Zip lines ? Here are some Latin ones which no one asked for: Avicula - little bird Avipes / avipedes - fleet footed, bird footed Avolator(es) / avolatrix - one who flies away (A)volans, (A)volantes / avolantia - flying (away ) (as in people / things which are flying (or flying away with the ‘a’)) Irrumantes - Frankly those all sound ugly to me, but I just wanted to contribute something so I could ask what this is for. Is this for a book or story or something, or are you starting your own business of chartered flights? ---

Alltogether Airlines Cater only to business travelers, not travelers under 15 or over 80, two-row seating (no middle seats!) and upcharge about $45-80 over your nearest competitor. Destinations should be business city hubs like Dallas, Houston, Chicago, NY, LA; avoid tourist-city destinations. Ad-line? “Alltogether Airlines - for the experienced traveler that has their stuff all together.” ---
