A family travel in a light aircraft to save time and avoid queues at airports.<br /><br />Jonathan Jones, 30, an NFL player, has been flying his family around using a light aircraft after obtaining his pilot's license in April last year.<br /><br />Jonathan's wife Andressa Barboza, 29, and their three kids, all from Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, fly with him everywhere.<br /><br />The main reason they fly, according to Andressa, is convenience as they are able to save up to five hours depending on the trip.<br /><br />Andressa, an estate agent, said: "We save about five hours because on commercial flights we have to get to the airport and go through security and everything else.<br /><br />"Last night we flew to Georgia and we could leave at six in the evening.<br /><br />"When you put everything together you save four-to-five hours.<br /><br />"There's no security and no waiting in line. That's one of the best things, there's so much flexibility."<br /><br />Last month, the couple took a family trip and flew to Florida just to get some sun.<br /><br />Jonathan flew Andressa and their children Skylar, eight, Jaxon, two, and Jaiden, one, to Tampa - 580 miles away.<br /><br />She said: "He was working during football season so we just took quick trips. <br /><br />"Our daughter had two days off school this time so we decided to have a family holiday. We just wanted to get away from the cold."<br /><br />The family are planning to fly to the Superbowl on February 11 and to their wedding ceremony on March 16.<br /><br />Andressa said: "He's very like let's go grab dinner at this island 30 minutes away.<br /><br />"We've flown to The Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard, Atlanta and we'll fly to the Superbowl.<br /><br />"We're having the celebration in March and he'll most likely fly us there."<br /><br />Jonathan, who plays for the New England Patriots, decided he would become a pilot two years ago.<br /><br />The two-time SuperBowl champion went to flight school during the off-season and studied for his license after work.<br /><br />Andressa said: "For the last one-and-a-half years he's been really intrigued by aviation.<br /><br />"He went to flight school and he would study after work in the off-season he went flying every day.<br /><br />"He met a pilot and flew to our house. It only took 30 minutes and he was so excited. It would have been a four-hour trip."<br /><br />Andressa added: "It's so convenient. You can do whatever you want.<br /><br />"It's literally just you, the world and the sky.<br /><br />"I know that no matter what he'll keep us safe."
