Traffic Chaos During The Cheltenham Festival

Online, January 6, 2011 (Newswire.com) - 34-YearOold Richard Thomason From London, Who Visited The Event Last Year, Said, "The Cheltenham Festival Is Without A Doubt One Of The Best Events On The Sporting Calendar, But Last Year's Festival Proved To Be A Real Headache For Me And My Friends. We Got Stuck In The Most Horrendous Traffic And We Missed Some Of The Races. We All Said After Last Year's Experiences That Should We Re-visit The Festival We Would Certainly Consider A Helicopter Charter Service As It Is So Much Cheaper Than You Would Expect."

Running From Tuesday March 15th Until Friday March 18th, The Festival Will Attract Nearly 250,000 People Over The Week With An Astonishing £600 Million Being Wagered On The Outcome Of 26 races. This Year's Event Is Set To Make Inroads On Last Year's Event With A Total Prize Fund Of Nearly £4 Million.

But Catching A Helicopter To A Horse-Racing Festival? To Some, It Might Sound A Little Extreme But Like Richard, It Seems People Do Not Realise How Affordable It Could Be. Atlas Helicopters Specialise In Private Helicopter Hire And Provide This Service To People Attending Sporting Events, Such As The Cheltenham Festival.

Mike Burns, Chief Executive And A Pilot At Atlas Helicopters, Says, "There Is Often A Misconception That Helicopter Flights Are Extremely Expensive, But Many Are Realising That This Is Not The Case At All. By The Time You Have Paid Your Fuel Costs, Driven Miles And Started To Look Rather Dishevelled As You Arrive At Your Destination, You Could Have Arrived Feeling Cool, Calm And Collected Without The Worry Of Missing Any Of The Day's Action Due To Traffic."
