changed it

I would think that it would be possible to get enough ultra charedi yeshivos/sems on board in advance to make it relativly low risk

[Jack Last]

1. Sold Out
2. Not for profit
3. They advertised seperate check in

Finally anyone in this? any good starting point??

I've heard the Lalechet flight was cancelled, doesn't show up on any tracking site

Had family booked on that flight, they were given a choice of two flight options (direct and non-direct) and were rebooked and took off.

[Jack Last]

Rebooked on what?

[Saulius]

Rebooked on what?

They flew Lufthansa with a stopover in München, arriving in the mid-afternoon. They had also been offered a direct flight, but it would have gotten them in much later — and he didn’t want to miss his first day of zman.

Was there any charter aspect on the flight? or just cancel and rebook.
